Salme Dahlstrom's latest single gets remixed by Madonna, Mariah, Diddy treatment team Klubjumpers. Major label shake up survivor to release this track and more on “C'mon Y'all - The Remixes.”
Salme Dahlstrom's The Acid Cowgirl Audio Trade is a “no excuses”, in-your-face pop-electronica album that is waist deep in potential singles, the latest being the infectious “C'mon Y'all.” As Dahlstrom's album continues to draw media attention, “C'mon Y'all” has drawn the attention and labor of some of the hottest remix teams and DJs in the world.
Just one of the notable contributors is Klubjumpers which has worked with such superstars as Madonna, Mariah Carey, Diddy, Black Eyed Peas, Britney Spears, Lil Wayne and many others. The Klubjumpers mix opens the new remix disc with a strobe-light inspired take on “C'mon Y'all,” and is followed by a slew of re-imagined versions by Brad Smith, Tribal Injection, Dephunk, Mike Ternero, and Bashar.
Dahlstrom's album and this latest group of remixes have both been self released on Dahlstrom's own KonTainer Music label, a practice that is quickly becoming the norm as major labels face their self-created end times. Echoing the recent stories of Katy Perry's (“I Kissed A Girl”) experiences with persevering as an artist and performer after being courted, groomed and dropped by major labels, Dahlstrom has had struggles of her own.
Dahlstrom elaborates saying, “When it came time to put out my album I felt I had to do it independently. My last encounter with the major labels ended badly and I was left in limbo for six months while my label tried to get their shit together. They kept telling me that they really wanted me to stay on and that they would find a new home and I would be their number one priority. After six months of the same song and dance, I told them I was walking. During that half a year, I didn't write a song, not a single note. I was totally paralyzed by the situation... I felt lost. I never wanted to be in that spot again and decided that it was time to take charge. As I produced some new songs and was talking to major labels about record deals, I was also starting to formulate a plan on how I could do this without them.”
Like Moby did with Play before her, Dahlstrom was able to license every track from The Acid Cowgirl Audio Trade. She explains, “I started getting licensing requests to use the new songs in commercials, movies etc. Pretty quickly I had a little business going. A couple of years earlier this would have constituted selling out, but times had changed and licensing was the future. I never wrote songs with product placement in mind, but it was gratifying to see how well my songs were received by licensing agents and ad agencies, and the fact that they were willing to pay good money to license gave me confidence in that I could write and produce ‘hits.' By the time I put the album out all songs on the album had been licensed for something.”
Dahlstrom's tunes have been heard on The Hills, One Tree Hill, Veronica Mars, Brooke Knows Best, in the upcoming movie Spring Breakdown, and as part of various campaigns for Miller Lite, Subaru, Vodafone, Virgin Mobile and others. Be sure to look out for Salme Dahlstrom's The Acid Cowgirl Audio Trade with its latest single and slew of remixes… Listen today! C'mon y'all!
