O This new, low-price, 2 CD and download compilation is part of EMI's global 'Electrospective' campaign launching this June, which comprehensively chronicles the development of Electronic music in terms of music, technology and culture from it's earliest roots in the late 1950s to the present day. The campaign will feature big name artist participation (David Guetta, Carl Cox, Midge Ure, Martyn Ware, Daniel Miller etc), live events, newly created merchandise, magazine / tech brand partnerships (Mojo, Mixmag, Future) and promotion via bespoke online / social media platforms. O the 24 track 2 CD collection charts the development of the remix from extended version to full re-construction. A journey by DJ that takes US from Heaven 17's extended reworking of their own seminal 'Penthouse And Pavement' single from '81 right through to mysterious London producers SBTRKT's re-make of Tinie Tempah's UK No.1 'Pass Out'. The album is a veritable who's who of remix culture. O 24 rare remix tracks - some seeing a commercial release for the first time - featuring some of electronic music's biggest names such as Heaven 17, Inner City, William Orbit, Depeche Mode, Daft Punk, Tinie Tempah. O Some of the key innovators in the history of the remix are featured including M&M, François Kevorkian, Larry Levan, Derrick May, Masters at Work, Deep Dish and Ewan Pearson.
