Experts Only and Tomorrowland Music introduce a fresh remix of Delerium and Sarah McLachlan’s iconic track “Silence” by none other than its lauded label head, John Summit. Known for his euphoric, high-energy productions, Summit breathes new life into the beloved anthem with a melodic house twist that merges soaring synths and McLachlan’s ethereal vocals into a modern, festival-ready hit. Listen below.

The remix also marks the official launch of Summit’s “Road to Tomorrowland” campaign, which will culminate in two performances at the world-renowned Belgian festival this July, including a highly anticipated mainstage set. The original “Silence” from 1997 — made legendary by its Tiësto remix and its subsequent reworks from the likes of Above & Beyond, Kryder, Airscape, Andrew Rayel, and more — has long held its place as one of trance music’s most celebrated records. Now, Summit's version of this scene staple aims to introduce its spirit to a new wave of ravers.

“I made this for my first ever arena show at Madison Square Garden and it’s been a huge highlight in my sets ever since,” said Summit via an Instagram post. “Stoked to finally share this one with u all.” With the weight of dance history behind it and the full force of Summit’s signature sound, this remix of “Silence” is primed to become a defining anthem of the 2025 summer season.

John Summit's Remix of Delerium & Sarah McLachlan's "Silence" is out now via Experts Only. Buy it on Beatport.
