CMU Approved
Approved: The Remix 10th anniversary
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 15 April 2010
It’s a whole ten years since Eddy Temple-Morris first appeared on Xfm playing the indie tracks that appeared on daytime nicely reworked for the dancefloor. Over the years, as well as playing thousands of amazing remixes, the show has also become known for being well ahead of the game when it comes to championing new genres, scenes and bands, and especially those genres and artists who crossover between the rock and dance genres.
The rise of breakbeat, the whole home-made mash up scene, and the re-emergence of synths in planet indie were all championed and documented by Eddy on The Remix. Meanwhile countless bands, artists and producers got some of their earliest airplay on the show. The Remix club night and all-nighters, and Eddy’s various Remix and Dance Rocks compilations, all followed. And there’s also a rather good spin-off e-bulletin, obviously.
This weekend, Xfm will celebrate The Remix’s tenth birthday by playing some of Eddy’s favourite remixes during daytime. There’s also a chance to become part of the next generation of bedroom producer talent to feature on the show, as the station is giving you the chance to win a full ProTools set-up, just by voting for your favourite from a list of Eddy-selected remixes from the last ten years.
And if you’ve never listened to the show before, now is a great time to start – last Friday’s show, which Eddy co-hosted with the legend that is Gary Numan, is on the Xfm Listen Again player until tomorrow, and tomorrow night’s show will be a special birthday celebration. Tune in from 10pm to 2am for that.
