UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY FOR FANS TO REMIX AND SHARE THEIR OWN VERSION OF “GOLDEN YEARS" WITH NEW IPHONE APPLICATION

Following the release last year of the David Bowie Space Oddity EP Application, on June 6 EMI will release the “Golden Years" App, and Golden Years Remix EP on CD, 12" & Digital Download.

The release will allow the fan to become the 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 (see Notes to editors below), 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 E.P.-available on CD, 12" and digital download—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. These remixes will be exclusive to this E.P.

All four remixes can be streamed online now, exclusively at http://www.kcrw.com/bowie.
