Dancecore heroes Enter Shikari have released two remixes of their upcoming single Juggernauts, to publicise it’s 1st June release.

Frontman Rou Reynolds talks us through the remixes:

BLUE BEAR – TRUE TIGER REMIXhttp://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid17823878001?bctid=24014430001 

‘A Local label to us and good mates who we thought could give Juggers a tidy dubstep mix; and that’s exactly what they’ve done! They’ve kept the feel good vibe of the track which isn’t really heard much in the dubstep world but I think it really works and sounds gorgeous.’

 

NERO REMIX: http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid13590588001?bctid=24014432001

‘We’ve always really looked up to Nero as drum and bass producers, and felt they could do a great job with Juggers. He really accentuates the euphoria of the tune and rivals any big dance floor club banger with this!’

The St Albans boys’ new album Common Dreads is out on 15th June. An interview with the band will appear in the first issue of Fancore fanzine, which will be available on this site worldwide, and at various venues, record stockists and clubs across the UK.
