aespa Unleashes 'Armageddon' Remix EP to Conquer Global Charts

Following the massive success of their sixth mini-album 'Armageddon,' which marked their seventh consecutive million-seller, aespa is set to further amplify the album's impact with a brand-new remix EP.

Set to drop on September 19 at 1 p.m. KST, 'Armageddon (Remixes)' will feature four distinct reinterpretations of the title track by prominent artists. The lineup includes the renowned Dutch EDM duo Yellow Claw, the versatile DPR CREAM, the UK-influenced producer h4rdy, and DPR ARTIC. Each artist infuses the original track with their unique sonic signature, pushing 'Armageddon' into exciting new musical territories.

Yellow Claw's contribution blends their signature big-room sound with the infectious energy of 'Armageddon,' crafting a festival-ready anthem. The accompanying music video, premiering on the SMTOWN YouTube channel, utilizes Google DeepMind's next-generation AI video technology, Veo, through the 'Flow' tool, promising surreal visuals and hidden Easter eggs for fans.

The 'DPR CREAM & h4rdy Remix' masterfully merges smooth R&B and hip-hop textures with a hard-hitting UK edge, building emotional crescendos that lead into explosive drops. DPR ARTIC's version playfully twists the original vocals and lyrics, transforming it into a high-energy track with driving momentum, balancing vibrant beats with darker undertones.

This remix project builds upon the landmark achievement of 'Armageddon,' released on September 5. The album achieved over 1.11 million pre-orders, solidifying aespa's status as a seven-time consecutive million-seller. It also soared into the Top 10 on iTunes charts in 29 regions worldwide, claimed the No. 1 spot on China's QQ Music album and video charts, and earned a Platinum certification for surpassing one million yuan in sales, among numerous other accolades.

With 'Armageddon (Remixes),' aespa is extending the album's impressive legacy, offering a bold fusion of K-pop and EDM designed to captivate and resonate with a global audience.
