Recess Remix uses Suno AI to remix Singapore school anthems into viral hits
90+ remixes from Mandopop to K-pop, racking up 192k views per track
Deep Dive
A trio of creators — Matthew Lee, Yap Wei Zi and Sobbina Yap — run Recess Remix, a TikTok account that uses Suno AI and a custom prompt engine to reimagine Singapore school anthems into Mandopop, rock and K-pop styles. Since March, they've remixed over 90 songs from schools like Dunman High and Raffles Institution — the Dunman High remix hit over 192,400 views, while the Raffles Institution one surpassed 113,600 views. No monetisation. Goal: keep old anthems relevant for Gen Z.
