Slinkee Minx Mark 21 Years of 'Summer Rain' with Anniversary Remix Releases
In 2004, Australian dance duo Slinkee Minx ignited dance floors worldwide with their euphoric rework of 'Summer Rain'. The track stormed the charts, debuting at #5 on the ARIA Singles Chart, holding #1 on the ARIA Dance Chart for 13 consecutive weeks, and topping the UK's DMC World Hard House and Pop Club Charts. Certified Gold in Australia and crowned the highest-selling Australian dance single of 2004, 'Summer Rain' quickly became one of the most defining club anthems of the 2000s, dominating Europe and the UK and earning a permanent place in dance music history.
Now, 21 years later, Slinkee Minx remain a rare force in dance music. Michelle Palmer and Annemarie Failla return to the track that launched Slinkee Minx onto the global stage with 'Summer Rain (21st Anniversary Edition)'. Featuring re-recorded vocals and a curated line-up of contemporary producers, this remix package re-imagines the classic through a modern electronic lens — introducing it to a new generation while honouring its unmistakable original energy.
Leading the release, acclaimed Australian house producer Mind Electric delivers a sleek, driving rework that pairs polished grooves with Slinkee Minx's iconic vocals. Rising duo Double Dipped dial up the intensity with a turbo-charged house remix built for peak-time sets and festival crowds. International club favourites Nick Jay & Jean Luc bring their signature progressive touch, layering euphoric builds with powerful drops, while Resonant Realms push the track into fresh territory with an Afro-house inspired interpretation that adds depth, soul and unexpected texture.
"'Summer Rain' wasn't just a song for us — it was the moment everything changed," says Michelle. "It launched our career, took us around the world and created a connection with fans that still exists today."
Annemarie adds, "That's what makes this anniversary release so meaningful. Twenty-one years on, the song still hits with the same emotion and energy. These new remixes give it an entirely new life."
Beyond 'Summer Rain', Slinkee Minx have built a formidable catalogue of club-ready anthems. Their debut album Electric Dreams delivered chart favourites 'Closer', 'Someday' and 'Way of Life'. In 2023, they received praise for their single 'I Can Feel U' as "a vibrant and energetic anthem, infused with driving rhythms, powerful vocals and a touch of nostalgia."
Their most recent release, 'Two of Hearts' (2025), spent five weeks in the UK Pop Club Charts, peaking at #6.
With 'Summer Rain (21st Anniversary Edition)', Slinkee Minx aren't simply revisiting a classic — they're reaffirming their place as one of Australia's most enduring female dance-pop acts. More than two decades on, 'Summer Rain' proves that truly iconic anthems don't age — they evolve.
