The Very Best just finished storming across the US with a few much acclaimed live shows. They even managed to throw a Secousse party in New York, pitting NYC versus London.

Here are two new remixes by UK electronic trio Metronomy and Australian indie outfit Architecture In Helsinki of the title track (which leaked a few weeks ago and featured the vocal duties of Vampire Weekend singer Ezra Koenig) from their upcoming album “Warm Heart Of Africa”. Metronomy gives us a whole different take on the track replacing some vocals but incorporating a synthline and what sounds like a tweaked up sample of their single “Heartbreaker” with its strutty bass, meanwhile the Architecture In Helsinki crew focuses on the horns from the original to keep that warm and joyful feeling.

The Metronomy single “A Thing For Me” has been remixed en masse but none of the remixes have added such fast pace as this wild and ravey (donk?) number from Blackout Crew (we haven’t heard of them before but they sure grabbed our attention with this remix).

Check out the sweet remixes from Fontän, Mad Decent and Sinden.

Metronomy are about to release the second single off the “Nights Out” album. It’s called “A Thing For Me” (releasedate is December 15th) and thanks to Nile On we can give you this remix (the other remixes of the single comes courtesy of Mad Decent, Breakbot, Fontän, Nightmoves and Blackout Crew) from our old homie Sinden who turns the romantic electropop original to a more hectic and funked up club track.

We just posted the Mad Decent remix of the Metronomy track “A Thing For Me” that was made for the Bacardi/ B-Live project. We also got our hands on the remix by Swedish duo Fontän and they turn the track into what sounds like a drugged out progdisco jam.

British trio Metronomy are on the verge of releasing their second album “Nights Out” and they also have a bunch of other projects in the works. One of them is their involvement with the BAT Project, which is done in collaboration with Bacardi. The first release is “A Thing For Me” by Metronomy who contributed a track with the same name to a film commissioned by Bacardi to coincide with an event in Miami. The film was directed by Nima Nourizadeh (Flight Of The Conchords, Hot Chip, CSS) and it’s accompanied by remixes of the track from Mad Decent, Fontän, Friend and Breakbot.

The Mad Decent peeps gives the original version a shuffling, hazy sound that makes it kind of hard to dance to but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Norwegian nudisco producer and all around friendly guy Joachim Dyrdahl AKA Diskjokke remixes the newest single “Heartbreaker” (will be released September 1st) from UK popdance outfit Metronomy. While the original sounds a little something like this: “From its hallmark opening bassline, to the synth-heavy powerchords of the whistle-along chorus, there’s no straying from the fact that Metronomy’s future single ‘Heartbreaker’ is catchy as hell. It’s an electronic ode to male heartbreak that’ll both cut you to the quick and have you dancing all the way to the therapist’s chair.” Diskjokke instead stretches it out, slows it down, adds some quirky sounds and pitty patter synthlines to make it less pop and more disco, this will have us dancing away into the sunset.
