Sister Janet Mead's 1970s Classic Hit 'The Lord's Prayer' Reimagined as a Dance Remix
du Monde Music, a label of the Timeless Music Company, proudly announces the release of a fresh, electrifying remix of the iconic 1970s hit The Lord’s Prayer by Sister Janet Mead. Reborn for the dance floor, this re-imagining pays homage to one of Australia’s most groundbreaking musical moments - now with a pulse designed for a new generation.
Sister Janet Mead was a nun from Adelaide, who pioneered the concept of ‘rock mass’ in South Australia. Upon its original release in 1973, her version of The Lord’s Prayer made international waves by blending sacred text with pop-rock sensibilities. The track became the first Australian recording to sell over one million copies in the United States, reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and even earned a Grammy nomination, but lost to Elvis Presley. With this release, du Monde Music brings that timeless message into the heart of contemporary dance music culture.
du Monde Music was originally founded in the early 1970s by pioneering Australian producer Martin Erdman, known for discovering and developing some of Australia’s most unique acts. Erdman’s du Monde label became a vital force in the evolution of the Australian music scene, known for its forward-thinking ethos and genre-crossing catalogue. Now revived under the umbrella of the Timeless Music Company, du Monde continues Erdman’s legacy of innovation - reimagining iconic tracks for new ears.
“We wanted to respect the spirit and history of the original while giving it a new life in today’s soundscape,” says DJ Hai-Dook, the creative force behind the remix. “There’s something deeply moving about spiritual themes set against a euphoric beat. It’s a sonic revival that connects past and present.”
The remix retains the signature vocal performance of Sister Janet Mead, blending her ethereal delivery with deep grooves, soaring synths, and a modern tempo that’s already drawing attention from club DJs and tastemakers around the world.
The track will be available on all major streaming platforms.
This release continues the Timeless Music Company’s mission to breathe new life into seminal works through respectful innovation and genre-spanning creativity.
