Universal have set an August 7th release date for Rob Zombie's new remix album, Mondo Sex Head.The remix album will feature new and unique remixes of Rob Zombie classics by some of today's top DJs, including KoRn's Jonathan "JDevil" Davis ("Thunder Kiss '65"), Photek ("Living Dead Girl"), Document One ("Let It All Bleed Out"), Ki:Theory ("Foxy Foxy" & "Pussy Liquor"), Big Black Delta ("More Human Than Human"), aka Chino of Deftones ("Dragula"), Das Kapital ("Lords of Salem"), Drumcorps ("Never Gonna Stop"), former Glitch Mob member Kraddy ("Superbeast") and the Bloody Beetroots ("Burn"), among others.
"I like the idea of taking songs and reconfiguring them," says Zombie about the album, who is taking an alternative approach in the digital retail space. The album will be preceded by two separate, digital-only EPs, with tracks taken from Mondo Sex Head and exclusive bonus tracks.
Mondo Sex Head was curated and executive produced by Jason Bentley, Music Director at L.A.'s KCRW and Electronic Dance Music expert. Richard Bishop, co-executive producer of RE:GENERATION music project and documentary film, supervised the project. Each track was hand selected by Rob Zombie who road-tested many of the songs in his car, driving the L.A. streets.
Throughout his career, iconic music artist and auteur filmmaker Rob Zombie has continuously challenged audiences as he stretches the boundaries of music, film and publishing. Zombie, who has sold over fifteen million albums worldwide and has earned seven Grammyฎ nominations, is no stranger to repurposing his work, cross-fertilizing his fan base and generally pushing the limits of modern-day art. Over the years he has worked with outside DJs, remixers and producers starting with the 1992 remix of White Zombie's first-ever, MTV-fueled hit, "Thunder Kiss '65."
