Danny Tenaglia And R3hab Team Up With Ono To Reinvent 'Walking On Thin Ice'

Following a decade of dancefloor domination as her alter-ego ONO, Yoko Onocomes full circle with the release of brand new remixes of her landmark 1981 classic "WALKING ON THIN ICE" from Grammy-nominated house musiclegend DANNY TENAGLIA and Dutch EDM heavyweight R3HAB.



In 2003, MIND TRAIN and TWISTED RECORDS took this song to the top of the Billboard Club chart kicking off ONO'S streak of 10 #1 BILLBOARD HOT DANCE CLUB PLAY chart-topping club hits, including "HOLD ME", "TALKING TO THE UNIVERSE", "MOVE ON FAST", "I'M NOT GETTING ENOUGH", "NO NO NO" and "EVERYMAN / EVERYWOMAN".



Ten years on, ONO revisits "WALKING ON THIN ICE" and teams up with DANNY TENAGLIA and R3HAB to reinvent the timeless anthem giving it a modern retrofit melding the classic with the contemporary - old school and new school - with blistering results.



TENAGLIA, whose studio output since the start of the 21st century has been greatly limited, dusted off his studio chops to deliver an incendiary rework of the classic cut. His first remix in nearly a decade, Danny comes out swinging with an epic masterpiece with all the hallmarks of his best work. In an era of A.D.D., Danny reminds us of the glory of a mind-twisting, continually unfolding 10+ minute journey into sound.



R3HAB has firmly established himself in the Dutch dance scene alongside Chuckie and Afrojack. With his crisp, high-octane productions, R3HAB's become one of the most highly sought-after EDM A-listers with a discography that includes remixes for artists like LADY GAGA, MADONNA, LMFAO, JENNIFER LOPEZ, CALVIN HARRIS, KASKADE, FAR EAST MOVEMENT, PITBULL, DAVID GUETTA, and KATY PERRY.



Originally recorded during the 'Double Fantasy' recording sessions with John Lennon, "WALKING ON THIN ICE" would be the last recording by John and Yoko -- recorded on that fateful night of December 8, 1980. Released in the early months of 1981, the pioneering electronic-injected dance / post-disco / nu-wave hybrid would become ONO's definitive masterstroke and, easily one of her most accessible, best-known and well-regarded works, brilliantly capturing the kinetic pulse, tension, gritty nihilism and urban cool that defined the times then, and, in an acknowledgement to its timeless insights, continues to define them now.



The slightest of glances at today's world makes it clear that we're WALKING ON THIN ICE 2013. TENAGLIA and R3HAB get it, and nailed it.

Charli Xcx Confirmed To Support Paramore On Their UK Arena Tour September 2013

21-year-old Charlotte Aitchison aka Charli XCX is pleased to announce that she'll be supporting US rock trio Paramore on their upcoming UK arena headline tour in September, which will include two dates at London's Wembley Arena. Unfortunately, this means that Charli has had to postpone her upcoming US September headline tour until October/November.



Charli commented: "I'm very happy to have been asked to support Paramore on their UK tour. I've never really done shows in the UK outside of London before so it's going to be something different and kind of scary for me. Of course I am really, truly so so sorry to everyone who got tickets to my US shows, as now I will have to reschedule those dates and I hate the fact that I will have let lots of people down. It's weird, I always feel strangely at home when I play shows in America and the fans I have out there are literally the best, most killer fans in the world. I'm upset that you guys are going to be disappointed and annoyed at me, as I really did have big things planned for this tour, so it's very sad. I'm working really hard to reschedule the dates right now and all I can promise you is that the shows will be even bigger and better than anything I've ever done before."
