Remark Transmission (25th Anniversary Remaster).

About this episode

The episode revisits and remasters the original Remark Transmission mix from 2001, reflecting on the impact of global events and the therapeutic power of music.

Originally released in autumn 2001 — right after the September 11th attacks on the United States and the subsequent invasion of Afghanistan — Remark Transmission was my creative reaction to the war on terrorism and intense global tension of the time. The mix concluded with a haunting track called “Outgoing Transmission (We Break Easy)” that sampled worrying news clips from those uncertain times. Given the fascist hellscape we’re all living through now, I was inspired to revisit Transmission 25 years later and completely re-record and update the mix with samples from the current relentless news cycle we’re all suffering through daily. The rest of the mix is a driving, energetic, forceful progressive journey that channels intense emotion into euphoric release. Music is and continues to be my therapy and creation is the only way to combat destruction. The 2001 version of Transmission was never uploaded to the Remarkable Podcast — in fact, it’s the only official Remark mix that’s missing from the archive. As part of the celebrations this year marking 20 years of the Remarkable Podcast, I’m pleased to announce that this remastered version of Transmission now joins the series. Listen…
