Release Date: November 3, 2009
Dave Audé is definitely one of those
easy-going yet eccentric types. It is this unconventional combo that brings
such presence and personality to his music and has brought him acclaim from
both his fans and his contemporaries. There’s no pretentiousness or slickness
to Audé. He’ll tell you straight up “it’s about the music, it always is.”
Indeed it is.
....
Audé has sure made 2009 an exciting
one thus far – an un-precedented
41 #1 Billboard tracks (and counting), his Audacious Records imprint
introducing a myriad of fans to deliciously insane beats, serving as Music
Director for the 2009 Pussycat Dolls Tour, crafting music for the feature film
‘Nine’ and now Ultra 2010 – a 24-track double disc set of ferocious kick-ass beats.
....
....
As Ultra 2010 hits the shelves and
the Net, Audé hits the road, to some of his favorite cities like St. Louis and
Denver and to some of the greatest havens of dance music including New York and
Detroit. This new double disc incorporates Aude’s technical precision alongside
his amazing ear for excitable music. Some of the breathtaking tracks include NASA
feat Kanye West – ‘Gifted“ (Treasure Fingers Remix), Tiesto – “Feel It In My
Bones,” Haley – “This Is How It Goes” (Kaskade’s Grand Club Edit) and Britney
Spears – ‘If You Seek Amy,” as well as several of his very own chart-topping
remixes that include Pussycat Dolls – “When I Grow Up” and Lady Gaga –
“Pokerface.” ....
....
When digging a little deeper into
his inspiration, he states matter-of-factly, “I find that being on the road
keeps me connected, not only with the music, but with what really gets and
keeps people on the dance floor.” When looking over his career, it is clear
this philosophy has carried through all the way back to his humble roots. ....
....
From his early days doing double
duty; as a member of Lunatic Fringe and serving as in-house producer at seminal
Indie dance imprint, Moonshine Music, Audé developed his true sense of musical
style; not being pigeonholed. It is his love of the never-ending beat that
provides him the unique ability to experiment from anything like faster BPM to
more subtle nuances. "I’m always looking for a new sound or something
different,” he states. “I think I would get bored if I stuck with a
stereotypical ‘signature’ sound.” It is this flexibility that makes him so
popular with artists and fans – keeping us on our toes and on the dance floor. ....
....
Since he first emerged at Moonshine
in the ‘90s, Audé has run up an astonishing roster of hits—41 #1 Billboard
successes and counting—both under his own name (his 2007 chart-topper “Make It
Last,” featuring Jessica Sutta of Pussycat Dolls) and in service of other
artists, including U2, Beyoncé, Pussycat Dolls, Lady Gaga, Janet Jackson,
Coldplay, Britney Spears, Nelly Furtado, Donna Summer, Sean Kingston, and
Diddy.....
....
For everything Audé’s achieved, he
remains pretty grounded. It is abundantly apparent that he’s more about the
music than he is about living the high-flying, drama-filled life of a ‘rock
star’. “I give everything I’ve got when working on a project,” he states. “I
find that I am more at home in the studio.”....
....
As his success continues to build,
it’s Audé’s music that does the talking. His trajectory may be a little
non-traditional, but Audé wears it like a glove.....
