XMH Press Statement
XMH Press Statement

Of course everyone will remember the tragedy at last year’s Loveparade in Duisburg, Germany. Well known DJ’s Paul Oakenfold, Armin van Buuren and Paul van Dyk recorded the song ‘Remember Love’ under the name DJ’s United, to help out the victims of the tragedy.

But… the basic melody line from the song ‘Remember Love’ is exactly the same melody from the song ‘Global Killer’ written by dutch dark electro band XMH. The song ‘Global Killer’ comes from the XMH debut album ‘Time To Play’ released in 2007 and went to nr. 2 in the Dutch Underground Charts. The song ‘Global Killer’ was a big hit in southern European clubs. Especially the ‘Global Killer Remix’ by DJ Led Manville was and still is a club favorite in Spain.

Because XMH shares the deepest sympathy with all the victims and their loved ones, XMH thinks it’s inappropriate to take legal actions against DJ’s United.

pinching a good melody for your own uses is nothing new, so im not so sure its a bad thing, even given its origins.
