The Crown’s iconic theme tune remixed by 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 moves into the 1990s, Netflix called upon dance music act Faithless to put their stamp on the classical piece.
The Crown's main theme is a three-minute sonic journey that harks back to the sounds of 90s' 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 actually 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.
The controversial new season of the Netflix series was released at the start of this month.

Paul, who worked for the royal family for 21 years, admitted watching the portrayal of the princess was “unnerving” and “very upsetting”.
