Peter Wade and MNDR have remixed “Beautiful Clothes” a new song from Duran Duran side project TV Mania. The brainchild of Nick Rhodes and Duran guitarist Warren Cuccurullo, TV Mania will release an album recorded in the 90’s and subsequently lost in the vaults. Street date March 11.
From SPIN Magazine:
The idea behind Duran Duran keyboardist Nick Rhodes and the band’s former guitarist Warren Cuccurullo’s side project TV Mania was so prescient, it’s a little eerie: in the ’90s, the two began work on what they imagined to be the soundtrack to a television show about a family who traded their freedom for reality-TV fame. The concept will come to full fruition on March 11 with the release of their new album Bored with Prozac and the Internet?. “Beautiful Clothes” tracks how the daughter will do anything to get her name in lights, and we’ve got a remix of the track via the brilliant MNDR and Peter Wade right here. Here’s what Rhodes told us about it:
“I first met MNDR when she interviewed me a few years ago about analogue synthesizers, a passion we both share. She played me some of her demos which sounded particularly inspired, so I was thrilled to hear her finished album. We subsequently invited MNDR to open for us on our last U.S. tour, where I was able to catch a couple of her performances from side stage. She has a fantastic energy and some exquisite songs, so collaborating was a perfect collision. MNDR did a beautiful remix of ‘Beautiful Clothes’ for my TV Mania project with Warren Cuccurullo, minimalism at its best. In return, I made a very grand, lush remix of her divine song, ‘Feed Me Diamonds’… Opposites attract when there is a real purpose.”
After over 750 submissions, we’ve finally chosen a winner in the MNDR “Feed Me Diamonds” Remix competition. The winner is Val Cain from Los Angeles for his creative trap remix. The popular vote winners were Poppa Squats and Sten Ritterfeld.
MNDR also wanted to shout out the following remixers who had amazing and original takes on the song. Slaker Productions (intense dubstep with great edits), Molenaar (darkwave downtempo), Sasha Katana, John E. and Oliver Nelson.

In the words of SPIN Magazine:
“Metric’s Synthetica standout “Breathing Underwater” has enough stadium-rock anthem in its genetic makeup that our reviewer Josh Modell called it “the ass-kicking younger sister of ‘With or Without You.'” MNDR, the duo of Amanda Warner and Peter Wade, are steeped in the history of electronic dance music, as last year’s Feed Me Diamonds exhilaratingly illustrates. Now, via Life+Times, MNDR have remixed “Breathing Underwater,” chopping up Metric frontwoman Emily Haines’ no-bullshit vocals and putting them over percolating techno. When Metric’s arena rush meets MNDR’s EDM high, it’s fair to say the results are breathtaking.”
MNDR and RAC will be the guest DJ’s at the Private Label party next week. It all goes down at Lure in Hollywood Friday, February 15th. Check the flyer at the bottom for more info.
