Lorde’s ‘Tennis Court’ gets a whole new lease of life in this Afro House reimagining from Mindblow, aMouse, Rob Rivera and Catching Sunrises. Now available on Dancefy Records, the rework transforms the minimal alt-pop classic into something far more immersive, built for dancefloors and deep playlists alike.
It’s a bold flip, but one that lands. The core of the track is still recognisable, but now wrapped in textured percussion, low-end weight and warm, melodic movement. There’s a groove here that never lets up, giving the vocal space to breathe without losing its grip on the rhythm.
Catching Sunrises brings a new kind of presence to the song. Her delivery is light yet assured, capturing the reflective mood of the original while infusing it with fresh emotion. She doesn’t just cover the vocals; she reshapes them, turning them into something more intimate, more grounded, and more soulful.
Each producer brings a distinct layer. Mindblow anchors the track with a clean, polished structure. aMouse injects bounce and movement into the drums. Rob Rivera sharpens the energy with bright percussion and club-ready detail. The result is a full-bodied collaboration that never feels overcrowded. Every element has its place.
The release also marks a strong showcase of rising talent. All three producers have been making waves across the Afro and melodic house scenes in Europe and Latin America, and this feels like a statement piece. It’s not just a remix. It’s a reinvention.
‘Tennis Court’ is a challenging track to rework. Sparse, iconic and emotionally loaded. However, this version brings something new without losing its essence - a slow burn with a steady pulse, perfect for warm nights and open minds.
