MUMBAI: Audio Playground is the latest collaboration between Canadian producers Rubix & DSL and singer Anthony Gitto. Originally, Audio Playground was a dance music project. But artistic and business ingenuity helped the band accomplish an unexpected crossover into pop, and never looked back!
The trio’s initial line up came together in June of 2009 and immediately burned up the music charts and the dance floor with its first single ‘(A Little) Respect,’ a remake of the new-wave hit by British synth-pop duo Erasure. Their debut song topped the Canadian singles sales charts, remaining in the #1 spot for six consecutive weeks; It has proven to be a best seller on iTunes and been included in popular dance music compilations such as Universal Music Canada’s ‘Clubland’–the equivalent of the popular British CD series. Not bad for a new act’s debut.
Audio Playground’s latest hit ‘You Never Know (Could You Be Loved)’ is a creative reworking of the Bob Marley reggae classic ‘Could You Be Loved.’ Infused with a dance/reggae backbeat and a strong pop-vocal arrangement, the track is elevated to new heights with a rap feature from the one and only Snoop Lion (formally Snoop Dogg). Poised to be a true pop power-house, ‘You Never Know (Could You Be Loved)’ has peaked at #5 on the Billboard Dance/Club Charts.
