Daniel Avery has remixed Happy Mondays classic track “Hallelujah” in the second in a series of digital remix drops which bridge the iconic band’s legacy with today’s electronic innovators.
Now one of the biggest names in electronic music, in his early career Daniel Avery was mentored by the late, great Andrew Weatherall, who, together with Paul Oakenfold, created the legendary 1989 Club Mix of “Hallelujah” which was pivotal in merging the indie and Acid House/rave music scenes. 36 years later, Avery brings the track firmly up to date, infusing “Hallelujah” with his identity, while retaining the character of the original club remix.
The Daniel Avery remix of “Hallelujah” will receive its radio premiere this morning on Lauren Laverne’s show on BBC Radio 6Music The second in the remix drop series, the Daniel Avery remix follows Oakenfold’s new “Step On” remix and there will be further remix drops in 2026 from Anna Prior, Mella Dee, The Reflex and Shadow Child.
The remix drops form part of a series of special releases to mark 40 years of the iconic Manchester band, which also includes the new compilation The Factory Singles, out December 5th on double CD, double LP & cassette, pre-order here.
The Factory Singles compiles all Happy Mondays singles on the legendary Manchester label Factory Records, including “Step On”, “Kinky Afro”, “Hallelujah” and “24-Hour Party People”. This definitive collection captures the band’s ground-breaking output from 1985 –1992, celebrating their pivotal role in shaping UK music culture. The Factory Singles will be available across multiple formats — including 2LP, 2CD, and a 1LP Blood Records Exclusive. The artwork has been conceived by Sublime Limbo (original Central Station team members Pat Carroll & Karen Jackson) alongside Sam Carroll – and features distinctive variations across each format. Vivid, enduring ink stains serve as a striking visual metaphor for the lasting imprint the band left on Manchester and the British music scene.
In March 2026, Happy Mondays will embark on a huge UK tour to celebrate 35 years of Pills ’N’ Thrills and Bellyaches, supported by original 1991 tour mates The Farm and Northside. Tickets on sale now here.
