More than most noise bands, Los Angeles' HEALTH seem to be fond of music you can actually dance to. So much so that they've commissioned a bunch of their beat-addled friends to rejigger the songs from their debut album for a remix album.

That remix collection, titled HEALTH//DISCO, will be released by Lovepump United on May 13. Featuring remixes from Pictureplane, Pink Skull, CFCF, Acid Girls, Curses, Thrust Lab and others-- not to mention that great Crystal Castles take on "Crimewave"-- the band have apparently taken quite a bit of effort to make this no mere cash-grab but, rather, a stand-alone album worthy of front-to-back plays.

HEALTH/DISCO features an enhanced section called DISCO+ that includes remixes from Toxic Avenger, Nastique, Lovely Chords, Captain Ahab, and more.

Having recently wrapped a trek with Crystal Castles, HEALTH have big touring plans of their own, which find them in the States this month, and the UK and Europe well into June.
