Mr Overtime is a notoriously catchy, uplifting & utterly danceable ode to… well, paranoia, night time deviance & the foggy notion of slightly losing grip on reality.

Featured vocalist of Mr Overtime is none other than Dave1 of Chromeo fame. Dave1 heard the demo, declared the song “dope” and managed to get a moment away from Chromeo’s latest world tour to lend his golden voice to the song to amazing effect.

First up on the remixes is the very talented Mickey from Brussels who delivers big stabby synth chords, a driving 80’s disco bass line & a vibe that spells S.U.M.M.E.R. This remix was featured on one of Magician’s mix tapes & created a storm online – one of Mickey’s finest moments so far!

Next up is LA/Vancouver act Oliver, most lately famous for their Dirty Talk EP on Kitsune & countless great remixes. They bring a gloriously heavy touch to the original but without losing the melodies. Gigamesh brings a driving arpeggio bass line with a perfect beat & all the extra trimmings will make his remix blow up in any club at any given time. Also on the package is a Punks Jump Up Club Mix of Mr Overtime, giving the original a heavy disco work out!

Londoner Joe Attard & the Swede David Andersson are the two likeminded opposites that make up Punks Jump Up.

During the last 4 years they have released disco club smashes like Blockhead, Get Down (Special CCCrash Mixxx) & Dance To Our Disco on the Parisian label Kitsune & the anthemic Chimes pt 1 track on the kleinTanz label.

In addition to their own releases they have also done official remixes of everyone from Miike Snow, Lykke Li, Gossip, Robyn, Ladyhawke, Crystal Castles, Chromeo, Tiga to Joakim, Oliver, Ladytron, Yelle, In Flagranti, Housse De Racket, Supermen Lovers & Peter Bjorn & John.

Punks Jump Up feat. Dave 1: Mr Overtime will be out on 30th April 2012. See the video below:
