re/works by Epidemic Sound completes its Swedish edition with Silvana Imam, Harrison First, and Stella Explorer

The third and final Swedish batch of re/works by Epidemic Sound brings together political rapper Silvana Imam, club producer Harrison First, and multi-instrumentalist Stella Explorer, closing the series' first edition with its most eclectic release yet and setting the direction for where re/works goes next.

Stockholm, Sweden, September 18, 2026 – Epidemic Sound, the world's leading soundtracking platform powering over 3.5 billion video views daily across TikTok and YouTube, today releases the third and final batch of the Swedish edition of re/works by Epidemic Sound, its global artist series inviting celebrated musicians to reimagine tracks from the company's wholly-owned catalog. This edition features Silvana Imam, in collaboration with producer Viggo Dyst, alongside Harrison First and Stella Explorer.
The 11 new tracks are available from today in Epidemic Sound's platform for creators and brands worldwide, and across all major streaming services.
The most eclectic edition yet

This batch is the most varied of the three. Silvana Imam has been one of Sweden's most important cultural voices since her debut in 2014, as a political rapper, multi-artist, and actress who has shaped both Swedish music and public conversation. Harrison First brings a different energy: born in New Jersey and now embedded in the current Stockholm club scene, he is a producer and DJ with a fast-growing reputation. Stella Explorer splits her time between Stockholm and London, working across indie alternative, art pop, and ambient dance as a producer, singer, multi-instrumentalist, and filmmaker.
Together, the three represent a wider set of influences than either previous batch, spanning rap, club music, and alternative pop. At a time when music creation is being reshaped by technology and AI, re/works by Epidemic Sound keeps human creativity at the center, positioning artists as the driving force behind global cultural moments.
Where re/works goes next

re/works by Epidemic Sound started in Sweden because Sweden has given the world more than its share of defining music. The idea, however, was never only Swedish. Human artistry has no borders, and the next chapter of the series takes that idea somewhere new.
"Silvana Imam, Harrison First, and Stella Explorer show how wide the Swedish sound has become, and how far it reaches," said Anna Rude, SVP of Music at Epidemic Sound. "These releases close the Swedish edition, but it also points to what comes next. Already in September we have more international re/works coming out. The idea behind it belongs everywhere."
re/works by Epidemic Sound debuted in 2026 with artists like Kerstin Ljungström, Kleerup and Jenny Wilson. Next re/works release is US-based Karriem Riggings, on September 25th followed by more international artists in 2027. 

Following the successful launches of initiatives like Extra Version and The Bridge, Epidemic Sound continues to invest in its catalog of over 55,000 tracks to provide brands and creators with world-class music.
