Refune Relaunches Label With swedm Remix of Reload

The label had remained inactive since the reissue of “Umbrella” in June 2020.

The Tech TL;DR:

• Refune returns from a multi-year hiatus following its last release in June 2020.
• The label’s comeback single is a faster trance adaptation of the 2012 hit “Reload.”
• The new remix arrives via swedm®, a project that took shape during studio sessions in late 2024.

Sebastian Ingrosso and Tommy Trash first released “Reload” as an instrumental track in 2012. A vocal version featuring John Martin followed a year later, climbing to third place on the UK singles chart, djmag.de reported. The anthem proved enduring among festival crowds when fans voted it into third place in the April 2026 Tomorrowland Top 1000, trailing only Avicii’s “Levels” and Swedish House Mafia’s “Don’t You Worry Child.”

The label initially offered few hints about its revival beyond a September announcement bearing the motto “Same Label.”

The updated version arrives via swedm®, a collaborative project that emerged in late 2024 during work on a Skrillex mixtape, according to djmag.de. Booking agencies and public announcements tie Varg²™ and jamesjamesjames to the core of the project. Production credits on other releases also point to Eurohead, Whitearmor, and Skarp, though specific contribution details for the “Reload” remix remain unreleased.

The new production pushes the original festival standard up to 138 beats per minute. That tempo adjustment fits the project’s broader aim of bridging early 2010s European dance music with modern, high-energy club sets, djmag.de reported.
