Bring on the remixes for Katy Perry‘s fourth single off of her sophomore album, Teenage Dream. While initially, “E.T.” was not my first choice, it’s grown on me considerably since the first time I heard it. Written by Perry, Lukasz Gottwald, Max Martin, Joshua Coleman and produced by Dr. Luke, Ammo and Martin the song is a more appropriate choice for a single than let’s say, “Peacock,” for example. The song was first released digitally before the album came out as a hype-generating tactic by the label, whereupon the single debuted at #42 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The single will be officially released on February 27th in the UK and on March 1st in America.
To date, all of Perry’s Teenage Dream singles have been remixed for the clubs, so a remix package for “E.T.” seems imminent. Confirmed official remixers thus far are Manhattan Clique, Dave Audé and DJ Tiësto. There’s also an official radio remix featuring UK rapper Tinie Tempah which is generating some interest at the moment.
On the unofficial remix front we have a fantastic mix by Suneil S, an Edinburgh-based producer/remixer. Suneil S. released his first single back in 2007 and has been making strides and improving upon his work ever since. In addition to creating fresh, new sounds Suneil has received support from big names in the the electronic music scene including Rasmus Faber, Axwell, StoneBridge, Jerome Isma-Ae, Timo Maas, Tomcraft, Jesse Voorn and many more. This year, Suneil S takes his knowledge and passion for electronic music to the airwaves with a weekly resident show alongside DJ Kay-Dee for Serbia’s AS FM, showcasing the finest in House music.
