There is a fire burning down under and his name is Dino Jag. He is one of those artists that has an internal switch that is set to "ON" at all times. His exuberant energy comes pouring through his music, and never is it more apparent than on "Play That Funky Music" . Within weeks of its release on iTunes , Dino Jag's funkalicious remakes of the classic hit began to appear on the "Top 100" Dance/Electronic charts around the world, hitting number 34 in Denmark & then climbing to number 8 in Australia. He is no stranger to taking a classic song and making it into a dance floor rave up. He first made an impression in this territory with his reworking of Stevie Wonder's "Superstition".
Now another classic is ready for spinning. Wild Cherry had the big hit with it in 1976 and now it has transformed. Dino Jag crosses the threshold of genres and offers two versions of the classic pop tune, the Radio Edit and the Electrodelic Mix. Each one has its own characteristics that will appeal to a large cross section of listeners. While relying on the original rhythm and lyrics, the Radio Edit serves as a more of traditional electronica meltdown while the Electrodelic Mix sounds more futuristic with vocal treatments and rapid-fire rhythms and beats.
While performing with funk/rock band Stolen Waters (1995-1998), Dino was nominated â€Best Male Vocalistâ€, for three consecutive years at the South Australian Music Industry Awards (SAMIA). Prior to that, many would have heard Dino's voice featured on many local and national radio and TV campaigns. His vocal powers received attention early on in his career, and with good reason. Dino's writing and remixing styles have afforded him the opportunity to work on projects with some of the world’s greatest musicians and recording artists such as Ray Columbus, Sir Paul McCartney, Rusty Anderson, and most recently, with Australian icon Barry Crocker.
"Play That Funky Music" shows Dino Jag as an artist shining in his element in the vocal, remixing, and production areas with equal skill. His contagious energy is all about the music he creates and it serves as a tribute to his charisma and magical touch in the studio.
