Big Boots Remix
 
The Italian DJ Spankox did not seem to be impressed by the law-suit he lost from EPE in the U.K. Despite ongoing problems with Elvis Presley Enterprises, he has just released his latest Elvis remix on iTunes. This time he remixed 'Big Boots' from "G.I. Blues". He also announced a new remix album containing 12 new remixes. Before the album release in May 2011 two more singles will be released in a digital format. 




The official press release


"New milestone for Elvis Presley, 34 years after his premature departure: the new Elvis Presley “Re:Volution” album including 12 never released before newly remixed tracks sung by the King of Rock’n’Roll will be released in May 2011.


The first single, a stunning and amazing new version of “Big Boots” that seems to be sent directly by Elvis from Heaven to his fans, will be released on iTunes on March 9, 2011. The song, an instantly catchy and radio-friendly tune that works very well on the dancefloor, can be already heard on iTunes and on YouTube. It is already generating rave reviews because of the exceptional clarity of the voice of the King (it really seems it’s a contemporary recording) and the top quality of the production and of the new musical arrangement.


Produced by Agostino “Ago” Carollo Spankox, the composer/DJ/producer who also produced the Elvis Presley “Re:Versions”, “Re:Mixes”, “Christmas Remixes” and the n. 1 2008 Presley’s official hit single “Baby Let’s Play House”, the album “Re:Volution” has been made using innovative and groundbreaking techniques (as Elvis would have done) but respecting the essence of Elvis music; it is truly “Elvis as you’ve never heard him before” and it is destined to capture and excite old and new Presley’s fans. Two other singles will be released digitally before the release of the album which is slated for May 2011. 


Agostino “Ago” Carollo Spankox has a long string of hits under his belt and is currently riding very high in the Billboard USA charts with his own original track Ago “So True” that is currently #11 in the Billboard Top 100 Dance Radio Airplay Chart."
