Ironic Sweden have released a new version of ‘Get It Right’, reworked by UK producer and vocalist Sophie Rae, via Town & Towers Records. The synthpop and electropop duo’s “Get It Right (Sophie Rae Remix)” keeps the original’s electronic core while moving the track toward a club-oriented, deep-house-leaning arrangement.

Sophie Rae, credited as an independent producer and vocalist whose work combines electronic production with her own vocal performances, built the remix around new rhythms and layered vocal dynamics. Ironic Sweden described the result as a way to give the song “new life, new meaning and expression.”

“Get It Right (Sophie Rae Remix)” is available to stream on major digital platforms via Town & Towers Records.

Ironic Sweden’s recent single run

Side-Line has tracked Ironic Sweden’s run of singles through Town & Towers Records: the band offered a double single via the label in March 2024 and followed it with ‘Media Whore’ in March 2025. The Sophie Rae remix of “Get It Right” extends that chronology with the act’s first outside remix collaboration documented on Side-Line.

About Ironic Sweden

Ironic Sweden is a Swedish synthpop and electropop act released through Town & Towers Records, the Gentofte, Denmark-based label run by Stig Wintendorff. The band’s Side-Line history begins with a double-single release via the label in March 2024, followed by the single and video “Media Whore” in March 2025.

With “Get It Right (Sophie Rae Remix),” Ironic Sweden hand the song to an outside collaborator for the first time in its documented release history, pairing the group’s electronic songwriting with Sophie Rae’s production and vocal work for a club-focused reinterpretation of the original track.

Ironic Sweden, the Swedish synthpop and darkwave duo built around producer Dan Ritzen, release “Walk With Angels” on 21 August 2026 through the Danish label Town And Towers Records. The single comes with two remixes and an official video, which premieres on the label’s YouTube channel at midnight Swedish time the same day. It is a song about dying, written in the first person, and Ritzen says he wrote it as an account of how he expects to meet that moment.

Ritzen puts the subject plainly rather than at a distance: “A song from the heart. About a subject we rarely talk about. Our own death. I wanted to create a song, where I could explain how I think, I will react on that day. When it’s time for me to go. And tell the people that I’ve done all I wanted to do in my life, so now I can go in peace.”

Inside the lyrics of ‘Walk With Angels’

The track sets a hypnotic electronic pulse under melancholic melodies, and the words work through a set of borrowed death images: a dealer handing over a dead man’s hand, coins put aside for the ferryman, a compass needle that no longer points north. The chorus – “Walk with angels / They’ll guide me tonight / I’m leaving earth now without a strife” – reads as acceptance rather than protest. The angels themselves turn out to be less consoling than the chorus suggests. In the final verse they arrive with broken wings and flaming swords, crying, pointing at the narrator.

The single is a pre-save at the moment and lands on Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Amazon Music, SoundCloud and Tidal on the 21st. It is not on Bandcamp, where Ironic Sweden hosts the rest of its catalogue. The two remixes have been serviced to radio, but neither the remixers nor a separate remix release has been announced.

About Ironic Sweden

Dan Ritzen started making electronic music in Sweden in the late 1990s as Obscene Inside, working with Fredrik Hansson on an Atari 1040ST and a Yamaha CS1X until Hansson left after about a year. The project became Ironic in the mid-2000s and put out a self-titled EP in a very small run, then took its current name in 2010. The debut EP “Player” followed in December 2017 in an edition of a hundred CDs and records, and remixes of it appeared the following April.

Singles and EPs came steadily from there: “King” in October 2018, “Dansmusik” in May 2019, “Pictures” that November, “Dina drömmar” in October 2020, “Universe Friend” in April 2021 and “When I Cry” that October, then the album “Icu” in October 2022. In mid-2023 Ritzen expanded the act into a trio with vocalist Stefan Kauppila Johansson and singer Tezz Markström, and the album “Evolution” arrived on 11 November 2023.

Ironic Sweden signed to Town And Towers Records in December 2023, and Side-Line covered the first release under that deal, the double single “Lost Eden” and “Media Whore”, on 22 March 2024. Both sides were produced by Callum Melville, who works as Calibeats; he and his brother Luke later remixed “Media Whore” for a March 2025 release. Markström left in April 2025, and the act has run as a duo since, drawing in guest vocalists on individual tracks – Camila on “My Ego” and Monica on “The Light”, both released on 7 November 2025. “A Night In July” closed 2025 and “Get It Right” followed in February 2026.

The band is based in Småland in south-east Sweden and records in a caravan using Logic Pro X, with a sound palette that runs from synthesisers and drum pads through to scrap metal and animal bones. Town And Towers Records, run by Stig Wintendorff out of Gentofte in Denmark, is a member of the Danish independent labels association DUP and works across darkwave, synthpop, italo disco and electropop; Oui Plastique is next on its release schedule, on 4 September.

“Walk With Angels” is the first Ironic Sweden single since “Get It Right” in February 2026.

About Ironic Sweden

Dan began his music journey in the late ’90s with Fredrik Hansson, forming a short-lived project called Obscene Inside. It was more playful than serious – no full tracks, no gigs, just music fragments created with an Atari 1040ST and a Yamaha CS1X. After a year, Fredrik left and Dan continued solo, DJing at small events.

In the mid-2000s, Dan renamed the project Ironic, releasing a self-titled EP in an extremely limited edition. By 2010, the name changed again to Ironic Sweden. He kept producing tracks over the years, though most remained unreleased – until the debut EP “Player” finally dropped in December 2017 on CD and vinyl, again in limited numbers.

Note that Dan has a unique approach to music production. He often records both music and vocals in a caravan, using Logic Pro X. His instruments range from synths and drum pads to scrap metal – and even animal bones.

In mid-2023, Ironic Sweden evolved into a trio with the addition of vocalists Stefan Kauppila Johansson and Tezz Markström.

Swedish electronic act, Ironic Sweden, presents a double single release today via the Danish label Town & Towers Records: “Lost Eden” and “Media Whore”.

Here’s what the band says about “About Lost Eden”: “We all want to find that true big love. Sometimes we think we found it, and then all of a sudden it’s gone. It’s only then we understand the importance of the unconditional love we all long for. It is a catchy synthpop song, that might remind you of the British electronic music group, The Beloved, best known for the 90’s singles “Sweet Harmony”, “Time After Time”, “Hello” and “Satellite”.”

And this is what they say about “Media Whore”: “How far are we willing to go to get likes and 15 minutes of fame. And when we finally get it, are we even aware of how long time it will take to recover or do we ever recover. This is a song in the more old fashion Ironic Sweden style. Some might think the song sounds like And One, spiced up with some Soft Cell notes…”

The two new singles were produced by the Melville brothers, more specific Callum Melville, aka Calibeats from the UK.

Dan Ritzen founded Ironic Sweden, later joined by Stefan Kauppila Johansson and Tezz Markström in 2023. They are signed to Town And Towers Records, where they released the album “Evolution”. Dan’s journey in the music industry began in the late 90s when he and Fredrik Hansson formed the band Obscene Inside. After Fredrik’s departure, Dan transitioned into DJing on an amateur basis. In the mid-2000s, he rebranded the project as “Ironic” and released a self-titled EP. In 2010, he changed the name to Ironic Sweden and produced numerous unreleased songs. The debut EP “Player” was released in December 2017 in a very limited edition on both CD and vinyl. Below is the trio’s first album, “Evolution”.

And this is the video for the track “I Believe You”.
