Paul Simon releases the remix edition of the classic album “Graceland” in June

In the same way as the new album is released, Simon also goes on an extensive tour, Homeward Bound – The Farewell Tour, with a stop in Stockholm, Sweden, the thirtieth of June.
Often nominated as one of the most iconic albums in rock history, Paul Simon’s “Graceland” from 1986, has been remixed. The songs are produced by electro and house music legends such as MK, Richy Ahmed, Paul Okenfold and Groove Armada.
The project “Graceland – The Remixes” contains 12 tracks in total and includes artists representing a wide range of music genres, including Deep House, Afro House, DnB and Tech House. Producer and project manager for the production are Michael Gaiman, AKA The Duke of New York.
“To say it was an honour to mix one of Paul Simon’s tracks is an understatement,” says Richy Ahmed, referring to his remix of the song “The Boy In The Bubble”. “It is one of my favourite tracks ever.”
“What do you say when someone asks you to remix a classic? Well normally, No!” laughs Andy from Groove Armada. “It’s a rule we’ve managed to follow for 20 years. Until we got a call about remixing a track from Graceland. Here was an album…which had opened our ears to a new world of sound. We decided to break the rule because we could choose a tune. In [“You Can Call Me Al”] was a horn riff which we’d been dropping in our sets ever since we tried it at Fais Do-Do’s Ballroom in LA back in 1998 and it created an electric moment of dancefloor unity. So the remix wrote itself and our ace-in-the-pack Horn Drop is now public property.”
