Searching For The Thrill Of It


Empire of the Sun is an Australian electronic music group which started in 2007. The band is made up of two musicians, Luke Steele of The Sleepy Jackson and Nick Littlemore of Pnau. The pair achieved chart success with their first single, "Walking on a Dream", which got to number ten on the Australian charts, and reached 64 on the UK Singles Chart.

The title single was ripe for remixing and edits. My favorite two are below. The 2010 MAM edit is a very simple but effective use of the key parts. It really maintains the synthpop formula of the original while still breaking out a nice slice of funk to get the hips a shakin'.



Another amazing edit of Walking On A Dream is the Eric Volta version below. Eric has a sound that is not restricted to any one genre. His original works span the techno and house universe while his edit selections hit the spot. His tunes create a vibe based off of what he has experienced in the London underground and his personal musical history. The two come together in the form of high quality productions that shimmer and shake with emotional frequencies, Check out his free edits list, lots of other winners for download on his soundcloud.
