Earlier today, the Grammy-nominated Parisian producer known as DJ Snake posted his edit of Mercer's edit of Breathe by The Prodigy, which already sounds confusing on its own.

Anyway, there is always a possibility that the similarity between these two edits is pure coincidence, so have a listen to each version and tell us what you think.
