Listen: Shy Girls - Xhampagne feat. Antwon Remixes [Premiere]

A double premiere featuring Aussie guns Akouo and Nick Lynar..

US-based indie-R&B act Shy Girls have been copping a heap of attention lately, after a few of main man Dan Vidamar's bedroom recordings smashed the interwebs. Now, Vidmar rocks the summer festival circuit all while scoring widespread critical acclaim. So it's a pretty big deal when such a buzzworthy artist looks down under to two Australian producers to remix tracks from his debut mixtape. And, we're very flippin' proud to premiere both today two re-works of Xhampagne feat. Antwon:

The first is from Tasmanian production powerhouse Akouo, who anyone that reads Pilerats will know we're big fans of:

The second is Sydney producer Nick Lynar, who you may remember released a rad single in Too Dope, and is also part of one our favourite indie-tronic acts, Wolf Tide:

And Sydney kids can catch both acts in the flesh when they support Carmada in Sydney this weekend for their sold-out Oxford Art Factory shows.
