Besides making original music worthy of soundtracking a move to a misty forest, Qrion is among Japan’s best remixers right now thanks to her ability to find a new angle to an existing song without sacrificing the spirit of the untouched version in the process.

She takes it to a mysterious place…but the heart of the original “Peach Blossom” still beats clearly. Listen above.
