Audio: Battles - White Electric (Shabazz Palaces Remix)
Battles are, without any pretence or hyperbole, one of only a handfull of current actual bands that are making new, pioneering music. Always on point with their remixes, from 2007’s Four Tet and The Field reworkings of live favourite Tonto, to this superb effort by one of our favourite artists of last year, Shabazz Palaces.
Taken from the 4 part Dross Glop remix project, which also features edits and reworkings from Kode9, The Alchemist, Gui Boratto and more, available via Warp Records on February 20th, here.

From their Gloss Drop album, featuring Gary Fucking Numan.
“For days we were searching for hangars, warehouses and big empty loft spaces. We got the opposite : it was incongruous, it was bloody exciting. We were going to shoot Battles in a rococo style lounge in The Hotel de Ville, the magnificent city hall and mayor’s office in the centre of Paris.”
