This was the 1990’s in all its ear-drum splitting glory and brand new Birmingham outfit T8PES has captured all that joy in 3 minutes of unbridled brilliance.
Over a Garage track with a 90’s rave edge come lyrics that will either transport you back or take you there for the first time. The track is called 'Flashback', just like the legendary Birmingham club night that started in 1997 and catered for those clubbers who wanted to go back to their glory days of early 90’s raves, when feelings of ecstasy were always in reach and breakbeats would create scorch marks on the dancefloors. T8PES said: "Flashback is a trip down that renowned lane of memories full of highs and lows, but mainly highs. The agony and ecstasy of misspent youth, tribal fever that came with 90's dance culture, the euphoric rush of togetherness that could only be found on the packed dancefloors of nightclubs and raves around the country. Everything comes with a label nowadays, ‘is it Garage, House, Dubstep?’ No mate, it's a nostalgic homage to a period of time that defined our lives. An era that is still well and truly alive in the hearts of many."
T8PES is something old and new, managing to revive and pioneer a sound that is woven into the fabric of British culture.
T8PES is you. T8PES is me. T8PES was there when you didn't even realise you were.
Creative Process…
The track is completely self produced with the music actually conceived back in 2014. I wrote the track in late 2016 just reminiscing on things that stood out from my youth and that special period of my life when I became completely immersed in rave and dance culture. We began making a video for it last year which took well over 6 months to make due to me going to New York, the directors being extremely busy with other projects, extreme weather forcing us to cancel shoots. The video really was a labour of love! But it was well worth it and we're really happy with the result.
