Remix Statement

“Take the brilliant music of Snowbombing and combine it with the jaw dropping wow factor of Tignesfest, throw in Xfm's The Remix rocking dance music programming, and Secret Garden Party's charm, and you have the recipe for a truly unforgetable holiday experience.”

Eddy Temple Morris November 2008

 

Since launching The Remix, Xfm ’s legendary (and Sony Award nominated) crossover radio show/club night eight   years ago , Eddy Temple-Morris has become the undisputed champion not just of genre-hopping but of genre- breeding , slipping enough pills into dance music’s pint until it finds itself curled up in the corner of the room with rock’s dangly bits in its mouth. Nominated for a Sony Award , The Remix was the first of its kind to dedicate a show completely to remixes, bootlegs and the work of up and coming producers whilst simultaneously becoming the flagship for a completely new genre of dance rock crossover. It was the first in the world to debut the work of acts such as Pendulum, Reverend and The Makers, Kasabian, Mylo, Paul Epworth, The Freelance Hellraiser and Jacknife Lee . The show is now the biggest specialist show on Xfm and the only one that is mainlined into XFM’s national broadcasting network.

 

After seven years as Cargo’s leading monthly club night The Remix All-Nighter was borne out of a desire to host all the styles of music from the show under one roof as a spectacular club night. The first Remix All Nighter was on May 26 ^th 2007 spread over three arenas at seOne   in London Bridge and was an instant sell out. Befitting the status of The Remix as one of the most eclectic and influential shows on air and as one of the most successful and longest running club nights in London , the line up as you would expect was world class.   The second event on September 14 ^th 2007 superseded all expectations, selling out before the event with Kitsune label hosting an arena together with an international array of established and up and coming artists over 3 other arenas.

 

On March 20 ^th 2008 The Remix All Nighter presented the Ninjatune Arena , the legendary Phil Hartnoll co-founder of Orbital, performing a five hour DJ and VJ set plus The Whip, Vitalic, Busy P, Bonobo and many more world class performers.   Every single aspect of this night pointed to an absolute classic and it was with over 3000 people attending the night.   

 

All these nights were recorded and packed full of interviews and sound bites and highlights of all the artists sets were broadcast on XFM as A Remix Special following on from the events.

 

Plans are in place for two more London events in 2009 followed by events in Manchester , Glasgow and Cardiff in 2009, a club tour and festival appearances.
