DJ aims to help Elvis topple Fab Four

A Dutch DJ is worried he'll upset Beatles fans if his Elvis Presley remix goes to number one.

A Dutch DJ is worried he'll upset Beatles fans if his Elvis Presley remix goes to number one.

JXL's reworking of A Little Less Conversation is released today after featuring in Nike TV adverts.

If it tops the charts it means Elvis will have had a record-breaking 18 number ones.

That's one more than The Beatles.

The 34-year-old Amsterdam-based DJ and producer said: "It is weird to think that I could be responsible for Elvis making chart history. I hope I don't end up upsetting too many Beatles fans.

Junkie XL, real name Tom Holkenborg, says it's a great honour to be the first person to get Elvis's estate's official seal of approval.

"I can only guess why they have let me be the first person to officially remix an Elvis track. I think it could be because it is a pretty obscure track and I have left the original song intact. You have got to treat the voice of Elvis with respect," he said.

His Elvis remix faces competition from Kylie's new single Love At First Sight.

"I wasn't one of those boys who used to have a poster of Kylie on my bedroom wall but I have always been a big fan of hers. Can't Get You Out Of My Head is an amazing track and I'm still a huge fan," said Tom.
