'Helicopter' remix single released in the U.S. on 21.02.06
This 'Helicopter' remix single is the first in a series of 'Connect The Dots' releases where some of the world's most famous DJs and bands re-work a track by an established or upcoming artist on the indie rock scene.
It'll be released by Dim Mak Records on CD and high quality 12" inch vinyl on February 21st 2006. Both formats feature two brand new remixes:
'Helicopter' - Diplo Remix: M.I.A.'s DJ slows down the song, keeps the intro riff and adds a warm, bouncy synth backing to the original vocals.
'Helicopter' - Weird Science Remix, featuring vocals from Peaches: the Weird Science duo (Steve Aoki of Dim Mak and Blake Miller of Moving Units) give the track a funky 80's feel, complete with cowbell! Now there's an idea for the second album...!
The CD version also includes the Whitey remix (previously released on 'Silent Alarm Remixed') and the original album version of the track.

What political statement is that cover art making exactly? Just wondering...
Anyway, the remix with M.I.A.'s DJ sounds like it'll be good... a slowed down version of "Helicopter" could be interesting.

I don't think it's a political statement really! It's just showing where in the world Bloc Party, Diplo and Weird Science come from - hence the title of the series: 'Connect the Dots'
