dj hell presents klaus nomi: cold song 2013

DJ Hell revisits new wave vaudevillian Klaus Nomi. "Cold Song" was actually written by 17th century Baroque composer Henry Purcell and poet John Dryden for their opera King Arthur. Nomi recorded a version for his self-titled album from 1981 and this 2013 remake adds a totally new dimension to the original, tailored unapologetically for the dancefloor with an Italo-disco edge. DJ Hell also re-envisions the piece as a house track, with African poly-rhythms and synthetic bleeps dancing around Nomi's sky-high counter-tenor. On clear vinyl.
