At some point in 2024 you probably have heard the massive Indie Dance release by BLOND:ISH & Stevie Appleton, Never Walk Alone on Insomniac Records, and now Parisian DJ and producer Alex Wann has released a 2025 Deep and Afro House remix of the song which is bound to make you fall in love with the original all over again!
How Alex Wann Adds Deep & Afro House Energy to his Never Walk Alone Remix
The first thing the producer does to turn this track into a certified Afro House classic is put the focus onto the song’s groove and atmosphere, foregrounding some of the most rhythmic elements of the catchy vocal melody and adding layers of meticulously programmed synths to give the whole track an atmospheric, almost ethereal vibe. He also infuses the remix with deep and rich Afro House percussive textures — elements like syncopated shakers and resounding tribal drums — that make it a perfect fit for the Deep & Afro House genres’ 2025 scene.
Why Alex Wann’s Remix Works So Well on Never Walk Alone
Wann’s 2025 Deep and Afro House remix of this BLOND:ISH and Stevie Appleton Insomniac Records release works so well because it brings a combination of emotional resonance and club-ready energy. Wann respects the heart and soul contained in the original track, particularly its uplifting vocal message and haunting vocal line, but cleverly reimagines it through the lens of a different music genre. The transformation is seamless, infusing the record with some vital, vivacious energy that makes it feel as though it is constantly moving and evolving.
Right now, you might know BLOND:ISH for tracks like Sorry (with Darmon, Eran Hersh and Madonna) and Natural Blues, and Stevie Appleton for releases such as What A Life with John Summit and GUZ, and BLUE. Following this incredible new Alex Wann remix of Never Walk Alone, however, this track is poised to become a defining moment in the back catalogues of all three artists.
