[Listen] araabMUZIK Remixes Tourmates Sleigh Bells, Releases Solo Track

Sleigh Bells' guitarist Derek Miller is all healed up after a skateboarding accident left him with an arm fracture, which tourmate araabMUZIK took as an opportunity to put together a congratualtory remix of their song "Never Say Die". The remix is a heavy dose of shredding guitar riffs and brash, pounding percussion, with the producer putting his MPC to work. Stream the remix below.

Along with the remix, araabMUZIK has let loose a brand new solo cut, a head rattling dubstep-infused hip-hop beat titled "Runaway Bass". Check it out below, and after the jump, you can check out dates for Sleigh Bells and araabMUZIK's current tour.

Early this morning we posted the Diplo remix of Sleigh Bells' Reign of Terror track, "Demons". Now comes the official video clip for the track. Directed by the band's very own Derek Miller with help from Gregory Kohn, it's a slo-mo filled live performance vid using footage from a host of dates on their US stint.

[Watch] Sleigh Bells - "Irreplaceable" (Beyonce Cover)

Last Friday I took a trip to see Sleigh Bells live at their Manchester date and even though I dig the sound they create on record it just didn't quite gel for me in a live setting. Their new album has been widely adored by fans and it's true that they have their moments. Saturday Night Live for example was pretty decent. But that said I just couldn't get into it at a large show. However, this little number they put in whilst in London seems pretty cool. They paid a visit to Zane Lowe's Radio One show and covered Beyoncé's "Irreplaceable". See what you think of their take on one of Beyoncé's biggest tracks below via The NJ Undeground.
