AUSTRA ANNOUNCE SPARKLE 12INCH, TOUR & POLARIS SHORT LIST NOMINATION

On the heels of Austra's critically acclaimed debut album, FEEL IT BREAK, comes the SPARKLE remix collection, out digitally on July 26th and on 12 inch vinyl August 23rd. Leading off Sparkle is a dark, pulsating remix of "Spellwork" from NY duo MNDR. Legendary producer Mark Pistel and one of DFA's newest artists, Planningtorock, finish off side A with stellar remixes of "Lose It.” Side B opens with a straight up peak hour, club ready remix of "Beat and the Pulse" by NYC's Still Going and rounding out the 12 inch are remixes of "Beat and The Pulse" by Dutch deep-house producer/DJ Steffi and Berlin's best kept secret, Kool Thing. The release also features bonus remixes by Norway's 120 Days, Canada's Young Galaxy and more Mark Pistel mixes.
