Following last year’s release of David Bowie’s Space Oddity EP application, on June 6 the Golden Years app, and Golden Years remix EP on CD, 12" and digital download will be released.
Keen to push the boundaries of technology, Bowie has given fans the unique opportunity to access original multi-tracks, which allow them to become remixer and create their own version of Golden Years, only this time they’ll also be able to share their remixes with friends.
Fans can make their remixes, using eight stems (bounced down from the original 16 tracks), featuring Bowie’s lead vocal, 12-string guitar, bass, drums, guitar, harmonium, percussion (including blocks, congas, claps) and backing vocals.
Additionally, they can ‘shake’ the player, which allows for random track selection and ‘shuffles’ track mixes. The stems for this app were specifically created by Golden Years and Station to Station’s original producer, Harry Maslin.
To coincide with the launch of the App, EMI will release a Golden Years EP – featuring the original single version and four brand new remixes of the track created by DJ’s Jeremy Sole, Anthony Valadez, Eric J Lawrence, and Chris Douridas from the US radio station KCRW.
