Bingkai Karya – The Indonesian music industry once again presents an exciting collaboration that produces two different worlds. Winky Wiryawan, a pioneering figure and tastemaker in the development of electronic music in the country, has officially released an official remix of “Serana”, originally performed by the alternative band For Revenge.
This collaboration marks cross-genre and cross-generational meeting that not only expands the musical spectrum of both parties, but also demonstrates how a strong piece of work can thrive through new interpretations without losing its original identity. The remix stands as proof that the boundaries between alternative and electronic music are becoming increasingly fluid in the modern music era.
“Serana” is slightly known as a song with deep emotional resonance and a strong listener base. It has become an anthem for many young people who feel represented by its lyrics. In the hands of Winky Wiryawan, “Serana” is more than just a remix, it is a reinterpreted with a fresh musical approach that aligns with today’s electronic culture.
This collaboration reflects a dialogue across generations. On one hand, it carries the emotional and poetic roots of alternative music, while on the other, it brings a wealth of experience from the world of electronic and dance culture. The result is a piece that speaks to two audiences at once, loyal listeners of For Revenge and electronic music bands, who have long followed Winky’s journey.
More than just the remix, this project is tribute to the strength of the original song while also serving as a creative exploration that opens new possibilities within the Indonesian music industry.
The idea for the remix began with a special set that Winky prepared for his performance at the PestaPora festival. In that set, Winky introduced several edited versions of songs by Indonesian bands, including For Revenge. It was stirring this moment that he truly collected with “Serana”. There was something about the song that felt different and held a unique space in his heart. Its strong emotion, deep atmosphere, and distinctive melodic character made it feel like it had the potential to be translated into an electronic language without losing its identity.
As if the universe aligned, the response from his close friends and colleagues further strengthened that belief. Many felt that the edited version played during the set had a strong appeal and deserved to be officially released. From there, the initiative to collaborate and bring this project to life began.
This remix is not merely about changing the tempo, but about rebuilding the song’s atmosphere so it can exist in a different space, from a personal, intimate setting to a broader, more collective one.
“There’s something magical about “Serana”. The song has a depth that not every piece possesses. I felt a personal connection to it, and when the opportunity to release this official remix came, I saw it as a great honor. I wanted this version to carry the same feeling, just within a different space,” said Winky Wiryawan.
“Serana – Winky Wiryawan Remix” will be available on all digital streaming platforms starting March 6, 2026, and is set to bring a new color to the song’s journey while expanding its reach into the electronic and live performance scene.
This collaboration proves that music knows no boundaries, neither in genre nor generation. The meeting between For Revenge’s signature emotional depth and Winky Wiryawan’s extensive experience in the electronic scene results in a fresh, relevant interpretation that still honors the original work.
“Serana – Winky Wiryawan Remix” is not just a remix, but a celebration of a song’s ability to evolve and find new life within the ever-changing landscape of Indonesia’s music industry.
