"We are very excited to announce a series of special GT releases which we've been scheming for quite some time now. Those who have been following us for a while know that we've always been interested in remixes, but to date we've only released a few GT remixes on a few tour-only CDs.

We've wanted to do something grander and more "official" for a long time, so we're proud to say that we've finally assembled a very massive, very official remix project. We reached out to lots of musicians who we admire and overall we've been completely overwhelmed at their willingness to participate in this massive, awesome project. More importantly, the remixes are sounding pretty mind-blowing so far...we're excited to share them with you."

The 12" colored vinyl will be made available from each of the respective record companies in coming months, beginning with Temporary Residence.

In the spirit of remixes, for which we don't have particularly strong feelings one way or another, here's Philadelphia electro-band Pony Pants remixed by Genghis Tron themselves:
