This EP is a 6-track collection of remixes taken from last year’s acclaimed debut album ‘Dance Party In The Balkans’ which features Zach Condon (Beirut) alongside other friends and label-mates.
Alaska In Winter started when Brandon Bethancourt spent an isolated winter recording music on a laptop in a tiny cabin out in the middle of nowhere Alaska. After returning to a little desert town in New Mexico called Albuquerque, he began to flesh out his Alaskan recordings with a little help from some childhood friends including Zach Condon (from the band Beirut) and Heather Trost (from A Hawk & A Hacksaw). The resulting record, ‘Dance Party In The Balkans’, was released by Regular Beat last year and this E.P. features 6 remixes from that album by Alaska In Winter, Doctor Vey, Young Dead and Coney Island Sound.

biography
Alaska In Winter came about when art student, Brandon Bethancourt spent a semester recording music in an isolated cabin on the south coast of Alaska. Upon arrival back in New Mexico, he teamed up with Zach Condon of Beirut, Heather Trost of A Hawk And A Hacksaw and other friends, and thus began work on the album 'Dance Party In The Balkans'. Bethancourt, the group’s songwriter, takes much of his influence from his early years of growing up in the American South West, immersed in the musical low-rider culture of Santa Fe, New Mexico, as well as a slight Arabian influence on the part of his parents and their Byzantine church music.
