Remixers we might expect on a Battles EP:

Four Tet? Sure. The Field? Why not?

DJ EMZ ft. Joell Ortiz? As in workmanlike Brooklyn MC Joell Ortiz? Come again?!

It's true. That is exactly how the guest list of Battles' forthcoming Tonto EP reads. Maybe since "Leyendecker", the track on which Ortiz appears, sounds like an alternate universe r&b song, it makes sense after all. Maybe?

Warp will release the Tonto EP on CD and 12" on November 6 in the U.S. Both come complete with an accompanying bonus DVD, featuring the "Tonto" and "Atlas" videos.

Battles play their next show on September 21 in Auckland, Australia, and they have added more dates to their fall tour since our last report. Surprise, surprise!
