<anthems - the background>

For those not affiliated, this is a feature-length documentary / VJ mix of original visuals, promo videos, vinyl / CD artwork and running commentary over the finest Old Skool / House / Trance / Techno / Electro tracks collected, recorded, tried, tested and remixed over the last 20 years. Very Channel 4. Only better.

<the original version>

Was circulated on DVD and partially completed footage was uploaded on Google Video in 2007. Since then, it’s been watched online thousands of times – even bootlegged and uploaded by others onto their websites. Other likeminded DJs and clubbers have gone on to compile their own countdowns in a very similar format (how cool: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1yfzx4-ffo).

The combined audio and video footage took months to put together, but the results were amazing – especially watching it lights out with a few mates, projected full size onto a wall using an OHP. Volume rather high. You get the picture.

<remastered version>

Completely reworked in Adobe After Effects and Premiere from scratch, taking another 5 months to produce. Essentially, this is a countdown of original / enhanced music videos back-to-back in a 90 minute montage. The countdown currently gets down to #13, with the remaining 12 following on soon...

<exclusive remixes>

As well as paying homage to some amazing tunes, the countdown is also scattered with a sprinkling of exclusive Epicentre and Seismic Waves remixes, to tip the hat to some of the artists and producers that have encouraged us to produce their style of music. We had great fun working on these tracks, and from the feedback we've had you seem to have given them a thumbs up too!

<teaser tracks>

As part of the buildup to the release of the remastered version, the following teaser tracks just outside the 50 were circulated. All of them are still firm favourites of mine.
