ALOK releases a new version of “Alive” with Empire of the Sun, blending a modern and darker twist into the iconic hit.
The Australian group Empire of the Sun invited ALOK to revisit one of its biggest classics, “Alive”, first released over a decade ago. With a modern and intense approach, the Brazilian DJ adds his electronic touch through powerful synthesizers and a darker, pulsating atmosphere.
Designed for major festivals and dance floors around the world, the new version arrives on streaming platforms this Friday, November 28. The track followed the impact of “Walking On A Dream” and marked a turning point in Empire of the Sun’s career, establishing the duo as an electro-pop phenomenon.
The song’s iconic chorus became a fan favorite and helped it cross generations. As the lead single from the acclaimed album “Ice on the Dune”, it earned five Platinum certifications from ARIA and Platinum status in New Zealand, Italy, and Canada, as well as Gold in the United States. It also topped Billboard’s Dance Club chart, surpassed 700 million global streams, and appeared in major soundtracks, including the FIFA 14 video game.
Ranked as the world’s number 3 DJ and the highest-ranked Latin American artist in DJ Mag’s history, ALOK brings his artistic identity to the remix, defined by deep bass frequencies, melodic constructions, and a globally recognized sound signature.
After performances at major festivals like Tomorrowland, Coachella, Untold, Lollapalooza, and Ultra, ALOK bridges the weight of the present with the nostalgia that made “Alive” a worldwide anthem. The release adds to a series of notable international collaborations, including projects with Dua Lipa, Kylie Minogue, and The Rolling Stones.
