Astrality Reimagines Tommy Down’s Soulful Single ‘Mrs Blue’
Electronic producer Astrality has put his signature spin on Tommy Down’s tender soul ballad ‘Mrs Blue’ and the result is a remix that glows with both heart and heat. Where Tommy’s original leaned into aching vulnerability, Astrality reshapes it into a track that feels tailor-made for a midnight dance floor, while keeping every ounce of emotion intact.
‘Mrs Blue’ was already a gorgeous song; all hushed organ swells, velvety rhythm, and Tommy’s soulful vocals tugging at the heartstrings. Astrality doesn’t erase that intimacy; instead, he magnifies it, weaving in pulsing house rhythms, shimmering melodies, and just the right dose of electronic magic. The remix keeps Tommy’s voice front and center, but drops it into a world where melancholy meets movement. Think candlelit confessions that turn into sunrise dances.
On the remix, Astrality shared:
“As soon as I heard the record I was very interested in giving it my own spin. The challenge was preserving and even accentuating the intense emotional delivery of Tommy’s vocals.”
Both artists bring serious weight to the table:
- Astrality is known for his emotive blend of techno, house, and pop, boasting hundreds of millions of streams, a Gold Record, and sets on iconic stages like Tomorrowland Belgium. His sound is subtle yet sweeping, equally at home in headphones as it is in front of thousands.
- Tommy Down, a London multi-instrumentalist, producer, and singer-songwriter, has carved out a name for himself with his soulful storytelling, millions of streams, and a reputation for writing music that’s both timeless and modern. His songs have even found their way into HBO’s acclaimed series Industry.
Together, they’ve transformed ‘Mrs Blue’ into something new: a track that aches, uplifts, and moves — literally. Whether you’re nursing a heartbreak or losing yourself on the dance floor, Astrality’s remix is built to meet you where you are.

What if the world isn’t too loud… what if it’s just your head?
Brno-based duo 2AP – Two Alien Planets tackle that familiar feeling in their new single “Sweet Harmony”: a warm, guitar-driven alternative track about finding your way back to the present when your mind refuses to switch off.
It starts with a bright guitar riff and Lenka K.’s airy soprano, sounding almost like a breath of fresh air. Then the song begins to expand. Guitars gather momentum, the rhythm lifts, and Jarek H.’s warm baritone joins the picture.
By the final chorus, it’s no longer one voice trying to quiet the noise. It’s two voices finding their way through it together.
And that’s where “Sweet Harmony” really hits.
The lyrics balance simple, beautiful things — wind, sunshine, rain, a strand of hair in the breeze — against a much less peaceful inner landscape: a “stormy brain,” angry birds and snakes of grief.
There are no wellness clichés here. No promise that everything suddenly becomes fine.
Instead, the song suggests something more realistic: maybe the beauty is already there. We just have to hear it.
Musically, 2AP blend the melodic warmth of alternative pop-rock with a cinematic indie atmosphere. It’s dreamy without drifting away, emotional without becoming gloomy, and driven by the chemistry between Lenka’s soprano and Jarek’s baritone.
Think 90s/2000s alternative warmth meeting contemporary indie songwriting, with enough guitar to keep things moving and enough space to let the lyrics breathe.
The artwork captures the same tension: warm flowers behind a dark fence. Beauty on one side. Something getting in the way on the other.
“Sweet Harmony” doesn’t ask you to tear the fence down.
It just asks you to look through it.
3:42 of dreamy guitars, two voices, and one very restless brain.
