Notes:
DJ Hell is known for pulling together disparate corners of the music
universe, digging through history to pave a way forward, and the latest
Gigolo Records release is a shining case in point: Hell revisits new wave
vaudevillian (and fellow Bavarian) Klaus Nomi, now getting awoken thirty
years after his tragic premature death. But the song goes back further
than that. "Cold Song" was actually written by 17th century Baroque
composer Henry Purcell and poet John Dryden for their opera King Arthur.
Nomi recorded a version for his self-titled album from 1981--engineered
by electro pioneer Man Parrish--and it was also the last piece he
performed publicly during his lifetime. The 2013 Remake adds a totally
new dimension to the original, tailored unapologetically for the
dancefloor with an Italo-disco edge. Augmented by crisp, icy arpeggiation
to contrast Klaus Nomi's warm, glowing voice, "Cold Song" now offers a
completely different type of intensity, more kinetic than sublime. On the
flip side, the DJ Hell Remix re-envisions the piece as a house track,
with African polyrhythms and synthetic bleeps dancing around Nomi's sky-
high countertenor. Two interpretations that differ as drastically from
one another as they do from the operatic original. Watch for the
forthcoming remixes from Hrdvision and DJ QQ as well!
