As he frequently reminds us, Girl Talk mastermind Gregg Gillis is not a DJ. For him, it's all about the sly, relentless juxtaposition-- rather than the full-on manipulation-- of his source material.

Alexander "Sasha" Coe, on the other hand? Very much a DJ, and a veteran one at that. So when Sasha's long-awaited follow-up to acclaimed 2004 mix Involver lands this September, you know you're in for some unique renditions of some modern day classics.

Invol2ver descends on the world at large on September 9, thanks to Global Underground. The set packs in 13 Sasha re-workings of such gems as Ladytron's "Destroy Everything You Touch", Thom Yorke's "The Eraser", M83's very recent "Couleurs", and Apparat's very lovely "Arcadia". There's also, for some reason, a track featuring Ray LaMontagne.

Bonus! Folks who scoop up one of the first 10,000 copies of Invol2ver will get a bonus disc packing in some exclusive remixes, including a different take on Thom Yorke's "Eraser".
