U2 - ALWAYS HAD A DANCE ELEMENT IN THEIR MUSIC
Former Monkey Mafia mainman Jon Carter has remixed U2's new single,
muzikweekly
can exclusively reveal. 'Elevation' - the third single to be taken from the
band's 'All That You Can Leave Behind' album - is currently mooted for a
late
June / early July release. The mix came about after Carter was asked to DJ
at
the band's one-off London date at The Astoria earlier this year, and follows
a
series of high profile mixes for The Stereo MCs and The Manic Street
Preachers.
U2 have also given the seal of approval to dance producers Musique?s
re-vamped
version of 'New Year?s Day'.
Talking to the producers just prior to taking the stage for the first date
of
their US tour in Miami, Bono told the pair that the track "gives a really
good
feeling."
The track, which has been re-named 'New Year's Dub', was recorded by veteran
dance producers Moose and Nick Hanson. The pair, who are most well-known for
their Trainspotting-sampling track 'Choose Life' as PF Project, recorded the
track last September.
"I'm pushing 30, and was about 12 when the original record came out," said
Moose, talking exclusively to NME.COM. "It's an emblem of my youth, I
suppose.
It's such a classic track, and it's got such a massive riff that it seemed
almost rude not to"
The track itself is built around the Edge's guitar solo:"We've just spliced
up
'News Year's Day' into tiny little bits, then reconstructed bits of it,"
explained Moose. "It's basically the Edge's guitar with a preacher-type
vocal
over the top."
Bono expressed his admiration when introduced to the producers at their gig
in
Miami, which took place just as the Miami Winter Music Conference was
getting
started.
"The whole day was a bit weird," said Moose. "We had cameras following us
all
day, and were hanging out with Jeremy Healy and Norman Jay. We went over to
Fort
Lauderdale and went backstage to meet them - and we did just before they
went
onstage. Bono told us that the track 'gives a really good feeling'.
'New Year's Dub' is released on May 21 through Serious / Universal, and
comes
with mixes by Steve Lawler and Mauro Picotto, amongst others.
