DEEPSKY TAPPED FOR HIGH-PROFILE REMIXES FOR MADONNA AND DAVID BOWIE
DUO MAKE FIRST-EVER NEW YORK APPEARANCE AT S.O.B.’S
DURING CMJ MUSIC MARATHON OCTOBER 30
American electronic composing duo DEEPSKY have just remixed Madonna’s new single, “Die Another Day,” from the new James Bond film of the same name. At the same time, DEEPSKY have just completed the first dance music remix from David Bowie’s current album, Heathen, for the song “I Took A Trip On A Gemini Spaceship.”
DEEPSKY’s Madonna remix was part of the single package serviced to radio last week and will be available commercially with the release of the U.S. maxi-single on October 22. Meanwhile, Bowie’s label, Columbia Records, will be servicing “I Took A Trip On a Gemini Spaceship” to Billboard Club DJs and record pools this month. DEEPSKY–who are Jason Blum and J. Scott Giaquinta–join the prestigious list of highly acclaimed remixers who’ve added their touch to works by Madonna (Deep Dish, Groove Armada, Richard Humpty Vission, Timo Maas, Dirty Vegas) and Bowie (Moby, Nine Inch Nails, Air, Photek).
In other news, DEEPSKY will be making their first-ever live performance in New York City at S.O.B.’s on Wednesday, October 30 for a special CMJ RPM showcase along with FC Kahuna, Noel Sanger and Trendroid. The duo will be performing material from their current release for Kinetic Records, In Silico–as well as a variety of their other works–of which Time Out New York (March 7, 2002) noted: “In Silico displays all sorts of discoveries about how to make computers and other electronic instruments stimulate auditory nerves, emotions and body movement…DEEPSKY takes you to new places and makes you wonder just how you got there.”
Current tour dates are as follows:

10/19 Ritual @ Club Chaos Columbus, OH
10/26 Vampire Stripper Sluts from Outer Space @ State Palace New Orleans, LA

From their first commercial release “In My Mind” (which landed on Nick Warren’s Cream Live 2) to their follow-up single “Tempest” (which served as the theme song for MTV’s seminal electronica video program “Amp” and also appeared on Warren’s Live In Prague) to their international hit “Stargazer,” DEEPSKY have established themselves as one of America’s most sought-after progressive production duos. In 1998 DEEPSKY paired with Sandra Collins to produce “Red” and “Ode to Our,” two hard-hitting tracks that created considerable international buzz and quickly found their way into the record boxes of progressive luminaries like DRC and John Digweed. The following year they released “Cosmic Dancer,” featuring vocals by world music major Jai Uttal; Mixmag UK ranked it the fourth best trance track of the year (an updated version of the song appears on IN SILICO). DEEPSKY’s remixes of Carl Cox’s “Phuture 2000,” Kaistar’s “Promethean Groove,” Energy 52’s “Café Del Mar” and numerous others continue to be peak after-hour favorites around the world.
Even outside the studio, DEEPSKY have been torchbearers in American progressive electronic music. Their live performances are at the very core of the grassroots following they have been building in America for the past five years. The many die-hard fans that travel hundreds of miles to catch a show are testimony to the cult status DEEPSKY shows are attaining with dance music aficionados around the North American continent. Few live performances of progressive dance music offer the same intense presence and raw energy as a DEEPSKY show, reminiscent to those of the early days of Underworld or The Crystal Method.
Check out DEEPSKY’s XM radio mix show “The Move” which airs on channel 80 each week on Friday’s at 1pm and again on Saturday nights between 12am and 3am eastern on Sound System.
