 DJ Mike Cruz's remix of film composer Ebony Tay's provocative end title theme to Tommy Stovall's critically acclaimed independent film "Hate Crime" from becoming one of this summer's most unforgettable dance floor hits.

"Jesus By 45" was the second highest entry on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play Chart for the week ending September 2, 2005, hitting #43 with a bullet (indicating expected continued ascent). The controversial song's Top 50 success on this chart marks a landmark achievement for an indie recording.

Back when Tay -- now a co-producer on the film, which made its Los Angeles premiere July 15 at The Regent Theatre The Regent Theatre is the name of several theatres in various cities. These include the following: In Australia

"I have a huge educational background in Shakespeare, and I loved his use of double entendre," Tay added. "So the 45 is both a gun and a record. Tommy wrote the lyrics based on the character's troubles. The song has to do with people wanting to commit suicide Verb 1. commit suicide - kill oneself; "the terminally ill patient committed suicide"

Fans and foes of the song will soon be able to experience it in a more visual way via the video, which is scheduled to be shot soon by John Landrum, a director whose credits included modern rockers Radiohead.

The film is already a hit on the independent film festival circuit, including the prestigious Palm Springs Film Festival.

In addition to her ongoing involvement on the musical, production and promotional sides of "Hate Crime," Tay has been hard at work this summer at Capitol Studios, mixing her long-awaited independent debut CD "Stories of the Firehorse."
