Weekend Rewind: Michael Jackson – Hollywood Tonight (Chuckie Remix)

mj-hollywood-tonight-1024x1016

Before Afrojack remixed “Bad” for its 25th anniversary, Chuckie had been the exclusive electronic artist to have officially remixed a Michael Jackson record. Today’s weekend rewind turns back the clock 2 years to February 2011, when Chuckie got his hands on “Hollywood Tonight,” the first single that followed MJ’s tragic death. Combining Dirty Dutch bleeps with fashionable progression, Chuckie forms a radio friendly dance beat for the voice of the late king of pop.

Chuckie at Marquee NYC: Setting the tone for Wednesdays in the Big Apple

Marquee had been one of New York City’s most elegant nightclubs since opening shop in 2003, but 9 years later, the cerebral forces behind Tao, Lavo, and Avenue found that it was time for change. After closing its doors, word leaked that the Chelsea mainstay was under renovations that would acclimate around the rapidly growing demand for dance music talent. The calendar flipped to 2013 and Marquee was ready to go, and after a celebration for family and friends, Dubfire headlined the club’s public re-opening last Friday.

So, maybe Fridays would be the new night out for tech house admirers, but it was no secret that Wednesdays would be the new marquee (pun intended) night for club-goers and dance fanatics with Chuckie slated for the club’s inaugural hump-day affair.
