AVIRA Remixes Corren Cavini & downundr’s ‘Magic’ on Purified
Corren Cavini is back with ‘Magic‘, a new collaboration with vocalist downundr that now arrives with a club-focused remix from Canadian producer AVIRA. The release landed today via Purified Records.
The track follows a string of 2026 singles from Cavini including ‘Hopes and Fears’, ‘Lion’s Head’ and ‘Darkness Into Day’, continuing what’s shaping up to be a defining year for the producer. ‘Magic’ leans into the more emotive and restrained side of his sound rather than chasing peak-time energy.
The original version is led by downundr’s vocal, giving the songwriting room to breathe while still carrying the melodic movement that runs through Cavini’s catalogue. It’s worth noting that ‘Magic’ also marks the first release under the downundr name — a new project from New Zealand songwriter and vocalist Jeremy Redmore. Redmore’s résumé includes five studio albums, four New Zealand Music Awards, platinum sales and more than 30 million streams, built across rock and pop before his recent pivot toward electronic music.
AVIRA takes the remix duties, reshaping ‘Magic’ for the dancefloor by pushing the tempo and intensity up without stripping away the emotional weight of the original. The Canadian producer has previously worked alongside Armin van Buuren, Chicane, Yotto and Joris Voorn, and his trance-infused touch is evident here, turning the track into a driving, floor-filling rework suited to Purified’s melodic techno leanings.
2026 has been a breakout stretch for Cavini more broadly. He’s played shows across the US, Europe and Africa this year, expanding his footprint well beyond his usual circuit. He also launched his own event series, Common_Ground, debuting it at Amsterdam’s Het Sieraad — a venue he’s described as personally significant — where he played an immersive six-hour set.
The single’s artwork features a cascading waterfall shot by photographer Stephen Walker, echoing the sense of movement and release that both versions of ‘Magic’ are going for.
