If you haven’t noticed, we’re kind obsessed with Robyn around here. That’s even truer now that we know that the Swedish singer apparently likes to lounge in bed, fiddling with an Elektron SidStation. (What a coincidence, so do we! Robyn, did you read our Craiglist post or something? Call us, we’ll hang!)

‘Hang With Me’ will appear on ‘Body Talk Pt. 2’, the second part of Robyn’s 2010 trilogy of albums, due out the first week of September; the eight-track EP features production by Klas Åhlund, Kleerup, Diplo, and Savage Skulls (and features an unlikely cameo from Snoop Dogg).

If you just can’t wait that long for a Robyn fix, check out the remixes of her recent singles. Mylo and Sharooz deliver a dirty electro-disco rework of her defiant kiss-off anthem, ‘Don’t F*cking Tell Me What To Do’, while ‘Dancing on My Own’ gets spun in several different ways. Michael Woods turns it into a lighters-in-the-air progressive/trance anthem, Jakwob drops a flickering dubstep refix that’s also heavy on the trance influence, and French house ambassador Fred Falke brings us exactly the kind of big-room epic we’d expect. Kompakt’s Rex the Dog faithfully refines the original tune’s sparkling electro-pop, giving it just the right amount of bark and bite.

We’ll shortly be announcing the winners in Robyn’s ‘None of Dem’ remix contest, but you can still pick up the remix parts, if you’re interested in redesigning the Robyn/Royksopp collaboration for your own sets.

Several of the singles are, annoyingly, territory restricted, so make sure you select the right version based upon your location:

‘Don’t F*cking Tell Me What to Do’ feat. Mylo & Sharooz remix: Germany | rest of world

‘Dancing on My Own’ feat. Michael Woods, Jakwob, Fred Falke, Rex the Dog remixes: Germany | rest of world
