Overview
- Madonna and Charli XCX have issued the 'Afterhours' remix of Madonna’s single 'Danceteria,' with the new version available now via Warner and included on a limited CD single.
- Charli contributed fresh verses that namecheck figures from her scene, including A. G. Cook, SOPHIE, Le Couteau Jaune, and Myspace, and she publicly credited Madonna for paving the way.
- The CD single compiles the album version of 'Danceteria,' last month's Harry Romero remix, and the new Charli Afterhours Mix as a combined digital and physical release.
- The collaboration followed a short, playful social‑media exchange that was followed by on‑the‑ground friendly appearances and shared DJ sets, a sequence that fueled speculation the spat was staged for publicity.
- The song references the early‑1980s New York club Danceteria, interpolates Lou Reed’s 'Walk On The Wild Side,' and credits producers Andrew Watt, Cirkut, and Stuart Price, tying Madonna’s origin story to the remix’s contemporary production.
