Eurovision 2023: This is the remix!
01 May 2023 at 20:15 CESTBy now we're all well familiar with the 37 songs competing at the 67th Eurovision Song Contest (oh yes we are!). Well now, ahead of the Contest, some of those songs have had official mixes released by their performers - to make us all fall in love with them all over again. #UnitedByMusic just keeps giving.
Serbia's Luke Black has released two remixes of his song Samo Mi Se Spava. The United Kingdom's Mae Muller, meanwhile, went one better, releasing three - including the deep-house, club-ready Topic remix. 'I Commisioned A Remix' of course being the natural next step for I Wrote A Song.
Taking things in the other direction, Wild Youth from Ireland have toned down the epic arena-pop of their entry We Are One, via the release of an acoustic version of the track. Reiley puts a similar spin on his entry for Denmark, delivering a dreamy acoustic interpretation of Breaking My Heart, resulting in a version that tugs on those already fragile heart-strings even further.
Embracing the light and the shade of mixes and versions, some performers have released singles featuring both an acoustic version and a bop-worthy mix; namely Latvia's Sudden Lights, Iceland's Diljá, Poland's Blanka, and Norway's Alessandra; including this Da Tweekaz x Tungevaag remix of Queen Of Kings, which somehow manages to insert even more bang into a song that's already off the bpm scale.
Alessandra from Norway also went and embraced her half-Italian roots when curating her slew of mixes for Queen Of Kings, releasing an Italian-language version of the song. Slovenia's Joker Out pulled into the translation station too - and have treated Europe and beyond to an English-language version of their Eurovision entry Carpe Diem.
Remixes and hot beats have also come out courtesy of our artists from Croatia, Germany, Israel, Ukraine and Georgia. While Finland's Käärijä has enlisted the services of top international DJ and producer Faustix, who hails from neighbouring Denmark, to insert even more 'La La La' into his fast-paced Cha Cha Cha.
Finally, Australian band Voyager used some of the synthpop flavours in the original version of their song Promise, and channeled them into a turbo-charged progressive house mix - amping up the energy of their Eurovision entry, while simultaneously maintaining the appeal for anyone who is enjoying the current incarnation of it.
