RUSSIAN RED RELEASES TODAY DIGITAL EP FEATURING FIVE “JOHN MICHAEL” REMIXES, COINCIDING WITH 'AGENT COOPER' RELEASE IN UK

After releasing 'John Michael' as the second single off Agent Cooper, Russian Red releases today a digital EP featuring five remixes of the song by different producers and musicians. It is owing to them that the elegant pop with 80's reminiscences song acquires new dimensions, sometimes electronic, hypnotic and many times dance, without losing its original hook.

The EP opening track is the version by Delorean, continuing with the works by Didi Gutman from Brazilian Girls, Thalab, Most-Hi and Eme DJ. Each of them brings their own particular style to John Michael, allowing the listener to explore the wide range of possibilities of one of the most brilliant songs in Russian Red's repertoire. All five remixes bring an up-to-date sense to this originally Pop song produced by Joe Chicarelli (The Stripes, The Strokes, Morrisey).

ABOUT THE REMIXERS

DELOREAN - Delorean is a band formed in Zarautz (Spain) in March 2000. It has become -by their own right- in one of the most exciting groups in the Spanish music scene and one of the most followed by international blogs. In 2009 they release the “Ayrton Senna” maxi, achieving an outstanding international attention, which led them to perform in NY, Paris, Stockholm, London and Addis Abeba, and also remixing Franz Ferdinand, The XX and John Talbot. They obtain international recognition in 2010 with their album 'Subiza', which was produced Chris Coady (CkCkCk, TV On The Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, etc). Only in 2010 they toured five times around US. The band also performs around Europe, the Americas, Asia and Oceania. Since then, and with a new album released, the band has continued touring around North America, Europe and Japan during 2013 and 2014.

THALAB – is formed by the Barcelona-based cousins Óscar and Max, a band who love organic sounds and minimalist echos. Thalab's musical voice is that of a unique up and coming breed of indie electronic bands that are surficing around the globe. Blessed with their onw technical abilities, the duo's combined vision is portraying a distinctively mature sound that captures a sweet balance of todays infused genres. With the right timescale and series of platforms, I truly believe that Thalab are capable of bid things. The term 'ones to watch' seems a fitting caption here as 2014/14 sees the Thalab project come into its own...

Most-Hi's no nonsense approach towards music stems straight from the underground. Whether they are working on hip-hop, Urban, EDM or Pop the production duo deliver their art with no qualms.
