Mark Ronson Curates Hard Rock CD Series
Acclaimed DJ/Producer Mark Ronson was enlisted to hand-pick a number of tracks for a limited edition CD series for Hard Rock Hotels and Casinos. The 14-song debut (see full track list below) will be available for purchase at all Hard Rock Hotel and Casino locations and online.
Ronson’s long and varied list of musical accomplishments include DJing NYC’s hottest spots in the early ‘90s; producing music for artists including Nikka Costa, Christina Aguilera, Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen, and Robbie Williams; recording his own critically acclaimed albums
Here Comes The Fuzz and
Version (an eclectic mix of cover songs including Kaiser Chiefs' "Oh My God" featuring guest vocals from Lily Allen, Coldplay's "God Put A Smile Upon Your Face", Britney Spears' "Toxic," Ryan Adams' "Amy" and Radiohead’s “Just.”)
The Hard Rock CD series will be released on Ronson’s own label, Allido Records, a subsidiary of Sony BMG's J Records. “Allido Records is a perfect partner for Hard Rock Hotels and Casinos,” said Andrea Melotti, Senior Director of Operations for Hard Rock Hotels and Casinos. “Ronson has taken relevant rock songs, the proverbial soundtrack of the Hard Rock brand, and produced a modern compilation that melds perfectly with the distinctive rock vibe of Hard Rock properties.”
Ronson also expresses enthusiasm for the project: “This is an exciting project for Allido because of Hard Rock's iconic stature as a brand and in Rock n' Roll culture…These compilations will deliver a unique and definitive collection of "modern" rock music for the new millennium”
