Light years ahead-of-the-curve, both musically and technologically, BT releases the hotly anticipated new single “THE EMERGENCY” from his critically acclaimed studio album, THESE HOPEFUL MACHINES (Nettwerk/Black Hole) on September 28th, 2010. Featuring BT’s own vocals, the single is a compelling and powerful pop song showcasing BT’s renowned production and recording skills. “THE EMERGENCY” is a bona fide hit, ascending rapidly up the radio and club charts.

Listen to "The Emergency" (Radio Edit):

BT - The Emergency (Radio Edit) by Nettwerk Albums

“THE EMERGENCY” EP contains 13 remixes, led by five separate edits by the hit-making producer, DAVE AUDÉ, and three edits by EDM golden child, MORGAN PAGE. The DAVE AUDÉ Remix takes the meat from the original and morphs it into a soaring composition characterized by a clean acoustic piano progression that mirrors the chorus, all the while keeping BT’s vocals front-and-center. The DAVE AUDÉ Radio and DAVE AUDÉ Mixshow edits are suited perfectly for commercial radio. The DAVE AUDÉ Club Dub accentuates the groove of the single, while the DAVE AUDÉ Dub further strips down the track to its bass-driven elements.

After months of anticipation, The Weepies' new album Be My Thrill is out today, and is currently sitting in the top five of the iTunes Top Albums chart, alongside Katy Perry, The Goo Goo Dolls and Mumford and Sons!
