That's so catchy. Reminds Sunblock, Uniting Nations, Sunset Strippers, etc. Hence it gonna be massive. Possibly future tophit with proper promotion. Check it out!!! John Parr vs Tommy Knockers - New Horizon |

It depends on what label it is (or will be) signed I guess. Manifesto, Loaded, Gut or Data (AATW & Positiva are unlikely to sign this tune) are able to make a tophit out of this.
How do you like it Manick?

John Parr Vs Tommyknockers ‘New Horizon’ UK release 8th May 2006
Hotly tipped to become the dance track of the year Tommyknockers’ ‘New Horizon’ was originally a massive hit for John Parr in 1985. Released under its original name of ‘St Elmo’s Fire (Man In Motion)’, and the theme song from the film St Elmo’s Fire, the Grammy nominated song became a #1 hit around the world.
Following in the footsteps of Eric Prydz’ ‘Call On Me’ and Uniting Nations’ ‘Out Of Touch’ Tommyknockers (Lost Witness’ Si Paul & Dirty Rotten Scoundrels’ Dan Bewick) have taken the essence of the 80s and brought it back up to date. New Horizon was initially the idea of AJ Richardson, a fledgling DJ/producer and also Si’s tenant, who played a 30 second demo to Si and the rest, as they say, is….well….a huge record.
The original song was written by John Parr and David Foster and, whilst David’s publishers Warner Chappell had cleared the sample, EMI had yet to clear John’s share in the song. So Si set about tracking him down but was helped when Vibe FM picked up on the track and added it to their A list. John Parr heard the song and thought it was so good he not only gave permission to use the samples, he even re-recorded his vocals.
Si Paul has 4 Top 40 hits under the name of Lost Witness and is the man behind One Hit Wonder ‘Grace Of God (DMC & Music Week Club Chart No 1) and the Eden Project. Tommyknockers sees Si teaming up for the first time with Dan Bewick – one half of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (‘People Hold On’ – Dirty Rotten Scoundrels v Coldcut).
‘New Horizon’ is released on Gusto Records (Hi_Tack ‘Say, Say, Say’, Filterfunk ‘SOS’ & Uniting Nations) with club mixes to cater for all: the original Tommyknockers club mix is accompanied by remixes by Eden Project, Human Outlaw and G.H.E Electro.
