Swedish superstar Robyn has a knack for selecting interesting collaborators, including contributing vocals for a track by UK crooner Kindness and penning a song for heady concept producer Oneohtrix Point Never‘s score for the film Parisian. Now she’s tapped nine artists for a remix project that may be one of the biggest things to drop this summer.
RBN/RMX gathers producers to remix tracks from Robyn’s vast catalog, a roster that includes influential Chicago DJ The Black Madonna and French house duo Cassius. The project will make its debut at a series of live performances, beginning tonight in Boston, and continuing next week in New York and Toronto. A record of the remixes will be released “in the coming month.”

“Remixes make me listen to a song in a different way,” wrote Robyn on her website. “They stretch you out as a listener and leave space for other things that a pop song usually doesn’t. I hope to be able to share this experience with my audiences at Governor’s Ball, Boston Calling, and Field Trip over the next week and just dancing together…”
