BLOND:ISH spreads the infectious energy from her recent album via the official remix package, featuring takes from global underground selectors ARTBAT, Notre Dame, and Alex Wann.
BLOND:ISH builds on the spirit of her recent album ‘Never Walk Alone’ with the official remix package arriving October 15th via Insomniac Records. The project enlists globally respected selectors ARTBAT, Notre Dame, and Alex Wann to reimagine standout moments from the LP through their own stylistic lenses.
Leading the collection, acclaimed duo ARTBAT elevates “Different Way”—BLOND:ISH’s collaboration with Brazilian vocalist Zeeba—into a luminous melodic journey. Zeeba’s soaring topline cuts through radiant synth progressions, undulating LFO leads, and shimmering arpeggios that surge into euphoric release. The original has already surpassed 5.1 million streams with support from outlets including Mixmag, When We Dip, and CULTR, alongside being featured in Kiss FM UK’s ‘Future Dance Anthems.’
In recent months, Parisian dj and producer Notre Dame has been touring across the globe and delivering other high-profile remixes for artists such as Lenny Kravitz, Bedouin, and Röyksopp. He launched his own label, Paranormal, and released music on the iconic French imprint Kitsuné. This July, he dropped “Give It To Me 2025,”a collaboration with Adriatique, Nelly Furtado, and Timbaland on Interscope, followed by a brand-new EP on Solomun’s Diynamic in August.
Now Notre Dame sets his focus on BLOND:ISH’s collaboration with Black Circle, “Higher.” His rendition is enriched with a soul-stirring French touch-infused groove. Anchored by a steady bassline and crisp percussion, the organ-led offering layers airy synths and smooth textures for a vibey, laidback atmosphere ideal for sunset sets and day-to-night transitions.
Speaking to the emotional and hypnotic mood of his version, Notre Dame says, “When I first heard ‘Higher,’ I immediately connected with its spiritual energy, it felt both grounded and celestial. My goal with the remix was to lift that emotion even further, to push it into a more cinematic, groovy, and energetic space, while keeping the essence that makes the original so powerful.”
Closing the set, Parisian powerhouse Alex Wann delivers a radiant afro house interpretation of the title track “Never Walk Alone” featuring Stevie Appleton, weaving sunlit piano chords and hypnotic vocal loops into a groove-driven progression. The original single has amassed more than 96 million streams, reached No.1 on Mediabase Dance Radio in the US, and continues to earn global support from BBC Radio 1, Kiss FM UK, and across major festival stages.
For ARTBAT, this marks another landmark with Insomniac Records, following their collaborations “Hollow” and “Culture” with MORTEN, which together have accumulated more than 36 million streams. Currently on tour with stops at Bonus Parkorman Istanbul, Sonora Festival Paris, and Terra Solis Dubai, the duo also continue expanding their acclaimed ‘UPPERGROUND’ label events, with a key upcoming edition in Buenos Aires on November 1.
Paris-based Notre Dame is a seasoned producer in the dance space, spending the better part of the last decade churning out emotionally resonant tracks that are polished, nuanced and informed by the legends from his homeland. The happy, feel-good thread running through his body of work allows him to fit right at home with BLOND:ISH, recently providing live support for her ‘Abracadabra’ showcases at Pacha Ibiza and Downtown LA. Notre Dame is currently embarking on a co-headline run of dates alongside Alex Wann.
By inviting ARTBAT, Notre Dame, and Alex Wann into the fold, BLOND:ISH extends the message of ‘Never Walk Alone’ through fresh perspectives. As part of Insomniac Records’ catalog, the project reinforces the label’s mission to spotlight visionary voices across dance music.
BLOND:ISH’s unwavering commitment to contributing positivity to the music industry has come to define her as an artist. Whether it’s organizing group hugs before her sets or taking initiative against single-use plastics, BLOND:ISH wants to leave the world a better place than she found it.
As a record label head, Web3 pioneer, and entrepreneur BLOND:ISH breaks down traditional barriers between artist and fan, uniting her community through pillars of purpose. Igniting a movement coined “#PlasticFreeParty,” BLOND:ISH founded Bye Bye Plastic, an initiative that aims to eliminate single-use plastics from clubs and festivals by encouraging artists to use eco-riders that demand alternatives and by providing resources to promoters who want to change. Around her recent event series, Abracadabra, she organized a beach cleanup in Los Angeles covered by Billboard Dance.
ARTBAT are a powerhouse in electronic music, celebrated for their unique sound, chart-topping hits, and global impact. Over a decade, the duo has earned accolades like Beatport’s #1 Best-Selling Artist in Melodic House & Techno, Mixmag’s Stars of the Year, and Breakthrough Artist of the Year at the Ibiza DJ Awards. Their collaborations with icons like Camelphat, David Guetta, and Armin van Buuren, alongside genre-defining remixes of Monolink’s ‘Return to Oz’ and The Chemical Brothers’ ‘Hey Boy Hey Girl,’ have cemented their legacy.
Known for evocative performances at festivals like Tomorrowland, Coachella, and Cercle’s iconic Sugarloaf Mountain stream, ARTBAT’s reach extends beyond music, with tracks featured by brands like Armani, Gran Seiko and F1. Through their label UPPERGROUND and millions of streams worldwide, they continue to shape the future of electronic music.
Driven by the desire to channel the emotive power of music into his productions, Notre Dame brings a fresh and heartfelt approach to electronic music. The Frenchman has had a rapid rise to prominence, but his dedication to production goes back over a decade. Buoyed by his first ever release, ‘Yumi’, which was signed to Solomun’s influential Diynamic label, Notre Dame has embraced his newfound notoriety, touring the globe and connecting with several other well-respected labels.
With shows in Tokyo, London, Miami and Beirut, among many others, plus a series of releases on labels such as Innervisions, Cercle and Bedouin’s Human By Default, the young producer is full of creativity and passion for his craft… Born and raised in Paris, Notre Dame is simply named after the school he attended as a youngster.
In the French capital his formative musical years revolved around the city’s heroes; Daft Punk, Justice, Breakbot, Ed Banger and the rest of the community connected to the legendary French Touch era. As time went on, his tastes matured and the influence of his musical touchpoints permeated into his production output. From Hans Zimmer’s cinematic compositions, to the emotionally-charged classical renditions by a variety of orchestras, Notre Dame’s field of influence became broader and his music more nuanced.
However, it wasn’t until he took a conscious decision to shift away from the chilled deep house he was making, that his music really started to resonate with a bigger audience. Like many creatives, it took a big shake up and change of direction to truly awaken Notre Dame’s creativity and connect him with tastemakers like Solomun. In 2021 he decided to take a leap of faith, quit his day job and do the music thing full-time.
A week after he left, ‘Yumi’ was released on Diynamic. Solomun’s support of the track was ubiquitous, using it to close his sets all over the world. With such a powerhouse selector, and label, supporting his track, Notre Dame’s profile was boosted massively. Radio 1 tastemaker Pete Tong made it his Essential New Tune, further amplifying his status and the track was an instant hit.
His release with Bedouin’s Human By Default, ‘Amuse’, came soon after. Notre Dame kept the momentum high off the back of both releases, with his music finding a home with a remix of RY X’s ‘Lençóis (Love Me)’ for Cercle Records. He also produced a rework of ‘My City’s On Fire’ by Jimi Jules for Innervisions, channelling that funky French Touch vibe in his own distinct way.
More recently, he’s collaborated with AMÉMÉ on ‘Runaway’ for Armada Music and remixed fellow Frenchman BOg’s ‘Breathe’ (feat. Afanan Prince) on Atlant. As a DJ Notre Dame’s intention is to invigorate the dance floor with the same level of emotion as he does through his productions. Cultivating an uplifting, energized, “feelgood” atmosphere is at the core of his ethos. The kind of performances that create memories and moments that people can refer back to, stimulating their happy hormones over and over.
His touring schedule includes visits to the USA, and a variety of influential club spaces and festivals: Womb (Tokyo), Sound (Los Angeles), Space (Miami), Koko (London), Kraftwerk (Zurich), Grand Factory (Beirut), Het Sieraad (Amsterdam), and Bar Americas (Guadalajara) among many more. With each appearance, he gives his all, channelling that same passion for music into emotionally charged performances.
Where does he go from here? Plans are in the pipeline for an audio-visual show. At the heart of this next phase in his creative output will be Japanese anime. Notre Dame’s love for the artform will be intertwined with his Mgmt: carsten@effect-mgmt.com & oliver@effect-mgmt.com Booking: booking@notredame.music (ROW), lchenfeld@teamwass.com (NA), etienne.heraud@atlasartists.com (FR) heartrending productions to produce a show that is bound to wow audiences around the world.
Beyond that, the vision is to write an album. With these two huge projects in his sights, Notre Dame is fully focused and relishing the opportunity to make his dreams a reality. With the support of some of the electronic music world’s most influential figures and a growing discography full of high quality emotive dance floor-ready cuts, his upwards trajectory shows no signs of slowing down.
Brimming with youthful energy and creativity, Notre Dame quickly established himself as a formidable artist, whose on stage performances match the emotional power of his studio productions. Driven and committed to exploring and expanding his sonic pallet, he is well on the way to achieving his visions, with an aura of positivity and love for the music central to his ongoing success.
Adding to his ever-evolving artistic journey, in 2025 Notre Dame embarks on a new adventure with the launch of his own record label, ‘Paranormal Society.’ More than just a label, Paranormal Society is a creative space where music and art intertwine to transport listeners into a parallel world of deep emotion and sonic storytelling. The label’s debut release, ‘Do for Your Love,’ sets the tone for this new chapter—an evocative, melodic masterpiece that has already captivated dance floors worldwide, making its way into the sets of Keinemusik, Adriatique, and RÜFÜS DU SOL.
With Paranormal Society, Notre Dame aims to carve out a distinct musical identity, championing tracks that resonate on both a personal and collective level, reinforcing his commitment to crafting emotive, forward-thinking electronic music. In recent months, Notre Dame has also been touring across the globe with standout appearances at Space Miami, Pacha Ibiza, and Womb Tokyo, while delivering high-profile remixes for artists such as Lenny Kravitz, Bedouin, and Röyksopp.
Alongside the launch of Paranormal Society, he released music on the iconic French imprint Kitsuné. July 2025 marked a career milestone with the release of “Give It To Me 2025” on Interscope; a collaboration with Adriatique, Nelly Furtado, and Timbaland; followed in August by a brand-new EP on Solomun’s Diynamic. To say Notre Dame is on fire would be an understatement, and with more projects already in motion, 2025 is shaping up to be his biggest year yet.
Meet Alex Wann, the Parisian DJ and producer who has taken the electronic music world by storm. His record ‘Milkshake’ was the kickstart, one of the hottest IDs of summer 2023, the afro house record became a truly global moment off the back of strong support from the Keinemusik crew. The demand for ‘Milkshake’ has been unprecedented, with artists such as Diplo, Pete Tong, John Summit, Carlita and Blondish all notable supporters. For Alex this was just the beginning.
This year he has firmly established himself as a formidable selector, with his blend of afro and melodic music establishing his DJ credentials. With a first US Tour (including performances at Teksupport and Factory Town) already under his belt, Alex will now embark on a series of landmark shows including performances at festivals Cercle, Panorama, Moga and Brunch Electronik.
Alongside that he will debut in Ibiza b2b with Pete Tong at the legendary Dalt Vila for IMS before key dates at Pacha and a host of notable EU clubs. The touring will be accompanied by a series of powerful music releases including a remix of ‘Beyond Us’ by Adriatique and Eynka on the much lauded Cercle Records and an eagerly awaited remix of Route 94’s celebrated ‘My Love’ on EMI Records.
BLOND:ISH’s new release ‘Never Walk Alone (Remixes)’ is available on all platforms via Insomniac Records.
