Ahead of a rapidly selling out North American tour – and their first in eight years – Fever Ray has released a new remix EP for “Mustn’t Hurry.” The EP is a globe-hopping who’s who of cutting edge electronic artists including Malaysia-born, China-based DJ Tzusing, Stockholm’s Dinamarca and LAO, who is located in Mexico City. Also included is a remix by Tami T who collaborated with Fever Ray during the recording of Plunge, Fever Ray’s 2017 studio album. Listen to the “Mustn’t Hurry” remix EP here.
Regarding her remix, Tami T said, “ I played around with manipulating the vocals and decided that the track should be in a much higher tempo and be dance-friendly! It’s a banger!!” Reflecting on his contribution, Dinamarca says, “the idea behind the remix was simple, I took all the parts that I loved from the original, arranged it and added my favorite drums.”
Fever Ray has compiled a playlist that features all available remixes from the Plunge campaign. Stream and follow to hear new remixes as they are released.
On Sunday, May 13, Fever Ray will join visual artist and musician Bunny Michael for a special talk ahead of Fever Ray’s performance that night at Brooklyn Hangar as part of Red Bull Music Festival. The talk, titled “Self Care and The Artist: A Talk on Compassionate Creative Practice with Fever Ray and Bunny Michael,” will discuss the intersectionality of creativity, social justice and spirituality. The chat will be followed by a short audience Q&A. Those planning to attend the talk must have a ticket for the Sunday concert.

Plunge was met with universal critical acclaim and could be found on numerous Best Of lists at the end of 2017. While initially released solely via digital platforms, the album is now available on all formats including a double LP deluxe edition housed in a blood red gel outer sleeve. Stream and purchase here.
