New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ punkdafunk) After an overwhelming 600+ entries to Dragonette's Beatport remix contest, it only made sense to release their favorites; lest not all that good music go unheard. Fed Conti snatched the coveted prize, a release on the band's label. The under the radar, Europe-tromping dj/producer hit it big with this one. His Beatport winning single was named "Pick of the Week" by Billboard.com and debuted in the Beatport Top 100 Electro House chart.
"My Legs", a very cathartic and very relatable dilemma is the perfect soundtrack for anyone facing a night out. In the past they've used big name producers to re-work their self-described basement pop into pulsating nightclub anthems, but with this release they chose three relatively unknown producers with three distinct sounds. Milk N Cookies' rework Sobara's vocals with precision, while Eric Jadi reminds us that the foundation of all music is the piano. The full remix EP is out across all digital retailers August 6th.
To preview the EP, Milk N Cookies, did an exceptional job of blending the three mixes together to create a danceable whole. Download it here: https://bit.ly/12fRMYT (and feel free to post this and share)
The band will also be doing a "My Legs" Vine contest. The contest asks that fans get creative using Vine and hashtag their videos with #mylegs and mention @dragonette on for a chance to win a
Dragonette Bodyparts prize pack complete with vinyl, CDs and autographed merchandise.
Finally,
Dragonette wrap up support for their 2012 release "Bodyparts" with a run of dates in Canada this summer. Please note that all profits from merchandise sales on these shows will go to benefit victims of the Calgary area floods via The United Way Calgary.
