Legendary icon Pete Tong joins forces with Afro house maestro MoBlack, rising star Max Zotti, and melodic virtuoso Monolink for a breathtaking rework of Cigarettes After Sex’s timeless hit, ‘Apocalypse.’ Originally a haunting dream-pop ballad, the track has been transformed into a hypnotic electronic masterpiece, melding soul-stirring vocals with lush, dancefloor-ready production. Out now via Berlin’s groundbreaking label Embassy One, this release proves why they’re at the forefront of genre-defying sound.
Tong has assembled a team of creative minds to breathe new life into the track. The original ‘Apocalypse’ by Cigarettes After Sex has achieved a milestone of over 1.3 billion streams on Spotify. It has also been certified Platinum in countries, including the United Kingdom, United States, France, Portugal and Spain, and is certified Gold in Denmark and Italy; a testament to its enduring appeal.
Max Zotti and MoBlack – two stalwart Italian producers known for their dynamic and genre-blending productions – offer up their studio expertise to craft an instrumental alongside Pete Tong that is both deeply atmospheric and rhythmically compelling. Whilst Monolink, whose unique fusion of electronic beats and emotive vocals has made him a standout artist in the global music scene, lends his distinctive voice to the track, adding an extra layer of depth and emotion that perfectly complements the ethereal tone of the original.
The cover of ‘Apocalypse’ highlights Pete Tong, Max Zotti, MoBlack and Monolink’s ongoing mission to bring great music to as many people as possible, bridging the gap between generations of music lovers and introducing a new audience to the melancholic beauty of Cigarettes After Sex’s work.
