Tom's Diner (Dirty Impact vs. Royal XTC) [Remix]

Official Press Release

     

Singer/songwriter Suzanne Vega’s classic composition, Tom’s Diner,
has a rich and storied history. Written in 1981, and released shortly
after, few were familiar with the song until nearly a decade later, when
in 1990, Britain’s DNA remixed it and released their version to massive
global success. After inspiring still more cover versions, in 1991, an
entire album—logically titled Tom’s Album—was released that included
the DNA version, along with versions from several other artists.

Interestingly, the track was also credited with helping the development of
the MP3 file format. One of the engineers working on MP3 compression
used the track the verify the quality characteristics of their algorithms,
leading some to refer to Tom’s Diner as, “The Mother of the MP3.”

This incredible new version of Tom’s Diner comes to us from Austria,
where the DJ/production team of Wolf Le Funk, Phil Maurice and Chris
Antonio joined to form Dirty Impact. The trio has been working together
for three years, heating-up the club scene as in-demand DJs in Austria,
Germany, and Turkey, while producing several of their own tracks.

For Tom’s Diner, Dirty Impact joined with the trio Royal XTC (DJ X Treme,
Tom, and East King Kolin Claus), and then engaged a group of some of
Europe’s finest remixers to help polish-up, crank-up, and tune-up Tom’s
Diner for a whole new audience—which we present to you here.

This release leads with a massive remix from PH Electro (Paul Hutsch),
known for his recent CAPP release, Englishman in New York. And the
scorching-hot duo DJs From Mars add their take as well. The package is
rounded-out by five additional mixes, sure to suite nearly every taste!
