DURAN DURAN
WHATEVER HAPPENS (PETER RAUHOFER REMIX)
SONY

Although a plethora of remixes will surely surfaces ahead of a domestic release, Star69’s premier remixer Peter Rauhofer is first out the blokes with his burbling Reconstruction Mix of the aging new romantics. It’s a full 3-mins before you realise you’re actually listen to Duran Duran, but that’s the beauty of PR’s remix skills – take the obvious and give it a whole new twist; did you hear his totally off-the-wall recreation of Rod Stewart’s ‘Do You Think I’m Sexy’? Back to the task in hand and when Le Bon’s distinctive vocal finally does arrive you’re so locked into the groove that regardless of your musically allegiances you’ll be hooked. Tribalism for the pop market.
