HISTORIC REMIX OF ELVIS PRESLEY'S BABY LET'S
PLAY HOUSE HAS EVERYONE TALKING
NEW REMIXED PRESLEY SONG BY A CONTEMPORARY
DJ/ARTIST IS RELEASED: SPANKOX (OF CLUB ANTHEM
TO THE CLUB FAME) BRINGS ELVIS' VOICE BACK TO
RADIOS AND CLUBS WORLDWIDE FOR THE THIRD TIME
AFTER CHART-TOPPERS A LITTLE LESS CONVERSATION
AND RUBBERNECKIN'
Recognized worldwide as one of the most
influential figures in music and pop culture,
Elvis Presley is today on the verge of another
career milestone, exactly 30 years after his
death. Presley's classic Baby Let's Play House,
re-mixed by progressive DJ/producer Spankox,
will be released in several territories as a
commercial single on the 10th of December.
Canada, Italy, Finland, Sweden and Norway will
be the first territories to release the single
and the reaction has been a mix of delight,
surprise and respect. In Germany, Austria,
Italy, France, Spain, Holland, Belgium and UK
the track is available from today as exclusive
download from the iTUNES store.
Spankox (his real name is Agostino Carollo) is a
Verona (Italy) based progressive
DJ/producer/composer who most recently wrote and
produced the club classic "To The Club" and has
produced and remixed tracks for Roxette, Snap!
and Vasco Rossi (Italy's n.1 rockstar) among the
others. This release of his treatment to the
Elvis classic marks the third time in history
that a Presley song that has been remixed by a
contemporary DJ/artist will be will mass market:
the first two, Rubberneckin' (remixed in 1998 by
American DJ Paul Oakenfols) and A Little Less
Conversation (remixed in 2003 by Dutch DJ JXL)
were worldwide hits, selling millions of copies.
"Initially, we're always wary of anything that
involves altering Elvis' master recordings in
any way, but this Spankox Re: Version is
fantastic and just blew us away. Elvis is a
great and constant source of inspiration for the
creativity of other artists, and this is an
outstanding example of that," said Tom Holzen,
President of EP Ltd.
"The Spankox Re:Version of Baby Let's Play House
will deliver Elvis to a new generation of music
fans in an unexpected, cool and compelling way,"
said Edward Johnson, Brand Partnership Marketing
Manager of ELPR Inc.
After the digital release, the physical release
of the record will be on CDvinyl: it's a special
compact disc playable in a normal CD player but
also by a traditional 33rpm turntable. The
packaging of this original Elvis Presley CDvinyl,
which is indeed a charming collectable item,
will also be very special and will resemble that
of a 12" vinyl. It will include a radio edit
version, an extended version and the original
Presley song. Also, as bonus, the ringtone and
the fantastic video clip (that can also be
already watched on YouTube) will be included in
the disc.
The United States release is tentatively set to
Dec. 24th, although negotiations are still in
process.
