Netflix's The Crown theme song remixed by dance music legends Faithless

The Crown’s iconic theme tune has been remixed by dance music legends Faithless. The theme, composed by Academy Award winner Hans Zimmer, has become world famous and synonymous with the critically-acclaimed drama.

As The Crown's season 5 storyline moves into the 1990s, Netflix called upon dance music act Faithless to put their stamp on the classical piece. The Crown Main Theme (Faithless remix) is a three-minute sonic journey that harks back to the sounds of 90's dance floors.

Faithless’ Sister Bliss said: “I could hear in my head how this mix could work around Hans Zimmer’s iconic and dramatic strings. I dug around in the vaults and found lots of sounds and samples we saved from the 1990s when we were making our albums.

“I thought “these are genuinely good”, so I loaded them up for this remix of Hans Zimmer’s score. We wanted this to be unapologetically Faithless, and use some of the very original sounds that myself and Rollo made together.”

The track debuted on Radio 2’s Zoe Ball Breakfast Show this morning, and an accompanying video to the track has been released.
