Message from PR Paul:

“A little story about the song "Satellite" on the occasion of it's having 55,000 views. To make a long story short a few weeks ago Carlo Imperato was on a flight to Italy when he was recognized by the flight attendant on ITA by the name of Gabriele.

When he saw Carlo, he greeted him with the shout of "Satellite!!!!! I LOVE THAT SONG! I HAVE BOTH VERSION'S. THE ORIGINAL AND THE REMIX"

A big hug and kiss to him and all of you that supported the song and us!!!!

Keep the peace. Love is the word.”
