Mocean Worker has worked as an assistant to bassist/producer Marcus Miller (Miles Davis, Luther Vandross, EU) and he has compiled and produced dozens of jazz and R&B reissues, including work for the Verve Remixed albums. His credits as musician include collaborations with Bill Frissell, Hal Willner, Brian Eno and legendary producer Joel Dorn (Roberta Flack, John Coltrane, Leon Redbone). Under the Mocean Worker moniker, he has released three albums of genre-defying electronic music: Home Movies from the Brain Forest (1998); Mixed Emotional Features (1999); and Aural & Hearty (2000), plus Enter The MoWo! (the debut title on his MoWo! Inc. imprint), where elements of jazz, funk and electronic music co-exist in a lively, refreshing fashion. Now he has taken on the project of Elvis Presley’s Burning Love song remix. The project initially started out as a 30-second remix for use in a Honda CR-V commercial for broadcast in Japan, however, it now being shown in the United States. According to Mocean Worker’s official website, it seems that he has completed a full length version for potential commercial release. The remix highlights Elvis’ vocals as well as the original bass and piano elements, embedded with a new feel good groove that fits in perfect with Elvis’ style. Let’s hope that SONY/BMG decides to commercially release this, and yet - - could this be part of a larger plan to release a full remix album? We’ll keep you posted on this.
