Pnau are doing another album with Elton John's music

  • October 24, 2012
  • Sam Hine

Pnau are having another go at remixing Elton John's music.

The pair revealed this bit of news to Gigwise, noting: "We're actually doing another record with Elton. In fact, we're doing a couple of them but with a different era."

"We'll always be drawing from the seventies because that was such a good time for his music," they continued, "but in the early eighties obviously the sound changed an awful lot and he went a lot more electronic."

But is there anyone else's music you could remix and then pass off as your own?

"In terms of other artists I would love to do it with other artists, like Bowie. Without making it sound like a greatest hits remix record, it would have to be with someone who had made a lot of music. That also made it harder with Elton because he had so many songs, but we had a lot to draw from and a lot to absorb."

So now you know.
