Ladies and gents, you may not know it just yet, but a script has just been flipped. You see, Animal Collective have been remixed plenty, but they themselves have never remixed anybody under their, er, collective title.

Ratatat, on the other hand, just love to take somebody else's track and do their thing to it; in fact, just the other day, we referred to them as "guitarlectro remix experts," a qualification we stand by. But now, Animal Collective have selected "Mirando" from Ratatat's forthcoming LP3 and done with it what they please. And-- voila-- out comes Animal Collective's first-ever remix, a "10 minute techno wonder," according to a press release.

But wait! There's more! It seems that YACHT, Zongamin, Copy, and E*Rock (aka Eric Mast, brother of Ratatat's Evan "E*Vax" Mast) have also promised remixes of various LP3 cuts, and we can all "expect to hear these soon."

No, we don't know when/how any of these remixes are going to be released. Sorry. But we do know that LP3 is due July 8 on XL, while the "Shiller"/"Mahalo" 7" is out now.
