R3HAB will be at the Yost mixing on Sept. 1
Yoko Ono, better known as her alter-ego ONO, has collaborated with the widely acclaimed Dutch Electronic Dance Music artist, R3HAB, as well as Grammy-nominated house music mogul, Danny Tenaglia, to captivate audiences with a symphonic, edgy twist on Ono’s hit 1981 timeless single, “Walking on Thin Ice.” R3hab will be at Yost in Santa Ana on Sept. 1.
This hit sounds better than ever before with its, old school meets new school, feel and modernized beats updating the two decades old song. In fact, “Walking on Thin Ice” made it #1 on The Billboard Hot Dance Club Play thanks to Twisted Records and Mind Train in 2003. Other chart-topping big hits by ONO include but are not limited to “I’m Not Getting Enough,” “Everyman / Everywoman,” “Hold Me,” “Move On Fast,” “No No No” and “Talking to the Universe.”
“Walking on Thin Ice” was originally recorded with John Lennon during the ‘Double Fantasy’ recording sessions. That was the last recording done by the dynamic duo of Lennon and Ono. “Walking on Thin Ice” was initially recorded in late 1980, but was not released until after Lennon’s death in early months of 1981. After the release of “Walking on Thin Ice,” ONO established herself as the pioneer of electronic-infused dance music with nu-wave hybrid and post-disco as her fortes. Those beats were what defined that time era and now it’s time for something fresh and new in the music scene for ONO.
Meanwhile, R3HAB has also created a name for himself alongside DJs like Afrojack and Chuckie. He has exploded from the Dutch dance scene into one of the most popular EDM DJs whose discography includes remixes with a wide array of some of the biggest artists from David Guetta and Calvin Harris to Katy Perry and Jennifer Lopez to Pitbull and Madonna.
Danny Tenaglia has finally made a comeback to present his new work like it’s never been heard before. He returns with a bang making his first remix after almost a decade. Not only has Danny Tenaglia made his first remix after ten years but he has blown listeners’ ear drums with his mind-blowing ten minute sound expeditions.
It is evident that the revolution of music truly is like the song’s title “Walking on Thin Ice” with its explosive collaborations and remixes especially with artists like R3HAB and Tenaglia nailing it right on the dot welcoming a whole new era of the next big hits.
The newly released 2013 version of “Walking on Thin Ice” was preceded by remixes done by Emjae, Dave Aude and Ralphi Rosario. In just four weeks, the trio of mixes has swung to the top of the Billboard Club Play Chart.
