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!
