"Wendy" (Remix) is a remix produced by Italian singer-songwriter Mao of the song "Wendy" by the Italian band Delta V, included on the remix album In fatti ostili RMX, released by Universal Music Italia on 31 July 2026.[1][2][3][4]
Background
The collaboration between Delta V and Mao is part of an ongoing artistic relationship developed over several years and reinforced through recurring live and studio interactions. During the tour supporting In fatti ostili, Mao served as opening act for the band, contributing to a renewed creative exchange that traces back to the 1990s Italian alternative music scene.[5]
Their artistic connection dates back to earlier collaborations, including Mao's contribution as lyricist and performer on "La mia cosa", featured on Delta V's album Psychobeat, as well as his appearance in the music video for "Il primo giorno del mondo", alongside Angela Baraldi and Garbo.
Composition and production
In this version, Mao reinterprets "Wendy" by reshaping its original structure into a more electronic and cinematic arrangement, characterised by an atmospheric and nocturnal sound. The remix preserves the core songwriting of Delta V while recontextualising it within a more abstract sonic framework aligned with Mao's artistic approach.
Project and release
"Wendy (Remix)" is part of In fatti ostili RMX, a collection of reinterpretations of the tracks from Delta V's album In fatti ostili, created by various artists and producers of the Italian alternative music scene. The album gathers remixes largely released in the preceding months: the remix of "Wendy", produced by Mao, is its only previously unreleased track and was issued simultaneously with the album on 31 July 2026. The music video was published on YouTube on the same day.[6]
Music video
The music video, directed by Nicolas Fransolet, a filmmaker originally from Brussels and based in Montreal, was filmed in Tokyo. It develops an urban and cinematic visual imagery, consistent with the aesthetic approach of the remix, which it reinforces visually.
