Miami-based out DJ Tracy Young is about as hot as you can get this summer. Handpicked by Madonna to spin at the official Confessions Tour after-party, Tracy was also called on to remix Paris Hilton's single "Stars Are Blind." Taking a break from all the current action, the affable Tracy shared some confessions of her own.
What did you think when you were approached to do a remix for one of Paris Hilton's songs? This always comes out wrong, but I was really surprised by how great the album is. I remember when Jennifer Lopez made this transition, I was like, Oh, please, but look at her now.
How did Paris's public persona influence your remix? Originally I had done a really big-room anthem track, but it didn't work with Paris's style, so I did another version. I made it happy, summery, piano-y, and jazzy, and it seemed to work a lot better.
Speaking of music matching personalities, what gets Madonna on the dance floor? I beg her, but she never tells me. She has never told me what to play in any format in any party I've done for her. But she likes upbeat music, good vocals. She likes Goldfrapp; she likes an Ibiza sound.
Any plans to remix anything from Confessions? There are several tracks I want to work on. I love "Jump" and "Push." I love the album; it's a remix heaven.
But no remixes are scheduled? Unfortunately, no. Nothing has been discussed.
