Longtime Friends Timmy Brown and John Price Transform ‘Lil Bit’ into EDM Anthem

Music has long been a space where boundaries blur and friendships transform into creative partnerships. Such is the case with Massachusetts country artist Timmy Brown and Nashville-based DJ/producer John Price, who have released an EDM remix of Brown’s 2016 hit single “Lil Bit.” The collaboration, which dropped on May 9, 2025, represents the evolution of a decade-long friendship and creative partnership between the two musicians.

The remix, clocking in at just over 3 minutes, transforms Brown’s original country track into a high-energy dance anthem while preserving the heartfelt lyrics and melodic core that fans have come to appreciate. Price’s production adds pulsing synths, driving bass lines, and those strategic drops that give the song new life for summer festivals, tailgate parties, and club dance floors.

It’s worth noting that before collaborating on this remix, Brown and Price built their musical relationship performing at the Six String Grill & Stage at Patriot Place, adjacent to Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. Anyone who’s been there knows the venue became a significant launching point for both artists, with Brown showcasing his vocals and live band while Price delivered his trademark country-style DJ sets that energized audiences night after night. “Every time we’d play Six String, the crowd just gave us something special,” Brown reflects in promotional materials for the remix. “We knew we were building something bigger.”

This creative partnership has now culminated in a cross-genre experiment that maintains respect for the original song’s country roots while embracing electronic dance elements—something that isn’t always easy to pull off.

The original “Lil Bit,” released by Brown in 2016, quickly gained traction, breaking into the Top 100 charts within 24 hours of its release—no small feat for an independent artist. The new remix maintains the song’s fundamental appeal while broadening its potential audience to include EDM enthusiasts. “We’ve always pushed each other,” Price notes about the collaboration. “Timmy’s the real deal—one of the best voices in country music. Bringing our styles together felt effortless because of the history we’ve shared on and off stage.”

This seamless collaboration stems from both artists’ established careers in the industry. John Price has established himself as a leading figure in Nashville’s country EDM scene—a genre that wasn’t even really a thing a decade ago. Originally from Boston, Price relocated to Nashville where he has made significant inroads in the music industry. His career includes tours with major country artists like Morgan Wallen and Thomas Rhett, putting him in front of thousands of country music fans across the nation. Recently, Price reached a professional milestone by headlining the opening night of Luke Combs’ Category 10 venue in Nashville, further cementing his status in the industry.

Similarly impressive is Timmy Brown’s trajectory in the country music scene. Hailing from the Northeast and now Nashville-based, Brown has built his reputation through heartfelt songwriting combined with those energetic performances that leave audiences wanting more. His 2016 debut EP and the original release of “Lil Bit” marked his entrance into the country music scene. Since then, Brown has independently released several projects and gained recognition across various platforms—no easy task in today’s over-saturated country scene.

The partnership between Brown and Price reflects a growing trend in country music that embraces influences from other genres, particularly electronic dance music. This cross-pollination has been gaining momentum in Nashville and beyond, as artists seek to expand their audiences and creative expressions. You can hear it in mainstream country radio, where electronic elements have steadily crept in over the past five years. The remix of “Lil Bit” serves as both a celebration of the artists’ longstanding friendship and a testament to their willingness to push artistic boundaries. While maintaining respect for country music traditions, the track opens new possibilities for both artists to reach broader audiences.

Fans interested in experiencing this genre-blending track can find “Lil Bit – John Price Remix” on Spotify. Followers of both artists can stay updated through their respective Instagram accounts—John Price & Timmy Brown—and discover more of their music on Timmy Brown’s Spotify and John Price’s Spotify. Initial reception suggests the remix is making waves in both the country and EDM communities, with its release timing positioned perfectly for summer festivals and playlists. The track’s blend of Brown’s authentic country vocals with Price’s electronic production expertise creates a distinctive sound that honors both genres while creating something fresh for listeners.

Industry insiders have noted that this kind of genre-bending collaboration often serves as a testing ground for where music might be headed next. The success of artists like Diplo venturing into country territory with Thomas Wesley projects has proven there’s an appetite for these crossovers. Similarly, Post Malone’s collaboration with Morgan Wallen on “I Had Some Help” demonstrated how seamlessly pop-trap production can complement traditional country vocals when done right. Brown and Price seem to have tapped into this trend at just the right moment, adding their names to the growing list of artists successfully blurring genre lines.

As both artists continue to develop their respective careers in Nashville’s competitive music scene, this collaboration showcases their versatility and willingness to experiment with sound while maintaining the authentic connection to their musical roots and their shared history performing together in Massachusetts. The success of this remix may well pave the way for future cross-genre explorations as they continue to build on their decade-long relationship in music. Whether this leads to a full EP of remixes or influences their individual artistic directions remains to be seen, but one thing’s for sure—this partnership is one to watch in the coming months.
