DJ and producer Steve Lawler has remixed the title track for a new thriller movie called 'The Skeleton Key', which is due for release next month. Lawler was approached by the film's British director, Iain Softley, who was a fan of his work, and asked to create something special based on the soundtrack of the film. Softley explains: "The music is always a very important element of a film and in 'The Skeleton Key', the music carries a secret coded message that lies at the centre of the film's mystery. I wanted an underground and modern equivalent of this message and it struck me that Steve would be able to take it and run with it. Which he has - the track compliments the film perfectly. It's dark, tribal and hypnotic."
Despite its haunting theme, Lawler says the track will still be one for the dancefloor. He told CMU: "You can really go to town with a soundtrack because they use the best quality sound - using pro-tools and DBX -and when you listen to it, it's full on and so much sharper. When I got the track, it was like in a hundred parts and you could hear all kinds of things - nails scraping down blackboards, screams and there's a chilling lost tribal chant going on. I've really gone to town on that! It was nice to get some big tribal drums out again!"
