TRAX: Rauhofer, Peters Are Mixing Up A Storm In The Studio (Billboard
- 853 words - July 22, 2000) BY MICHAEL PAOLETTA STAR 69:
Peter Rauhofer (aka Club 69) has been racking up much studio time of late.
The Austrian-born/New York-residing remixer/producer/DJ recently spent
several weeks in London collaborating with clubland's Pet Shop Boys for
the U.K. duo's "best of" set, which is scheduled for a worldwide release
in the fall. Rauhofer says he and the Boys co-produced three new songs
for the album: a remake of Raze's house classic "Break 4 Love,"
"Kitsch," and an as yet untitled track. "It all happened quite naturally,"
explains Rauhofer. "I remixed their last single ["I Don't Know What You
Want But I Can't Give It Any More"], and they liked it a lot. So, they
approached me and asked if I'd like to co-produce some tracks with them.
"And I must say, it was a great environment in the studio with them,"
he continues.
"Both Neil [Tennant] and Chris [Lowe] allowed me the freedom to do what
I wanted. They completely trusted me. At one point, Neil said, "If you
want to fuck with the vocals, go ahead.' It was truly a great experience."
Additionally, Rauhofer has completed remixes of Chicane's "Don't Give
Up" (Xtravaganza/Columbia), Frankie Goes To Hollywood's "Relax" (ZTT U.K.),
Book Of Love's "Boy" (Reprise/Warner Bros.),
Karen Ramirez's beautiful cover of Everything But The Girl's "Looking
For Love" (MCA/Universal), and Whitney Houston and George Michael's "If
I Told You That" (Arista). Rauhofer has also restructured Arkana's "Skin"
(Reprise/Warner Bros.), making it his third "Skin" remix. Wide-awake punters
will remember that he remixed Madonna's "Skin," as well as Charlotte's
song of the same name.
