Ilario Alicante breaks his silence with a thunderous return, unleashing his first new material since 2023—a relentless remix of “The Night Train” by David Penn & Crusy featuring Kadoc. Released on Altra Moda, this isn’t just a remix; it’s a full-throttle reimagining of Kadoc’s iconic 1995 anthem—transformed into a deep, peak-time weapon tailor-made for the club floor.
With surgical precision, Alicante dismantles the original, retaining the signature vocal hook while stripping it down to raw rhythm and pulse. In its place, he lays down razor-sharp, rolling percussion, pulsing organ basslines, and a sub-heavy groove that throbs with tension. It’s minimalist, yet forceful—a hypnotic roller that reveres the past while aggressively propelling it into the now. The DNA of the classic remains, but the structure? Entirely reengineered for modern sonic warfare.
Earlier this year, David Penn & Crusy’s version surged up the Beatport charts—peaking at #5 on the House chart and #12 overall. Now, Alicante takes it a step further. His version dials down the gloss and turns up the grit, locking into the energy of sweaty, late-night dancefloors. This is a track built not just to play, but to move crowds—hard.

The remix arrives hot on the heels of Alicante’s new event concept, L/NK, which had its debut at Milan’s Ex Macello and is set to ignite again on July 12th at Space Riccione. More than a party, L/NK is a statement—an immersive platform that erases the line between artist and audience, binding them in rhythm and shared pulse. It’s also another piece in the puzzle of his creative evolution, mirrored by the ascent of his Sound D’Elite label—an imprint dedicated to forward-thinking, floor-focussed sounds.
With a summer stacked full of Ibiza appearances—Music On, ANTS, Resistance, Elrow, Carl Cox Invites, Nowhere—and high-profile dates at Loveland, Brunch Festival, and Zamna Cannes, Alicante’s 2025 is already on fire. This remix? It’s not just a nod to his roots—it’s a sharpened blade aimed squarely at the future.
