VIA PRESS RELEASE | Following a stunning headline performance in London’s Hyde Park to close the BST festival, and with their highly anticipated North American tour starting next month, Duran Duran have today announced the limited 12” vinyl release of “All of You” (Erol Alkan’s Extended Rework), out October 14th and available to pre-order here via Phantasy Sound.
Having co-produced Duran Duran’s acclaimed fifteenth studio album, Future Past, Erol Alkan returns to deliver a very special Extended Rework. Paying tribute to the band’s pioneering “Night Version” remixes that tipped their earliest material towards the dance floor, this grandiose reimagining equally recalls Alkan’s beloved reworks from over the years.
Recorded with founding members Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor, and Roger Taylor, “All of You” also features lead guitar from Graham Coxon and backing vocals by Barli. Blessed with the raw material, Alkan distills each element into a glorious disco odyssey totaling nearly ten minutes, an epic but sensual dance floor trip that already ranks amongst his finest work.
Phantasy is proud to release “All of You” (Erol Alkan’s Extended Rework) (backed with an instrumental version) on a limited run of 12” vinyl, with an exclusive red vinyl edition of only 300, available only at Rough Trade stores.
Originally debuted by Erol Alkan in Ibiza at the band’s three night “Duran Duran: Touch The Sunrise” immersive weekend experience that lifted the curtain on the island’s summer season, the extended rework is a hypnotic, expansive ode to the Future Past album highlight. Duran Duran’s instantly recognizable sound is complemented with new accents and flourishes—John Taylor’s head-nodding bass line entwines with Graham Coxon’s guitar lead, both shot through with instant hooks and punctuated by Nick Rhodes’ cinematic keys.
The extended rework arrives as Duran Duran look ahead to their long-awaited North American headlining tour this summer, celebrating the band’s spectacular four-decade career and in continued support of their critically acclaimed 15th studio album, Future Past.
Starting August 19, the 14-date tour will see the multi-platinum, award-winning legends play iconic venues such as Madison Square Garden in New York City, the Wynn Las Vegas, and The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, amongst others. Tickets for the band’s North American tour are on sale now. Please visit http://duranduran.com/tour/ for details and to purchase tickets. Joining as special guests for all shows except Las Vegas (which is billed as “an evening with”) and Los Angeles will be Nile Rodgers & CHIC.
