Melt Motif remixing Behemouth by Thief
Melt Motif and Thief join forces again. Thief’s latest album Bleed, Memory landed this April — an excellent release, and a no-brainer for us to say yes when asked to remix one of its tracks. We instantly connected with Behemouth, reimagined it, messed it up, and added new vocals. So this is something more than a remix.
It’s not our first collaboration either. Remember the haunting Broken Floor from Particles. Death Objective? Thief remixed that one — a version that ended up more popular than the original and still ranks high on both our Spotify profiles.

Melt Motif unveils soundtrack for Erik Ferguson’s film PILGRIM
We’re proud to present the soundtrack for PILGRIM, a visually stunning film by renowned artist Erik Ferguson. The film is still in production, but a first glimpse is available now through a mesmerizing music video for the track Corridor.
Stepping away from conventional beats, we focused on creating textures and sonic moods to match the film’s evocative imagery.
“These tracks aren’t your typical club bangers,” says Kenneth Greve of Melt Motif. “We wanted to craft noise and non-conventional music that underlines the movie’s visual journey.” For a more familiar entry point, tracks like You Can Have My Soul and Corridor offer a taste of the project’s accessible side.

Erik Ferguson — known for Fantastic Fungi on Netflix and visuals for Gorillaz, St. Vincent, ZHU, and Rihanna’s MTV VMA performance — brings his visionary touch to PILGRIM, a film that promises to be a true feast for the senses.
