Stream: M83 – Midnight City (Big Black Delta Remix)

First official remix unveiled...

M83 are giving away the first official remix of their new single ‘Midnight City’ by Big Black Delta.

Led by Anthony Gonzalez, M83 have produced some wonderfully ambitious material. Yet even by their high standards, new album ‘Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming’ is a complex, deeply involving work.

Constructed in the United States, the new LP is a lavish double album. Containing a raft of guest stars and new collaborations, M83 have already confirmed an appearance from Zola Jesus.

Due for release on October 17th, M83 have teased fans with a number of previews from ‘Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming’.

Now the band have dropped the first official remix from the record. Lead single ‘Midnight City’ has been re-worked by Big Black Delta, an alter ego for Venezuela born producer Jonathan Bates.

Formerly of the Los Angeles band Mellowdrone, Bates has worked as a touring guitarist with M83. The ethos for Big Black Delta is apparently a “desire to create a new kind of pop music. By purposefully doing everything slightly wrong in the studio, using any instrument available, and combining it with UFO folklore.”

Meanwhile, M83 have confirmed a one off show in London’s Heaven venue on December 1st. Tickets went on sale last month and quickly sold out as fans attempted to get a glimpse of the new album.

M83 are set to release ‘Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming’ on October 17th.
