✦ My Name Is Prince (Remixes) – Maxi‑Single EU: Nov. 1992

A boastful NPG anthem reimagined for the clubs with hip‑hop, house, and hardcore swagger

✦ Summary

Released across Europe on November 2, 1992, the My Name Is Prince remix maxi‑single expanded the second single from the Love Symbol album into a full‑scale club experience. Issued on Paisley Park/Warner Bros. Records in both 12-inch vinyl and CD formats, the release showcased Prince and the New Power Generation’s early ’90s fusion of hip‑hop bravado, industrial funk, and house‑leaning production.

The remixes — crafted by Keith “KC” Cohen, Greg Royal, and Steve Beltran — amplified the track’s swagger with extended breakdowns, harder beats, and dance‑floor‑ready arrangements. The single reached No. 7 on the UK Singles Chart, spending six weeks in the Top 40, and remains one of the most iconic remix packages of the Love Symbol era.

✦ Glam Flashback

The My Name Is Prince remix maxi‑single is Prince at his most swaggering — a declaration of identity reframed for the dance floor. These remixes pushed the track into harder, club‑ready territory, blending hip‑hop, house, and industrial funk into a sound that defined the early ’90s NPG aesthetic. It’s a snapshot of Prince embracing new sonic identities while asserting the one thing that never changed: his command of the groove.
