B DJ Hell feat. Bryan Ferry - U Can Dance (C arl Craig Remix V. 1)



INFO
It was only a matter of time. Two genre-defining artists together...pop music and dance music's most famous arbiters of taste, collaborating at last. DJ Hell's "U Can Dance" is an interpretation of an unreleased Bryan Ferry song, but it's one that reflects a p erfect melding of two distinct personalities, a record that sounds as if the voi ce and music were made for each other.

Hell, of course, has been ridi ng high on the success of Teufelswerk, his masterpiece of a double album, a jour ney replete with fruitful experiments and club bombs. One that has yielded both massive hits and not a tiny bit of controversy along the way. Ferry, meanwhile, has been as busy as ever—recording a new album, performing in places as fa r afield as Siberia, opening up the Cannes Film Festival...basically just being Bryan Ferry.

And now here they are together...It all started in 2006 when Hell dropped in to meet Ferry at his West London studio. At first they disc ussed Hell remixing an old Roxy Music track, and then it turned into something e lse - something new (U Can Dance).

They had similar impressions of on e another—Hell: "I was impressed by his aura and his look," Ferry: "He imp ressed us with his sophistication and charm." Fast forward a few years later, an d Hell is hard at work on Teufelswerk and putting the finishing touches on the a forementioned song titled "U Can Dance," a serpentine Moroder-esque disco burner . With the help of old friend Peter Kruder, of Kruder and Dorfmeister fame, Hell fashioned the song into a smoldering nine-minute highlight of the double disc s et, in which Ferry turns in a typically assured vocal performance.

F erry may seem like an unexpected fan of dance, but he's been going to clubs sinc e he was a teenager, and in his lengthy career he's worked with legends such as Nile Rodgers of Chic and David Williams from Michael Jackson's band. "It's alway s a pleasure to work with people from that genre, who follow a singular groove."

The single follows in the wake of Hell's "The DJ feat. P. Diddy" whi ch has won over floors and critics alike with its nearly 30-minute Radio Slave r emix and fine work from the likes of Deetron, Jay Haze and others. On "U Can Dan ce" Hell and Ferry have similarly pulled out all the stops for the remixes, gath ering up work from the Grammy-nominated producer Carl Craig, DFA mainstay Tim Go ldsworthy and pop electro superstars Simian Mobile Disco.
