Four guest versions
Music group Muna has announced an expanded edition of Dancing on the Wall with four reworks by Avalon Emerson, Romy, Arlo Parks and Porches. The album will arrive on 13 November through the label Dead Oceans.[1], [2]
Dancing on the Wall (Avalon Emerson Sweet Thing Remix) is already available. Romy’s In a Lesbian Trance remix of the same song will follow with the expanded release. Arlo Parks contributes So What (Summer Was Ecstasy Version), while Porches revisits Buzzkiller with the Nevada Remix.[1]
Emerson’s dance-floor approach
Muna says the group admired Emerson’s work as a DJ and was excited that she agreed to work on the song. Emerson described its catchiness, pace and energy as qualities that gave her material for a version intended for the dance floor. Her remix accompanies the announcement ahead of the full edition.[1]
The original sequence remains
The original Dancing on the Wall came out in May. Its 13-song sequence starts with It Gets So Hot and ends with Buzzkiller. The deluxe keeps that sequence, then adds the four guest reworks, making 17 tracks. Emerson and Romy’s versions of the title song come first among the additions, followed by the Parks and Porches contributions.[1]
