KICKING OFF A YEAR OF EVENTS, RELEASES, & GENERAL MAYHEM
Commemorating Delicious Vinyl's 20th Anniversary, DV Announces Release
of Tone-Loc + Peaches "Wild Thing" 20th Anniversary Version!
Some marriages are made in heaven. Some get consummated in a booty club. And
every once in a very great while... if you're lucky enough... you get both.
Exactly twenty years after the release of Tone-Loc's scandalous rap classic "Wild Thing" - then the fastest selling single in record industry history - Delicious Vinyl is proud to announce the release of a special duet version of "Wild Thing" featuring none other pioneering electro goddess Peaches. The question on everyone's mind of course, is who's gonna be wearing the pants in this partnership? Tone? Peaches? To which we can only say: What pants?
From the laboratory in her Berlin bunker, Peaches has created a sizzling, bass-laced track, updating the original Matt Dike/Mike Ross production for today's active lifestyles, and adding her own vocals to Tone-Loc's immortal rap. You'll have to hear it to believe it. And even then...
"Wild Thing" will be available in 12" vinyl format (via Traffic Distribution) on November 13. It's sure to be a must-have in the record bags of DJs and an essential download for groovers worldwide. In addition to the main version, the Fontana Distributed CD Maxi Single (like the 12") will include an instrumental version, an acapella, bonus beats, and a special beat box version of the track courtesy of Tez.
This new version of "Wild Thing" had its preview debut at a special party held on September '07 at the revered Tape Club in Berlin, Germany, hosted by Peaches herself. And make no mistake, this release is just the beginning of something very special. Over the next twelve months, Delicious Vinyl will release a full slate of the label's classic records re-imagined by artists including A-Trak, Diplo, Hot Chip, Spank Rock, Bonde Do Role, Ed Banger's Mr. Flash & DJ Medhi onto an unsuspecting public. Of course, that public still fondly remembers Delicious artists whose tunes will be featured, including The Pharcyde, Masta Ace, The Brand New Heavies, Def Jef, and Born Jamericans.
Each release will be available on CD Maxi Single, 12", and will have a special party in a different city to celebrate its release (Stay tuned for more dates and locations to be announced soon). The tracks will be collected on a special Delicious Reimagined full-length album slated for release in 2008.
