Über-producer du jour, Mark Ronson, best known for his work with Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen, will now turn his remixing and mixing talents to a live concert with Duran Duran in Paris this summer.

And, after that, he's off to work on producing the new Kaiser Chiefs record. I predict an indie riot!

Duran Duran and hot producer Mark Ronson will join forces on July 2 at Paris' La Cigale for a special concert collaboration.

Duran keyboardist Nick Rhodes tells Billboard.com that the group and Ronson (Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen, Christina Aguilera) will work on "a piece" for the Smirnoff Experience show that will incorporate songs from the group's latest album, "Red Carpet Massacre," and some of its older favorites, along with Ronson's "Version."

"He's going to do some remixing with them," Rhodes explains. "We're gonna remix in the studio first and see where we get to, then we're going to deconstruct them again and play them together, the different versions of these songs.

"It's very exciting. We can't what to see where it leads to."
