At the age of 93, Sir David Attenborough is taking a belated detour into dance music.

The broadcaster, who has brought the natural world into millions of homes, is seeking a DJ to remix a field recording he made in Bali 70 years ago.

He's asking them to turn the three-minute recording of sacred gamelan music into a club-worthy Ibiza anthem.

Sir David first recorded the melodies while searching for a Komodo dragon in his 1954 BBC TV series, Zoo Quest.

"The villagers play this concerted music with extraordinary precision and real zest," he recalled.

"So it is haunting music that you hear every night - or you did in those days, in the villages of Bali."

He now hopes that, by fusing the original recording with modern production, the indigenous music of Indonesia can be introduced to a new generation.
