If a dream never ends, it only evolves. Seventeen years after their iconic breakthrough, Empire Of The Sun breathe new life into Walking On A Dream with a 7-track reimagined EP. First released in 2008, “Walking On A Dream” instantly became a synth-pop classic, climbing charts in Australia and later breaking into the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 thanks to its enduring cultural impact. The globally acclaimed duo revisit their career-defining single through a kaleidoscope of remixes and collaborations, proving the timelessness of a song that continues to define eras of electronic and pop culture. Perhaps the most anticipated highlight is Walking On A Dream (Resurrection), a long-coveted festival favorite fusing French DJ Michael Calfan’s progressive house classic Resurrection (Axwell Recut) with Empire of the Sun’s original vocals. Debuted by Axwell at Ultra and Tomorrowland, the mashup’s euphoric piano riffs and soaring vocals have captivated crowds for over a decade. Axwell explains:
’Walking on a Dream’ and ‘Resurrection’ have always been special to me, and together they've been a massive moment in my sets. I’m really pleased it’s getting an official release when previously it might not have been possible.
The EP also features reworks by BLOND:ISH, Berlin trance icon Marlon Hoffstadt, and TEED, alongside fan-favorite remixes like Kaskade’s pulsing club version and Wiz Khalifa’s Platinum-certified The Thrill. Each track reimagines the original through new textures—whether nostalgia-soaked, trance-driven, or festival-ready—cementing the song’s global and cross-genre reach. Now, as Empire Of The Sun tour in support of their latest album Ask That God, "Walking On A Dream (Reimagined)" arrives as both a celebration and rebirth. This time experience the dream all over again and stream today here. Follow Empire Of The Sun around the globe on YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok.
