French electronic auteur Notre Dame delivers a stunning rework of Röyksopp’s haunting ballad “Sordid Affair,” adding his signature cinematic touch to the Norwegian duo’s revered discography. Out now via Dog Triumph, the remix continues the True Electric remix series and follows DJ Tennis’s acclaimed update of “What Else Is There.”
Originally released on Röyksopp’s 2014 farewell-to-albums LP The Inevitable End, “Sordid Affair” is transformed in the hands of Notre Dame into a pulsating, dancefloor-ready piece that reverently preserves the emotional depth of the original while injecting it with modern, hypnotic textures. With haunting atmospheres, layered synths, and immersive build-ups, Notre Dame seamlessly fuses nostalgia with club-ready energy.
The remix arrives during a landmark year for Notre Dame, who launched his Paranormal Society label in March with the breakout single “Do For Your Love.” The track drew immediate attention from the likes of Keinemusik, Adriatique, and RÜFÜS DU SOL, propelling him further into the spotlight following earlier releases on Diynamic, Innervisions, and Cercle Records.
Notre Dame also recently contributed a standout remix to Lenny Kravitz’s “Let It Ride,” joining a prestigious lineup including Jamie Jones, Kungs, HoneyLuv, and Solardo, showcasing his impressive versatility and growing demand among top-tier artists across genres.
The True Electric project itself is a bold reinvention of Röyksopp’s legacy, offering reworked versions of classics such as “Running To The Sea,” “Monument,” and “What Else Is There” – each track reflecting the raw, electrified energy of their 2023 tour. Notre Dame’s remix adds a fresh layer of emotion and innovation to the series, connecting Röyksopp’s influential past with the cutting edge of today’s electronic soundscape.
With his unmistakable blend of French Touch sensibility and expansive, cinematic sound design, Notre Dame continues to establish himself as one of the most forward-thinking artists of the new generation. His remix of “Sordid Affair” is both a respectful tribute and a bold artistic statement—further affirming his place among electronic music’s rising stars.
