“In my world, the words ‘music’ and ‘dance’ are not separated. Electronic music has been a part of my life since the beginning of my career. I can honestly say that a DJ saved my life.” — Madonna, at the 2012 Ultra Music Festival
A couple of weekends ago, Madonna made a surprise appearance at the Ultra Music Festival in Miami to promote her new album, MDNA. Courting some controversy along the way, she introduced headliner Avicii, who premiered his remix of Madonna’s current single, “Girl Gone Wild.”
For those of us who weren’t in attendance that night, now there’s a HQ version of the Swedish DJ/producer’s moment in time with Madonna up on stage next to the decks.
The “Girl Gone Wild” remix package hasn’t yet been released to download services — they’re all “DJ only” at this point — but I’m sure it’s only a matter of days. I like Avicii’s mix, but I still prefer Offer Nissim’s rework.
