American DJ Viktor & Aussie Singer/Songwriter Jodi Phillis Team Up for "Life is Ours"
Los Angeles, CA, March 05, 2012 --(PR.com)-- New track "Life is Ours" from up-and-coming progressive house-music producer, Los Angeles native, Ben Phillis, known to his growing fan base as Viktor, features vocals by the multi-talented Aussie Jodi Phillis, tagged as a "national treasure" by Rolling Stone magazine. The big-room vibe of the mix is colored and completed by the singer’s soft but powerful song styling. Clearly an intuitive pairing – more even than this brother/sister team imagined– separated by a continent, a generation and several musical traditions, "Life is Ours" explodes with amazing force.
“I grew up kind of in awe of my big sister as a kid,” Viktor recalls. Phillis was in the chart-topping top Aussie rock/pop band The Clouds and The Dearhunters, released three solo albums and currently writes and arranges with the retro-sounding vocal quartet The Glamma Rays.
“I wanted truly outstanding vocals to give this track special life and knew Jodi’s voice would be perfect. I just sent her the rough mix and asked her to play with it. Her words and singing gave it so many added colors – it put it through the roof for me!
“I was really excited when I got the music and in just a few days had the vision. My husband, singer/songwriter Tim Oxley, and I recorded the vocals in our studio at home near Sydney, Australia and sent them over to Ben in the states. The reaction here and in Ben’s world of dance music has been great,” said Phillis.
