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 Very Best, consisting of the Swedish/French world music connoisseurs in London based production duo Radioclit along with Malawi born crooner Esau Mwamwaya, caused quite a stir amidst music fans all over the world with release of their “The Very Best mixtape” which featured Esau’s soothing and soulful vocals sung over a blend of well-known pop, dance, afro and indie tracks. The trio are now on the verge of releasing their debut album “Warm Heart Of Africa”, it’ll be out on Moshi Moshi/Cooperative Music (Green Owl in the US) September 2nd. To tide you over until then – yes, we know it’s going to be a long, hot summer – we just received an exclusive a track from the album. This groovy track; “Warm Heart Of Africa” (with guest vocals from Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig), is insanely good and will be perfect for your summer parties, in fact it’ll probably keep you bouncing all the way until September.
