ONO - Nine Number Ones (from the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play Chart)

Yoko Ono continues her dance floor domination with her 6th consecutive #1 Billboard Hot Dance Club Play Chart-topper MOVE ON FAST.

Featuring explosive mixes by Dave Aude, Digital Dog, Ralphi Rosario, Richard Morel, Chris The Greek, Emjae, Twisted Sound+Vision, DJ Yiannis, Nacho &amp; Ivan and Timmy Loop

Sitting atop the cream of the pop crop (Rihanna, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Taio Cruz, Kylie Minogue, And Jennifer Lopez) Yoko Ono once again seizes the coveted #1 spot on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play Chart with her latest dance floor reinvention <a href="http://ax.search.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSearch.woa/wa/search?term=ono+move+on+fast" target="_blank">MOVE ON FAST (The Remixes)</a> (Issue Date: 12 March 2011).

The single marks the influential pop culture iconoclast’s SIXTH consecutive #1 dance hit (and EIGHTH overall) following <a href="http://imaginepeace.com/archives/12259" target="_blank">WOULDN'IT (I’M A STAR)</a>, <a href="http://ax.search.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSearch.woa/wa/search?entity=album&amp;media=all&amp;restrict=true&amp;submit=seeAllLockups&amp;term=ono+give+me+something" target="_blank">GIVE ME SOMETHING</a>, <a href="http://ax.search.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSearch.woa/wa/search?entity=album&amp;media=all&amp;restrict=true&amp;submit=seeAllLockups&amp;term=ono+i'm+not+getting+enough" target="_blank">I’M NOT GETTING ENOUGH</a>, <a href="http://ax.search.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSearch.woa/wa/search?entity=album&amp;media=all&amp;restrict=true&amp;submit=seeAllLockups&amp;term=ono+give+peace+a+chance" target="_blank">GIVE PEACE A CHANCE</a> and <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/album/no-no-no/id282416124" target="_blank">NO NO NO</a>. It’s an accomplishment which few, if any artists can boast.

<a href="http://ax.search.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSearch.woa/wa/search?term=ono+move+on+fast" target="_blank"> MOVE ON FAST</a> finds ONO rocking hard with an all-or-nothing fearlessness and galvanizing energy that focuses and flexes the raw, teeth-gnashing grit she and husband John (and their Elephants Memory backing band) were crafting in NYC's rough-hewn Downtown art and music scenes.

Originally issued as the B-Side to the folksy Dylan-esque single NOW OR NEVER and culled from her landmark 1972 double album APPROXIMATELY INFINITE UNIVERSE, the song embodies the sprawling set’s offbeat pop/rock sound, which is laced with bop, big band swing, and razor-sharp feminist rock overtones. If NOW OR NEVER was a wistful wake-up call to a tuned-out, slacked-off America, MOVE ON FAST grabbed them by the scruff to shake them out of their collective stupor and shout burn it at both ends and live for today - a strident, rebellious and political statement from the avant-garde matriarch, which would foreshadow the rise of the punk movement still years down the road!

ONO enlists an international assemblage of dance music innovators to recast her galvanizing call to arms into a searing 21st Century club juggernaut, featuring vibrant re-rubs from Dave Aude, Richard Morel, Digital Dog, Ralphi Rosario, Wawa, DJ Yiannis, Emjae, Twisted Sound+Vision, Chris The Greek, Timmy Loop and newcomers Nacho &amp; Ivan.

It’s the latest installment from ONO’s ongoing remix series campaign, which has seen the boundless art-rock visionary opening up her pandora’s box of original material for an eager generation of superlative cutting-edge artists to cleverly reinvent, including: Flaming Lips, Pet Shop Boys, Antony And The Johnsons, Sparks, Basement Jaxx, Junior Boys, Danny Tenaglia, Porcupine Tree, Stonebridge, CSS, Bimbo Jones, The Sleepy Jackson, Peaches, Linus Loves, Cat Power and Oscar winning composer Craig Armstrong.

To date, the groundbreaking series has spawned 2 critically-acclaimed remix albums –

YES, I’M A WITCH and OPEN YOUR BOX -

8 x #1 BILLBOARD HOT DANCE CLUB PLAY chart-topping hits including

MOVE ON FAST, WOULDNIT’ (I’M A STAR), GIVE ME SOMETHING, I’M NOT GETTING ENOUGH, GIVE PEACE A CHANCE, NO NO NO, EVERYMAN/EVERYWOMAN and the seminal anthem WALKING ON THIN ICE.

<a href="http://ax.search.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSearch.woa/wa/search?term=ono+move+on+fast" target="_blank">MOVE ON FAST (The Remixes)</a> is available as three separate digital green singles (no materials used or abused) on MIND TRAIN / TWISTED Records at iTunes and the TWISTED Records online store.

Yoko Ono scored her 5th Consecutive #1 Billboard Hot Dance Club Play Chart-Topper With “WOULDNIT (I’M A STAR)”  The Remixes, featuring Mixes By Dave Aude, Ralphi Rosario, Richard Morel, DJ Yiannis, Emjae, Denny Tstettos, M-Deep, Rob Rives and Timmy Loop.

Originally appearing in 2 different settings, one on YOKO’s LP BLUEPRINT FOR A SUNRISE and the other on her IMA collaboration RISING, the previously bluesy WOULDNIT has been retooled into a surging motivational anthem courtesy of vibrant reconstructions by DAVE AUDE, RALPHI ROSARIO, RICHARD MOREL,  DJ YIANNIS, EMJAE, DENNY TSTETTOS, M-DEEP, ROB RIVES, and TIMMY LOOP.

The song is easily one of the enduring avant-garde visionary’s most dynamic remix offerings to date and it’s meteoric rise to the top of the club charts has been nothing short of amazing.

The fiery anthem quickly ascended to the #24 power pick (Issue Date: 08/14/2010) before landing in the Top Ten at #8* with a bullet (Issue Date: 09/04/2010).

Then, just three short weeks later, WOULDNIT’ (I’M A STAR) seized the coveted #1 spot!

Not only is this  a testament to the potency of ONO’s original work, it’s also further evidence of why she’s become embraced as the reigning queen of the dance scene.

It’s unbelievable that at 77 years young, the alt-rock matriarch continues to be a major influential force on the cultural landscape. Nearly 5 decades since first bursting onto the unsuspecting art and music worlds with her forward-thinking works, Yoko continues to evolve and thrive – both inside and outside the margins – still dreaming, pushing boundaries and challenging the status quo with her own unique and uncompromising artistic vision.

“WOULDNIT’ (I’M A STAR)” (THE REMIXES) and “WOULDNIT’ (I’M A STAR)” (THE DUB MIXES) are available now as digital green releases (no materials used or abused) on MIND TRAIN / TWISTED Records at iTunes and the TWISTED Records online store.

Clubplanet Interviews Yoko Ono
by Marcos Colón, Club Planet

Other than being known as an artist, author, peace activist and wife to John Lennon, Yoko Ono also makes great music. Her life and career have seen many ups and downs, but right now it seems like all things are in an upswing for her as she’s dominating the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play charts with the latest track off of her latest remix series, “The Remixes.” While many so-called artists today tend to walk a safe path when it comes to art and the perceptions others have towards it, Yoko Ono never felt the need to follow a particular path, but controversially created her own and welcomed everyone else to do the same.

Clubplanet recently caught up with Yoko Ono and chatted about the recent success of her remix series, the underlying theme behind her latest single, and what she thinks of music today in relation to art.

Clubplanet: You’ve had many great accomplishments throughout your life, and now you’re topping Billboard’s Hot Dance Club Play chart. How does it feel to do this four consecutive times in a genre that’s extremely stacked with talent from all areas of the globe?
Yoko Ono: Well I’m totally surprised. ‘Shocked’ is really the word. I never expected that. I really think that I’m very lucky. I’m lucky to be here and lucky to experience this. All my life there was talk that people really didn’t like my songs or that my songs were just swept under the rug. But now, suddenly, there are people that love my music. It’s a very nice feeling.

CP: What’s the underlying theme behind the track, “Give Me Something”?
Yoko Ono: It really says it all in the song. It’s just a feeling that I had about society. We live in a kind of society where we all scream, “Give me something.” At the time I thought that this is what society was feeling. It’s interesting because “Death of Samantha” was another song I wrote a long time before John passed away, but it was about John passing away… about the day of the vigil. The words were coming through me, and they were definitely about the vigil. And it was the same for this song too, it says it in the song, “Give me something that’s not cold.” We’re all getting very cold now as a society. That’s what I was feeling.

CP: When you write these songs, do your influences come from the state of the world today?
Yoko Ono: I usually feel that they come from somewhere, like outer space, and I’m just passing it along to you guys and sharing the experience.

CP: What’s your process for determining what remixes will make the cut for your series?
Yoko Ono: Well I don’t like to play the bad mommy role, telling these guys that they have to make their mixes a certain way or it won’t work out. I like to see what happens with their creativity. I like to give them their space to work. My whole attitude for this comes from a “everything is beautiful, all styles are beautiful” way of thinking. I love them all [the remixes] and I also appreciate working with them. I feel very lucky.

CP: How do you feel about the role of the “producer” today?
Yoko Ono: I think that the producer’s job today is very exciting. It’s very creative and exciting work. It’s also a joint effort with the artist and sometimes they may feel like they’re not appreciated as much, but I’d really like to say that I really appreciate each one of them.

CP: In relation to art, what are your thoughts on dance music today?
Yoko Ono: We should all keep dancing. I really think that dance is a very, very important part of our lives. I always say, “Don’t march through life, dance through life.” Marching is one way of going through life, but dancing is a much more joyful way of going through life and we need joy.

CP: What do you have planned for the remainder of the year?
Yoko Ono: Many things. (laughs) But you’ll find out when the time is right. I don’t believe in saying things before the soup is made, so to speak. (laughs)

I'M NOT GETTING ENOUGH

Standing on Mott Street
Checking the beat
Time is slipping away again
And I still haven't got a clue
They say cat's got nine lives
I sure hope that's not true

'Cause I'm not getting enough
Not getting enough
I'm not getting enough
Not getting enough
Not getting enough
From life
 
Stars are orbiting in space
Sun's rising on my face again
Times are getting heavy again
I'm feeling black and blue
They say cat's got nine wives
I sure hope that's not true

'Cause I'm not getting enough
Not getting enough
 I'm not getting enough
Not getting enough
Not getting enough
From life
I'm not getting enough
Not getting enough
Not getting enough
From life

“The mixes are a testament to the impressive scope of Yoko’s influence.”
 BBC

“In one of those spectacular back-flips of pop fashionability, the music of Yoko Ono is now being sourced by a new generation for whom her uncompromising vocal intensity is the perfect match for the complex architecture of their sampled beats.”

"NO, NO, NO was written and sung by a woman who was in such a pain that her heart was cracking while she kept her mind clear, so she could survive for herself and for her son. Of course that was me - right after John passed away. When John was still alive, he kept whispering to Sean that he would always be there for Sean and protect him. So when John left, Sean kept saying "a promise is made to be broken",  making it lighter than what it was. He was in pain. Sean loved this song. Each time when I sung "I don't remember what you promeeesed" and elongated the end of it, he used to let his body go down at the same time to the floor. I remember how hard it was for me to go through that period, especially, knowing how Sean was managing to hide his tears."

ONO - Every Man Has A Man... (Dave Aude Remix)

ONO - Walking on Thin Ice (Pet Shop Boys Extended Mix)

You say mustn’t do this and that
You say can’t do this and that 
While you’re losing your pants in a bulletproof car
Losing your head in a downtown bar

Oh, forget it, just forget it
It’s the curse, you’re my curse, it could be worse
I’m just talking to the Universe
I’m just talking to the Universe 
Listen!

You say mustn’t have this and that
You say can’t have this and that
While you’re losing your apple and squeezing our balls 
Losing your mind and crawling up the walls

Oh, forget it, just forget it
It’s the curse, you’re my curse, it could be worse
I’m just talking to the Universe
I’m just talking to the Universe
Listen!

You’re a dildo, I’m a whore
I’m a Barbiedoll, you’re a bore
Living in a glass house having fun
Lying in a glass house watching the sun

Oh, forget it, just forget it
It’s the curse, you’re my curse, it could be worse
I’m talking to the Universe
I’m talking to the Universe
Listen!

© 1994 Yoko Ono

--------------------------------------------------------------

Yoko has been our celestial medium for 70 plus years now - our 20th & 21st Century ambassador to the cosmos and all it’s mysteries and she’s still talking to the universe for us. 

Originally a funk-fueled rocker from her 1995 Rising LP, the single’s provocative lyrics and punk sensibilities have been masterfully spun into another explosive club collection featuring remixes by Ralphi Rosario, Chris The Greek, Tony Marinos and The Perry Twins who start the ball rolling with the first set of spectacular remixes. 

It’s the latest chapter in Ono’s staggering body of remixed works which, to date, has yielded two critically-acclaimed remix albums:Yes, I’m A Witch, companion release Open Your Box and eight #1 Billboard Club Play Chart hits including “Move On Fast”, “Wouldnit’ (I’m A Star)” and “Give Me Something”. 

Reinventing her material for 21st-century dancefloors has given Yoko a visibility that many contemporaries and present-day contenders can be envious of.
