TKOL RMX 1234567 is a remix album of songs from the album The King of Limbs (2011) by the English rock band Radiohead. It was released on 16 September 2011 in Japan and on 10 October 2011 internationally by XL Recordings and the band's imprint Ticker Tape Ltd. The album compiles a series of remix singles of King of Limbs songs by electronic music artists including Nathan Fake, Four Tet, Caribou, Modeselektor and SBTRKT. The album and singles were also released as MP3 and WAV downloads through Radiohead's website.
On 6 June 2011, Radiohead announced a series of remix singles from The King of Limbs by various artists. Radiohead drummer Phil Selway told BBC 6 Music he felt The King of Limbs was the Radiohead album that lent itself best to remixing. Singer Thom Yorke said:
The remix 12-inches came out of us wanting to experiment with the tunes further. I was really curious to see how the people I was listening to so much would use what we gave them. I didn't just want floor fillers and all that shit, I just wanted to see how the songs could really branch out and mutate. I love that there is such a culture of remixing at the moment, all this flow of ideas. It may come outta the club scene but to me there is a lot more to it than that. I think it appeals to us as a band at the moment that ideas and versions are not so fixed and set in stone, it feels kind of healthy for music.
The first seven remix singles were released as either double or triple A-sides on 12-inch vinyl singles through XL Recordings on Radiohead's Ticker Tape Ltd. imprint label, and are compiled on TKOL RMX 1234567. The eighth single, TKOL RMX8, was finished too late for inclusion on the album and was released as a download. A remix of "Bloom" by Jamie xx, previously released on the TKOL RMX8 single, was released as a vinyl single on 23 January 2012.
