Positiva heads into 2007 with a little something for the party season. The UK`s biggest dance label has gone for the jugular, bringing new and old ears alike the only official remix of Blondie`s `Heart Of Glass`, courtesy of Edison, aka Andy Chatterley. Currently rocking the DJ sets of Pete Tong, Annie Mac, and a host more, expect this to be one of the biggest anthems come New Year`s Eve.

Whether you know him as The Droyds, Demeter, EVE3000, or one half of Buick Project and Skylark with Nic Fancuili, you`ll know Chatterley is one of the most respected producers on the scene, with a pedigree that stretches back through the Noughties and Nineties. He`s recently remixed Muse, and produced up and coming bands, Deaf Stereo, Motormark, and Blondelle.

Almost peerless, Blondie were arguably the most influential group of the late 1970`s New York new wave scene, and scored hits with reggae, rock/disco, and hip hop. Their contribution to electronic music and the wider spheres of pop culture is immense. Be it the music, an intoxicating mix of guitars and electronic elements, or their style aesthetic (you only have to walk through London`s East End to see the latter) they`ve had an enduring appeal that has earned them a permanent place in club culture - from Studio 54 through to today`s electro scenes dotted across the globe. Following a prestigious nomination into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, it`s also the band`s 30th anniversary this year (2006).

Blondie`s `Heart Of Glass` first began life in the early 1970`s as a rock song, before evolving into a different beast as the band continued to tour and became influenced by early electronic artists such as Kraftwerk. The track then appeared on their fourth album, `Parallel Lines`, it was then a UK and a US No.1 single in 1979, selling over a million copies in the UK. Its synth heavy sound and the inimitable vocal from Harry make it one of their most popular songs, and one that each ensuing generation has picked up on.

Edison has dusted off this classic, faithfully retouched it, and given it an edge for contemporary dancefloors (accordingly, Blondie`s original video has been recut to the new version). Alongside the original mix is a dub mix for deeper floors, the Electro Disco retake, and a stunning remix courtesy of Soul Avengerz` Quattro guise.
