Station To Radio Station – Golden Years Remixed By Kcrw

I am a DJ, I am what I play…

Just ahead of the 35th anniversary of the Golden Years single release, (November 21st) and to celebrate this week’s release of the Deluxe and Special Edition boxes of Station To Station, four DJs from the Los Angeles public radio station, KCRW, have each been tasked with creating a remix of the classic Bowie track.

Not that any one of the four, Jeremy Sole, Anthony Valadez, Eric J Lawrence and Chris Douridas, considered remixing Golden Years a chore…quite the opposite in fact…

“Reinterpreting a timeless classic like Golden Years certainly wasn’t taken lightly by our DJs,” said KCRW Music Director and DJ Jason Bentley, above. “It’s an incredible honor and a massively intimidating challenge at the same time. It’s important to note that two of our four featured DJs ? Eric J Lawrence and Chris Douridas — had no previous experience with remixing, yet they all brought a fresh perspective to the song and had fun doing it.”

You can make up your own minds about how well you think they did by listening to each of the mixes via snippets on this dedicated KCRW Golden Years Remixed page.
