The official Remix album launch by Ira Losco entitled ‘ MIXED BEATS’ was held at a jam packed Numero Uno on Saturday 22nd of August.

 

The remix album features remixed tracks off her latest album ‘Fortune Teller’ as well as 3 bonus remixes, namely ‘ Accident Prone’ , ‘Love Song’ and `Driving one of your cars`.

 

The DJS collaborating on the remix album are none other than the world famous DJ Shah known for the world wide hit ‘ Going Wrong’, International DJ Thomas Penton and our local top DJs/producers – DJ Ruby who’s currently enjoying the no.1 chart position on Bay Radio for the 3rd consecutive week marking this Ira Losco’s 18th No. 1 hit record , Toby , Tenishia, Miss Roberta, Alvin Gee, U-bahn , Glenn Frantz and a much welcomed comeback from the local dance remix godfathers- Duo Blank.

 

“We live in an music era where things are constantly changing. New ideas to counter act the daily challenges this industry has been facing for the last 5 years gives a breathe of fresh air to artists. It is definitely the musical decade of crossover music where an artist is not easily pigeon holed in a genre to suit the labels A&R needs. Although this normally has a marketing benefit it can also stifle artists .So collaborations is definitely one way of exploring different markets and territories.’” said Howard Keith form Jagged House management.

 

‘Mixed Beats’ is now available in all leading outlets whilst single track and full album download is also available from the artist’s label and management - Jagged House ( www.jaggedhouse.com) , Armada, Magic Island records, Fektive records and of course Beat port.
“I like to release material every single year, it keeps me active.” said Ira Losco “This album seemed like a great idea just before my new album in my preferred rock genre is to be released. I’ve collaborated with many DJs who have always given my music a fresh and different sound . I’m also lucky to work with people like Shah who is excited about me being on his album on worldwide release as well as having several requests from other world renowned artists” .

 

Following Ira Losco ‘s first remix album in 2005, marking it as the first local remix album to be ever released at a jam packed launch party at Axis and sold out album, “Mixed Beats” the remix album, promises to be another successful release from Ira Losco.

“I believe we’re all here for a reason and Desmond Vella’s short stay amongst us was a very meaningful one and not to be ever forgotten especially by the ones who were close to him. He was an incredible person and an event promoter like no other, especially in the dance scene. With great honour I dedicate this album to him and i sincerely send my condolences to all his family” added Ira Losco
