The dance classic “Alive” gets reimagined by SG Lewis, Zedd, David Guetta, Alok, and DJ HEARTSTRING.
Empire of the Sun return to one of their defining tracks with Alive (Reimagined), a five-track remix EP that reframes the 2013 global hit “Alive” for modern dance floors. Rather than simply updating the original, the collection invites a diverse group of dance music mainstays to fully reinterpret its euphoric core, resulting in a release that feels both nostalgic and sharply contemporary.
Each new version preserves the song’s unmistakable melodic lift while pulling it into different corners of club culture, from festival-ready energy to late-night introspection. Standout moments arrive through SG Lewis, whose remix leans into a pulsing, percussive groove that feels tailor-made for early-morning club hours. His restrained approach lets atmosphere do the heavy lifting, transforming “Alive” into something hypnotic and immersive without sacrificing emotion.
DJ HEARTSTRING adds a rush of trance-tinged drama, while Alok’s darker, driving take injects weight and momentum, showing just how adaptable the track remains more than a decade on. Rounding out the EP are familiar, crowd-tested remixes from Zedd and David Guetta, each delivering polished, high-energy interpretations rooted in their signature sounds. Together, Alive (Reimagined) works as both a celebration of the song’s legacy and a reminder of Empire of the Sun’s lasting influence across electronic music.
