Juno Records releases exclusive remixes by Dimitri from Paris and Lindstrom
November 07, 2007
Nov 08, 2007 -- /prbuzz/ --Dimitri From Paris (winner of Mixmag Album of the Year for Sacrebleu and Grammy award nominee) takes Burnin’ Up and re invents it with 2 stunning remixes. The track became an instant underground club classic in 1981, especially in Chicago and New York, where it was a favourite of Larry Levan at the legendary Paradise Garage. This version is remixed using all of the original production, but with extra elements to bring it up date.

“Burnin Up had that electronic drive that was quite new at the time, the familiar Disco beat and most of all, that relentless rhythm piano pattern that went on to become a house music landmark”. - Dimitri From Paris

Hans Peter Lindstrom (remixer for Franz Ferdinand, LCD Soundsystem, Juan Maclean and 2007 winner of the Spellemansprisen – the Norwegian equivalent of the Grammy), remixes Just An Illusion. A top 10 chart hit in 1982, it has been a staple on radio stations and compilations ever since. Lindstrom has used only the original parts, yet the track still bears his own hallmark ‘space disco’ style.

“(Just An Illusion) is one of those classic 80´s pop tracks that everybody knows….I did this remix much in the "traditional" way that they used to do. Nothing is added to the existing production”. - Lindstrom

Just An Illusion/Burnin Up is the fourth in Juno’s series of "10" releases of classic dance music tracks remixed by leading contemporary producers, commissioned by Juno Records to celebrate 10 years in dance music as the world's largest online dance music store.
