When Billie
Ray Martin told Stephen Mallinder
she had just finished the job of selling out Cabaret Voltaire to disco, he burst out laughing. The legendary
head of famed electronic band Cabaret Voltaire saw no reason to stop her.
Instead, he agreed to deliver his first vocal performance in years on Billie’s
cover of the Cabs’ song ‘The Crackdown’. Produced by top Berlin tech-house act Maertini Broes, this production brings
Billie Ray Martin back to her cutting-edge house music roots. ....
....
Second in line to be out-discoed was the song 'Just
Fascination'. This time, the UK's finest nu-disco producer Lusty Zanzibar delivered the
production. The result is a no holds barred epic nu-disco fest.....
....
Remixes were delivered not only by Billie's 'Your Loving Arms' co-writer David Harrow (under his Oicho moniker),
but also by super-blog Audio Porn
Central's top remix team:....
....
Celebrity
Murder Party, Copycat, Divide and Create, Dunproofin, Flying White Dots, Phil
RetroSpector, Year Zero have all delivered something that goes beyond mere
remixing but have created stunning artistic reworks of the classic songs.....
....
Released on Billie's Disco Activisto label, which she has relaunched for this and all
future releases.....
....
Stephen Mallinder: "Billie and I
had been planning to work together for a number of years and now we finally did
it."
....
BRM: "I could never do
justice to the original songs but can have a damn good time trying."....
....
....
Note to editors:....
a reminder:
we're drowning in e mails about this so: hell's new album contains the track 'silver machine'. as we previously reported billie had recorded a vocal for this release. sadly the vocals were not used for the track (despite much excitement about them). information as to why this is and where they might appear in future has not been forthcoming and questions have been left unanswered but we do understand that a version with her vocals is planned. the vocals that are heard on the release ARE NOT BILLIE'S (apart from a whisper at the end).
we suggest you write to gigolo records or hell if you wish to obtain info as to when brm's recording might appear.
watch this space for daily uploads.
