Radkey reveal the UNKLE
remix of “Romance Dawn”, UNKLE’s
first remix in four years. James Lavelle
(UNKLE) saw Radkey play their debut London show
at The Camden Barfly in summer 2013 and was immediately hooked on the band. “Having not done an UNKLE remix for some time, Radkey - “Romance Dawn”, seemed like the perfect track to
come back with. This band has endless energy and excitement and you can't buy
that shit!” Zane Lowe premiered the track on his BBC Radio1 show this week.
The remix was followed by an offer for Radkey to play the James Lavelle-curated
Meltdown festival in London along with
Chrissie Hynde, Neneh
Cherry, ESG, Mark Lanegan and more. Radkey are set to play the festival on June 17th.
