Superstar Mariah Carey gets DJ Anton Powers on request


Songstress Mariah Carey is famous as a woman who knows what she wants - and usually gets it. So when she made Liverpool DJ Anton Powers an offer, there was really no way he could refuse. The Juice FM and club favourite is one of the hottest properties in the country for remixes, in demand by huge names including The Black Eyed Peas, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, Alesha Dixon and The Saturdays.
But, he tells Insider, he wasn't taking on any new Cahill remixes so he could concentrate on his own tracks. "Then I got a call from our manager, Jon Barlow, late on a Saturday night saying Mariah Carey's label had called asking for us to remix her new single," explains Anton.
"Obviously I couldn't say no to her, the only issue was that if she didn't like the mix, it wouldn't get used and we wouldn't get paid! So we did the mix, sent it back to them, thankfully she liked it but said she wanted to redo the vocals to fit our mix. She went back in the studio (unfortunately in the USA and not with us) and re-did the vocals so it fits better on our mix, then she gave it the green light."
The result, Obsessed, is due out next month but ECHO DJ of the Year Anton's already been told that it's the label's favourite remix of the year. A diva? Insider thinks not.
