Riordan, Danny P And Caleb Laurenson Reimagine AlunaGeorge’s Classic Track “Best Be Believing”

June 19th, 2026 (New York, NY): Today, rising house DJ and producers Riordan, Danny P, and Caleb Laurenson team up with the multi-platinum duo AlunaGeorge, for a highly anticipated reimagination of “Best Be Believing” (Shadow Child Remix), now today via Safelight Records. The release sees the original track re-recorded with newly added vocals from Aluna, bringing a fresh dimension to the fan-favorite record. Anticipation for the track has been building since Riordan invited Aluna onstage as a surprise guest during his Yuma Tent set at Coachella earlier this year

Originally released in 2013 on AlunaGeorge’s acclaimed debut album Body Music, “Best Be Believing” cemented the duo as one of the defining voices of UK electronic-pop. The track took on a second life in 2014 when British DJ and producer Shadow Child reimagined it as a UK house anthem, transforming its experimental pop roots into a dancefloor staple while preserving Aluna’s unmistakable vocals. Now, Riordan, Danny P, and Caleb Laurenson deliver a fresh new take on the beloved record, breathing new life into the iconic track for a new generation of listeners.

The new track is infused with an undeniable bouncy energy, blending pulsating house grooves with heavy UK garage influence and adding a modern edge to the iconic original. Riordan’s genre-fluid style shines through as he weaves together house, tech house, garage, and breakbeat influences. Aluna’s soulful, anthemic vocals cut through the production, highlighted by her infectious refrain, “Best be believing,” a feel-good mantra of self-confidence.

ABOUT ALUNA:

Aluna originally got her start as one half of the beloved duo AlunaGeorge, achieving international renown with widespread acclaim, award nominations, major collaborations, and massive tours, but it wasn’t until later that she stepped truly into her power with her debut album Renaissance in 2020

via Mad Decent. Co-produced by Aluna alongside executive producer Lido, and featuring contributions from Princess Nokia, Jada Kingdom, SG Lewis, KAYTRANADA, Scott Storch, GRADES, Mr. Carmack and Rema, Renaissance represented the culmination of her journey of “a black girl in an all-white British suburb back in the day” to launching a rule-breaking revolution where rigid boundaries dissolve between culture, race, gender, and genre.

Beyond generating over 100 million streams, it garnered widespread tastemaker acclaim. Pitchfork noted, “The album showcases her curatorial skills…and her range,” while Clash raved, “Renaissance sees Aluna cementing herself as one of the most exciting artists around with this iconic offering that will inspire dance records for years to come.” Aluna further cemented herself as one of the most important curators and voices in dance music with her second full-length solo offering, MYCELiUM (Mad Decent) released July, 2023. NPR said, "With an emphasis on queer and/or Black artists from many different countries, she's built a powerful statement about claiming your power while still leaving space for others." Billboard observed, "[MYCELiUM] features creative, interconnected work…altogether forming a foundation of diversity that’s the core of Aluna’s mission."
