  • About the remix Lisztomania (Nielflow Remix)

    Listomania is a cultural synonym for intense musical fanaticism.Lisztomania is the term for the unprecedented frenzy and hysteria among fans (mainly women) that accompanied the concerts of the Hungarian pianist Franz Liszt in the 1840s – the very first case of true modern-style celebrity hysteria in music history. The term was coined by Heinrich Heine in 1844, describing fainting spells, fights over locks of the artist’s hair, and pure crowd euphoria.

    Phoenix’s track “Lisztomania” (from the album *Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix*, 2009) is one of the biggest indie-pop anthems of the late 2000s, known for its instantly catchy chorus and light French vibe.

    In 2026, Nielflow delivers a completely new, fully electronic vision of this classic.

    He keeps Thomas Mars’ lead vocal, the original melodic line and exact tempo, but replaces Phoenix’s guitars with 100% synthetic, pulsating sound. Layered synthesizers, dynamic build-ups and chaotically overdriven, “dirty” distorted textures perfectly recreate the same feeling that once swept through 19th-century audiences – the rising, uncontrollable energy of musical frenzy and fan mania. In the very last second everything snaps back to crystal-clear calm – a sudden return to normality that feels like pure catharsis.

    This is a fresh electronic twist on an indie-pop classic, made for demanding indie-electronic listeners. The remix blends nostalgia with modern club energy while subtly nodding to Phoenix’s French heritage.
