When Run Run Run were in the studio recording their May ’06 release of Endless Winter, the band collaborated with Marcus Brown, keyboardist/producer for the likes of Madonna and Richard Ashcroft, and now Brown’s sexy remix of “Song and Dance” will be featured on the Australian release of that album. The band offer a different remix on each version of the album they release (the U.S. one boasts an electro-pop snazz-up of Mazzy Star’s “Fade Into You”), and vocalist/guitarist Xander Smith told SPIN.com Brown’s British club-fueled remix “turns ‘Song and Dance’ upside down.” “[Brown] changed the rhythm section so it’s got a heavy dub, Fat Boy Slim-vibe to it,” Smith said, which makes sense considering Brown was in the studio with Madonna when he started tinkering with Run Run Run’s songs. “Naturally [the track] takes on a dancey, electronic vibe. It’s almost like a Madonna b-sides!”
