Musical dreams do come true.

Swedish composer Hans Ek has revealed he will be translating some of the world's most seminal electronic songs into a 17-track orchestral compilation.

The collection will be aptly named 'Dance Music Symphony' and feature breathtaking productions that range from Deadmau5's 'Strobe' and Faithless' 'Insomnia' to Daft Punk's 'Aerodynamic' and Martin Garrix's 'Animals' and much more.

'Dance Music Symphony' will make its debut at this July's Bråvalla Festival in Sweden and be performed by the world renowned, 85-member Norrköping orchestra.
