Remixed Slumdog... songs for the dance floor

New Delhi: The American girl band Pussy Cat Dolls are known for their sometimes cheeky pop and dance tunes that even got them a Grammy nomination for their 2005 self titled album.

But who would have imagined that our simple and far from cheeky composer A R Rahman is planning to team up with them to give his Oscar nominated track Jai Ho from Slumdog Millionaire a funky twist that would make it a fresh single all together.

Meanwhile, back home, musicians like Bandish Project are not waiting for Rahman's proposal to mix the soundtrack around. Ahmedabad boys Mayur Navekar and Udayan Sagar - who've spent a decade doing Asian electronica - have produced their own remix of Oh Saya as have a few other lesser known DJ's.

"There is potential in the track to reach out as a dance version," says Navekar.

These remixes and more have made their way to the decks of many clubs.

The score to Slumdog Millionaire is party hopping quite a bit along its way to the Oscars and if Rahman wins, not only will the party versions of its tracks multiply but DJ's and remixers will have probably be queuing up at Rahman's doorstep to let them take out an official remix album all together of the entire soundtrack.
