Spooky, kooky and groovy—there’s a new remix of the theme song from Netflix’s runaway hit Wednesday for all fans of the macabre.

Thrashing along at a brisk 150 BPM, his psytrance-inspired take on the Wednesday theme doubles as a heart-pumping adrenaline rush to animate the most diehard fans of hard dance music. Many have likened the spine-tingling series’ theme to a compositional mashup of The Rolling Stones’ “Paint It Black” and the original theme music from The Addams Family. Flawx expertly intertwines the entangled melodies into the fabric of a high-energy electronic music framework with...
