What is the electronic song Mon Mothma dances to in Andor Season 2 Episode 3?
The electronic dance song that plays in Andor Season 2 Episode 2 is a remixed version of “Niamos!” by composer Nicholas Britell from the first season.
While the official mix for the wedding has not been released yet, fans are already clamoring for this dance version of the song to be dropped as quickly as possible. The official YouTube video for the “Niamos! (Morlana Club Mix)” on Britell’s channel, which is a song that is heard on Morlana One in the first few scenes of the series, has commenters saying that they “need the Mothma wedding version of the song, ASAP” and that “the wedding version kills.”
There’s also a shorter but harder-hitting version called “Niamos! (Galaxy Mix)” that is heard while Cassian is on the planet Niamos that the song is named after.
Until the official wedding remix is released, the closest we’ve got to the dance song is a fan cover from film composer and YouTuber Jeremy Brauns, who quickly made a four-minute club mix after the episode aired.
Actress Genevieve O’Reilly, who plays Mon Mothma, has said that her dance in Episode 3 reflects “a physical chaos” and that her dancing is “not a revelry.” In a wedding speech earlier in the episode, her husband Perrin says that the way to overcome pain is to find moments of joy. And it seems that Mon Mothma is heeding that advice thoroughly.
