Personal Trainer share White Denim remix of new single "Intangible"
Personal Trainer share an addictive and funked up White Denim remix of the track – click HERE to listen.
This is the first of four remixes to be released from an upcoming EP which will also feature remixes by Warmduscher, Simon Raymonde and Parker Fans.
Commenting on Personal Trainer and the remix James Petralli of White Denim says:
“I had the immense pleasure of seeing and hearing Personal Trainer for the first time at a familiar place during SXSW 2023. I arrived without any preconceived notions about the group, and the band blew me to bits within two tunes. My partner of over twenty years and I held hands in the back of a sweaty brick box, both of us eventually moved to tears by the group’s joyful and honest work. Through their music I again felt deeply connected to something within myself that I'm always risking leaving behind in every industry meeting or mind-numbing promotional obligation. That is the pure jubilation one can experience through experiencing or creating music with others. It is a great honour for me to be a small part of their creativity in offering my interpretation of their song ‘Intangible’. I hope that folks enjoy listening to it and I can't wait to see what Personal Trainer does in the coming years. They are a beautiful group.”

Personal Trainer self-released their debut LP Big Love Blanket towards the end of 2022. The album successfully harnessed the group's energy into 10 excitable, bright and bracing pop songs. Acclaim from Marc Riley, Mojo, Clash, DIY Mag and others followed. Support slots with BC Camplight in 2023 were joyfully received as was a recent tour for Independent Venues Week with The Klittens and Real Farmer.
Willem Smit is the epicentre of the band, which originated from impromptu and exhilarating live shows featuring ever-shifting members of different local bands sharing a bustling stage. The live line-up has solidified somewhat but Willem still welcomes the contrast with his recorded work: “When I make the record, it’s me calling the shots. But I can’t tell everyone exactly what to do every second when we’re on stage. There’s, like, shakers flying around or instruments being thrown all over the place, so I don’t have the capacity to control that. And that’s really exciting to me.”
