Weird Together is one of the most globally-minded electronic music projects to emerge from the South Pacific in recent times. Helmed by New Zealand radio host/DJ/music connoisseur Nick Dwyer and legendary Auckland-based producer DJ Dick "Magik" Johnson, the pair experimented with music that Nick collected while fronting the National Geographic series about global music culture — Making Tracks. Ethiopian jazz records, contemporary club from Ghana’s streets of Accra, plus dance music from the Caribbean and South America found their way into the studio and Weird Together was born.
 
The band has earned reputable co-signs from a number of the finest purveyors of new global rhythms such as DJ Nickodemus and Daniel Haaksman. British DJ/producer Miles Cleret signed Weird Together to his London-based Soundway Records label to release their debut EP and remix EP in 2015. The group also caught the attention of Jillionaire from Major Lazer, which prompted him to sign the band to his label Feel Up Records.
 
Following the release of their acclaimed single Ready For This that garnered over one million streams upon its release, Weird Together has now announced their Ready For This Remix EP set for release on September 23rd via Feel Up Records.
 
In celebration, Weird Together reveal the Ready For This (Masayoshi Iimori Remix) withNest HQ and the official Ready For This video with All Things Go. Stay tuned for more!
