A few songs from ILLENIUM’s ODYSSEY era have connected with listeners as much as “Don’t Want Your Love.” With Ellie Goulding’s unmistakable vocals and ILLENIUM’s emotional production style, the track quickly became one of the defining releases of the album cycle while finding success on both radio and streaming platforms. Now, the song is entering a new chapter.
ILLENIUM has officially released “Don’t Want Your Love (RØZ Remix),” the first installment in a forthcoming remix series centered around the fan favorite track. The new version arrives courtesy of Mexican production duo RØZ, bringing their signature progressive house sound to one of the biggest songs from the ODYSSEY era. The release also comes at a pivotal moment for ILLENIUM as he prepares for the final installments of his groundbreaking Sphere residency in Las Vegas.

A New Take On One Of ODYSSEY’s Biggest Songs
Since its original release of “Don’t Want Your Love,” it has become one of the standout records from the ODYSSEY era. The collaboration with Ellie Goulding resonated with audiences worldwide and eventually climbed up to the top of both the Billboard Dance/Mix Show Airplay and Mediabase Dance Airplay charts. Those achievements helped solidify the track as the most successful single from the ODYSSEY campaign so far.
RØZ replaces portions of the original’s production with uplifting progressive house elements, creating a version designed for festival stages, club sets, and late-night dance floors. While the energy level shifts, Goulding’s vocals remain at the center of the experience, helping to preserve the track’s emotional core. For fans of both artists, the remix serves as an interesting blend of two distinct styles coming together around an already established hit.
Who Is RØZ?
While some listeners may be discovering RØZ for the first time through this remix, the Mexican duo has steadily built a reputation within the electronic music community through their melodic and progressive house productions. They are known for combining energetic builds with emotional songwriting. RØZ has developed a sound that naturally aligns with many of the qualities that have helped make ILLENIUM one of dance music’s biggest names.
That compatibility makes this remix feel like a natural fit. Instead of pulling the song in a completely different direction, RØZ enhances existing elements while introducing enough of its own identity to make the remix stand on its own. The result is a version offering listeners a fresh perspective on a song many have already spent months connecting with.
The Final Chapter Of The Sphere Run
The “Don’t Want Your Love (RØZ Remix) arrives just ahead of what will be a significant milestone in ILLENIUM’s career. On July 3rd and July 4th, ILLENIUM will return to The Sphere in Las Vegas for the final performances of ILLENIUM Presents ODYSSEY, bringing an end to one of the most ambitious live productions in electronic music. Since launching, the Sphere performances have generated widespread praise from fans, critics, and industry observers alike.
The combination of immersive visuals, cutting-edge technology, and ILLENIUM’s emotionally driven catalog has created an experience unlike anything else currently happening in dance music. The residency has also demonstrated how electronic artists continue pushing the boundaries of live performance. As venues become increasingly advanced and audience expectations continue to evolve, productions like ODYSSEY offer a glimpse into what the future of concert experiences may look like.
More Remixes On The Horizon
The arrival of “Don’t Want Your Love (RØZ Remix)” is only the beginning.
According to the announcement, the track is the first release in a larger remix series centered on the original song. While additional contributors have not yet been revealed, the approach suggests ILLENIUM plans to continue exploring new interpretations of one of ODYSSEY’s biggest records. For fans, that means there is likely much more to come in the weeks ahead.
In the meantime, the RØZ remix provides a fitting soundtrack as ILLENIUM prepares to close the book on his historic Sphere run. With two final performances scheduled for Fourth of July weekend and additional remixes on the horizon, the ODYSSEY era continues finding new ways to evolve even as one of its most memorable live experiences approaches its conclusion.
