Edmonton, Canada (Top40 Charts/ Skylar Entertainment) - Alberta-based
Audio Playground has released their second single 'Shadows' in Canada which is already Top 10 on Billboard's Dance/Electronic
Digital Song Sales chart. The first single "(A Little) Respect," a remake of the new-wave hit by British synthpop duo Erasure, had over 19,500 units sold and was No 1 in Canada on the single sales chart for 7 weeks being trailed by international stars Lady Gaga, Madonna, The
Black Eyed Peas and U2.
Audio Playground will be featured in the Holiday issue of U.S. based Spin Magazine.
Audio Playground is the latest collaboration between Canadian producers Rubix & DRC and singer Anthony Gitto. Formed in 2009 as a dance music project, artistic and business ingenuity helped the band accomplish an unexpected crossover into pop. "(A Little) Respect" has been included in popular dance music compilations such as Universal Music Canada's "Clubland"-the equivalent of the popular British CD series.
The group's new single "Shadows," comes in an EP with seven various pop, rhythmic and club versions. The trio surrounded itself with some of the world's top remixers to generate a broad array of "Shadows" for different audiences. Versions by Digital Dog and Bimbo Jones from the U.K. and Tracy Young & Mike Rizzo from the U.S. are featured alongside Latin influenced rhythms by initial collaborators Berrios, Douglas and Taylor-Weber.
Audio Playground has an album in the works and the band spends its time commuting between Toronto, New York, Los Angeles and their label's Western Canadian home base. They are also collaborating with other chart topping singers in some of their penned releases while also spicing up the lyrics to their songs with lines in Spanish, French and other languages.
Topping the sales charts seems like an easy task for this Canadian trio, which may now secure a top spot on the Billboard charts with "Shadows."
