The Nights have been selected by RÜFÜS DU SOL as the winner of triple j Unearthed’s remix competition, and the Sydney-based electronic trio will open the final show of RÜFÜS DU SOL’s headline tour in Hobart, Tasmania.
 
Calling from the LA studio where they first wrote ‘New Sky’, RÜFÜS DU SOL said, “It was amazing and very humbling to receive over 500 remixes of ‘New Sky’. There is clearly a lot of talent in Australia right now, evidenced in how many strong ideas there were. What we loved about The Nights’ remix is that we could tell these guys had a singular vision for the track. Not only was it a nice melodic journey, the bonus was that it was also dance floor ready.”
 
The Nights gave ‘New Sky’ an immersive deep house treatment, turning it into a seven-minute long opus bursting with lush textures, melodies and phosphorescent tones.
As part of their prize, The Nights’ remix will receive airplay on triple j and triple j Unearthed, and they’ll perform at Hobart’s Regatta Grounds on Saturday 4 January, alongside RÜFÜS DU SOL and support acts Willaris .K and Lastlings.
 
This year’s finalists Kult Kyss, Lucalion, Tyson Kraft and Yvng Jalapeño each brought something spicy to their RÜFÜS DU SOL remix.
