Apparently some Lady is Gaga for Salme Dahlstrom and it's no wonder. Dahlstrom is a music biz vet who has been up, down and around the major label system for many years, scoring a few dozen placements in huge television commercials and TV shows and steadily building an audience for her infectious pop songs that easily merge brains, brawn, femininity and fun.
Like Moby did with his hugely popular album Play, Dahlstrom has managed to license every track from The Acid Cowgirl Audio Trade including syncs with companies such as Suave, Vodafone, Nike, MTV, Chips Ahoy, Miller Lite, Subaru, Quiznos, Ford Models, Bank of America and television programs and films such as One Tree Hill, Veronica Mars, Laguna Beach, The Real Orange County, The Hills, and Ice Age 3.
“Hello California,” the third single off of Salme’s critically acclaimed album The Acid Cowgirl Audio Trade gets the make over galore by some of the biggest names in break beat today. From party rockers to beach cruisers, these new mixes will leave you happy and out of breath!
One of the featured mixes is by Latvian duo, Quadrat Beat. The pair is no stranger to success with its most recent release “Rush Hour” hitting 1 on the Beatport sales charts where it was lodged for two months. Quadrat Beat’s take on “Hello California” is nothing short of magical -- hard banging beats, nasty synth harmonies and filtered out vocals make this mix a peak time party rocker!
Additional interpretations of “Hello California” come from DJ Phunkae and Saint Victim. The Real Hype Records boss man (DJ Phunkae) comes through with his trademark break beat pop on this one. Dirty guitars and bass lines make way to the lush vocals laid down by Dahlstrom. Three minutes and thirty seconds of pop joy! Saint Victim aka DC comes through with an electro jammie. Dirty pounding beats and bass makes this a must have for the electro DJ.
The 5-song EP that has been circuklating the electronica underground for a while now. Featuring "G.L.S" and "Feels Like Something".
Get it while you can, folks!
