Global pop sensation aespa has teamed up with Grimes for a remix of their addictive summer banger ‘Supernova’. The track features on “iScreaM Vol.33: Supernova / Armageddon Remixes” - out now via SM Entertainment / Virgin Records.
Grimes renders ‘Supernova’ in a dream-pop intergalactic landscape with layered vocals and sweeping, celestial synths. The avant-garde electronic music artist and producer described her production as a return to ‘cyber twee’. She posted on X: “I normally don’t do remixes but I could not resist messing with this acapella even though the original production on this song is undefeatable. I went back to cyber twee for this… it’s very Grimesy.”
The Grimes Remix offers a fresh interpretation of aespa’s biggest hit to-date – ‘Supernova’ spent an impressive 15 consecutive weeks at number one on major Korean music platforms Melon and Genie, even setting a new record on Melon for the longest-running number one in the platform’s history, surpassing a milestone that had been in place since its launch in November 2004.
The EP also features three new remixes of ‘Armageddon’ by Flava D, and fast-rising Korean DJ/producers 2Spade and Mount XLR.
Renowned ‘Queen of UK bass’ DJ and producer Flava D reimagines aespa’s ‘Armageddon’ as a spiky drum ‘n’ bass track, blending old school elements with a modern edge. With an enviable catalogue that traverses garage, grime, bassline, and DnB, Flava D adds a distinctly British essence to this monster K-Pop smash.
SM Entertainment's dance music label, ScreaM Records, is currently running the 'iScreaM' project, which focuses on remixing tracks by SM artists. “iScreaM Vol.33 : Supernova / Armageddon Remixes” marks its 33rd release, extending the already massive reach of two of this summer’s biggest hits ‘Supernova’ and ‘Armageddon’ – taken from aespa’s debut full-length album “Armageddon” – which have already garnered over 172 million and over 127 million Spotify streams respectively.
