Eine interessante Künstler-Kombination ist es, die da gleich im frühen 2010 auf die Musikwelt losgelassen wird. Auf Gigolo Records, dem Label von DJ Hell, erscheint am 12.02.2010 die Single U Can Dance. Hierbei handelt es sich um die Interpretation eines bisher unveröffentlichten Songs von Bryan Ferry, die DJ Hell vorgenommen hat. Da hier zwei Genre definierende Künstler aufeinandertreffen, sollte man von einem erfolgsversprechenden Projekt ausgehen. Das Video zur Single lässt sich bereits online ansehen.

Hier zunächst der englische Originaltext:

It was only a matter of time. Two genre-defining artists together…pop music and dance music’s most famous arbiters of taste, collaborating at last. DJ Hell’s “U Can Dance” is an interpretation of an unreleased Bryan Ferry song, but it’s one that reflects a perfect melding of two distinct personalities, a record that sounds as if the voice and music were made for each other.

Hell, of course, has been riding high on the success of Teufelswerk, his masterpiece of a double album, a journey replete with fruitful experiments and club bombs. One that has yielded both massive hits and not a tiny bit of controversy along the way. Ferry, meanwhile, has been as busy as ever—recording a new album, performing in places as far afield as Siberia, opening up the Cannes Film Festival…basically just being Bryan Ferry.

And now here they are together…It all started in 2006 when Hell dropped in to meet Ferry at his West London studio. At first they discussed Hell remixing an old Roxy Music track, and then it turned into something else - something new (U Can Dance).
