Remix me baby - The Temper Trap

If you're anything like me (God, sorry if you are) you'll love a bit of remixing... especially when the remixed track features an artist with great vocals (and not some trashy-over-done-wanna-be-pop-artist-who's-been-auto-tuned : insert a number of names here).

Over very own The Temper Trap, who graced us with some of the best tracks from the last 24 months, Sweet Disposition and Love Lost just to name two of them, will be releasing a remixed version of their debut album, Conditions. The track listing features remixes by some if the biggest names in the business including Rollo & Sister Bliss (of Faithless) and Adam Freeland.

Note: you can visit their offiicial site and download a FREE track from Conditions Remixed here!

The album was released last month in the UK, and to be honest I wasn't sure if we were going to get the release here, but it seems we are. I don't have details on when as of yet, but will happily post online when I find out.

Sweet Disposition truly is a brilliant song and has been on heavy rotation in my music collection for some time now. It didn't help that when I saw these guys live, twice (Big Day Out 2010 and a separate show in August), they were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.

Let's see if they can lock Sweet Disposition remixed in my music collection another year or so...
