Known for creating celebrated remixes for the likes of Blondie, Nine Inch Nails, Simian Disco Club, Bloc Party, Gang Of Four and more, Ladytron procured a few of their most admired remixers to retouch their current single.

Enlisting the talents of Tiësto, Punks Jump Up and newcomer NYCPARTYINFO, the EP offers three unique and classic takes on the track.  Punks Jump Up (Miike Snow, Crystal Castles, Lykke Li, Kele, Robyn) fashion a DIY style, providing a hypnotic, upbeat, disco/club rendition that stays true to general vibe of the original song.  Tiësto (Madonna, Kanye West, Muse, Delerium, Lady Gaga) delivers his authentic and credible voice to create an atmospheric, yet pulsating version that mixes house, trance and techno. Relative neophytes, NYCPARTYINFO transforms the track into a distinct, soulful subject best described as ‘technorganic haunted house.’

Formed in the summer of 1998, the members of Ladytron (Daniel Hunt, Helen Marnie, Mira Aroyo, Reuben Wu), have spent the last decade fashioning albums of deliriously buzzing, whip-smart music that have kept them ahead of the curve, apart from the fads and in a league of their own.  Currently, the band is hard at work on their as yet untitled fifth album—the follow-up to 2008’sVelocifero. In early Spring ’11, they’ll release decade-spanning ‘Best Of’ compilation;  ‘Ace Of Hz’ will appear on both albums. Stay tuned for more information on the release of the ‘Best Of’ in the coming weeks.
