The label is like a big community, so any time one artist on that label has a single, they'll ask other artists on the label to do the remix. How does that work?Īlex: The record label we're on in Europe,, has quite a lot of dance music and remix artists.

Kevin: We'd love Daft Punk to remix a song.Īlisa: You also remix other songs as well. That's part of our single campaigns.Īlisa: Do you have a fat Rolodex of impressive people you'd like to remix your songs?Īlex: Some are more realistic than others. It's really nice to have a load of different remixes. We love to have on our single releases because we usually do few formats, like CD and vinyl. We just got in touch with them and asked them. Was that sort of amazing that you looked online and saw that people were remixing your record?Īlex Trimble: We asked them to do it! Everytime we did a single, we wrote a list of people that we'd like to do a remix. They'll be playing Glastonbury on June 24 and 25 and have a slew of European, Japanese and Australian festivals to attend, but happily they're slated to return to New York on October 21 to play Webster Hall:Īlisa Ali: Your single 'Something Good Can Work' was remixed by a lot of people, like The Twelves and Ted & Francis. Two Door Cinema Club will be staying overseas most of the summer. This time, they brought along Thompson to wonderful effect. Semantics? Well, the guys normally just use a laptop to create beats and loop them as they play and sing over them. In the past, Two Door Cinema Club didn't use a drummer but Alex oversaw the beats. I was surprised that there seemed to be an extra person in their crew Two Door Cinema Club, who met in grammar school, is a trio - vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist Alex Trimble, bassist/vocalist Kevin Baird and guitarist/vocalist Sam Halliday - but they've now recruited a drummer, Ben Thompson. We were so pleased that the band, who've toured with Phoenix in the past, had some time to stop by Studio A for a conversation and performance. They were chosen as one of our 2010 breakthrough bands and, at long last, their debut album, Tourist History, is finally out in the States on Glassnote Records and in the UK and Europe on Kitsuné. The Alternate Side has been keeping tabs on the Northern Irish band Two Door Cinema Club for a while.
