my role is pretty complex
basically to find out what will she do, how when where and with who
as the first step we will release a double Cabaret Voltaire cover EP
the Crackdown Project

here is the press release
and I will bring you more details when they are available

*** BILLIE RAY MARTIN - THE CRACKDOWN PROJECT ***

When Billie Ray Martin told Stephen Mallinder she had just finished the job of selling cabaret Voltaire out to disco, he burst out laughing. The legendary master of electronic music from famed band cabaret Voltaire saw no reason to stop her. Instead he agreed to deliver his first vocal performance in years on the cover of CV’s song: The Crackdown. Produced by top Berlin tech-house act Märtini Brös, this production brings Billie Ray Martin back to her cutting edge house music roots.

Second in line to be out-discoed was ‘just fascination’. This time UK’s finest nu-disco producer Lusty Zanzibar delivered the production. The result is a no holds barred epic nu-disco fest. Remixes were delivered not only by ‘Your Loving Arms’ co-writer David Harrow under his Oicho moniker but also by super-blog Audio Porn Central’s top remix team. Released on Billie’s Disco Activisto label, she and Audio Porn Central’s Simon Iddol have teamed up to mastermind this and future BRM releases.

BRM: ” I could never do justice to the original songs but can have a damn good time trying.”
