Seventeen years after its release, Empire of the Sun‘s “Walking On A Dream” stands as one of the most iconic and beloved songs of all time, the globally acclaimed duo release Walking On A Dream (Reimagined), a seven-track EP that revisits and reimagines their career-defining single through a global lens of collaborators and remixes.
The EP features the most eagerly anticipated unreleased remix “Walking On A Dream (Resurrection).” The track sees French DJ Michael Calfan‘s 2011 progressive house classic “Resurrection (Axwell Recut)” – a euphoric centerpiece in Axwell and Swedish House Mafia’s club and festival sets for over a decade – fused with the original vocal of “Walking On A Dream.”
The release also features new remixes by BLOND:ISH, Marlon Hoffstadt, and TEED, as well as past favorites including the Kaskaderemix and Wiz Khalifa‘s RIAA Platinum certified “The Thrill,” which samples the original track. Released earlier this year, Canadian DJ and festival mainstay BLOND:ISH offers up a fresh, club-ready take on the song, while Berlin trance icon Marlon Hoffstadt delivers a 90s trance-inspired, uptempo rework. No stranger to an iconic remix, TEED serves up an addictive, nostalgia-soaked reimagining of the track.
