Remixes and covers

Much of the early hype around the band focused on their cover versions of popular hip hip and electronica songs which populated their first two studio albums and live records, released in 2011 and 2012. Since that time, the group has produced official covers/remixes (sometimes billed as 'reinterpretations') for other artists across genres and have occasionally released covers as bonus tracks or singles for special projects.
