PHOENIX's 'Trying To Be Cool' has been remixed by some amazing artists since it's initial release. So far we've had WALTER SOBCEK and ANORAAK put their own twists on the poppy synth driven single, and boy they have been good ones.

PHOENIX must be pretty excited with all the brilliant adaptations that have been flooding in, just recently a third remix was added by the Frenchmen on their Soundcloud, and this one was produced by the one and only A-TRAK.

With 'Trying To Be Cool' already being a very uplifting track, A-TRAK has added a deeper house feel, turning the party anthem into a certified club burner. Atmospheric synths glide over the already bouncy beat and soon after a light break a heavier synth jumps in to slide alongside the catchy vocals that 'Trying To Be Cool' already has. A-TRAK has added a small hint of disco into the track as well, and it's pretty much all turned out to be a track that everyone will be listening too now.

“I’ve been a fan of Phoenix since their first album so I was really excited to take this one on,” A-Trak says. “I also love remixing a song that has a memorable vocal. I try to make a new song out of it. But theirs was already great … Hopefully people enjoy mine too."

Reading this quote you can see why A-TRAK chose this track to remix. It can also be downloaded for free.

A-TRAK is also about to embark on a world tour hopping between Europe and the US, he's a busy man and also very unpredictable so who knows what he's going to do next?
