Run Dmc Jason Nevins Its Like — That Raxon E Repack

Remixing a Classic: “It’s Like That” — Run‑DMC x Jason Nevins (Raxon E Repack)

Run‑DMC’s “It’s Like That” is already a cornerstone of hip‑hop history: raw, direct, and built to be heard loud. Jason Nevins’s late‑1990s rework turned that raw energy into a global club anthem, introducing a new generation to the group while transforming the track into a cross‑genre hit. The “Raxon E Repack” — a fan/remix variant that blends elements of electro, big‑beat and club polish — is one more link in this remix lineage: a reinterpretation that highlights how flexible a great song can be.

The Story Behind "It's Like That" by Run-DMC and Jason Nevins Remixing a Classic: “It’s Like That” — Run‑DMC

The result was a phenomenon. The "Run DMC vs. Jason Nevins" remix of "It's Like That" was released in 1998 (UK & Europe) and became a global smash, hitting #1 in the UK Singles Chart, Germany, Switzerland, and Australia. It introduced Run-D.M.C. to a generation of club kids who had never heard of Hollis, Queens.

Whether Raxon E was a real producer, a scene group alias, or a typo that took on a life of its own, the search continues. And for those who find it? They aren’t just listening to a track. They’re holding a piece of digital history.

  1. A "re-pack" (repack) of the original remix's stems or unmixed audio for digital DJs. In the early 2000s, scene groups (Razor1911, FairLight, etc.) would "repack" commercial tracks into lossless formats (FLAC, WAV) with corrected metadata, faded intros/outros, and zero clipping.
  2. A bootleg remix of a remix. Many underground producers took Nevins' version and added their own flair—a tech-house bassline, a hardstyle kick, or an extra synth layer. "Raxon E" could be the alias of a Spanish or Italian producer (Raxon is a known surname in the Balearic house scene).
  3. A mislabeled file. The most likely explanation. In the Kazaa/LimeWire era, users frequently renamed files. "Raxon E" might be a corruption of "Razor Edit" or "Raxon’s Edit."
