The story of this remix is...

Upon hearing Misty Holloway's - Far Far Away (Pakoussa Mix) in Episode 1 of "The Get Down" I immediately fell in love with the song and began looking for an online store I could buy it. I couldn't find it anywhere. I later discovered, that "Far Far Away" had been created to be a fictional tune based off Michael Kiwanuka's "Rule The World" just for that 50 secondish segment.

After a few weeks of listening to the tune through a recording off the TV, I checked the credits for the show and discovered that an Elliot Wheeler was the man in charge of the music for the show. I emailed him and he was kind enough to reply to my inquiry about this song that I just had to have.

He explained to me that the 50 second-ish segment of the song was all that existed and it would also seem, that I wasn't the only person in search of a full-length version.

Fast forward into the near future and I could no longer live without the song, so by my own volition, I took the 50 second-ish segment, placed it in Logic 9 and went to work, it was difficult to handle, but I think I came out with something fairly decent, something that extended the song, but most importantly didn't go about destroying everything I loved about it.

I then found footage from the trailers, as well as filming the animation parts from my phone and created a music video for the song.

To the delight of other people who also liked the song, this extended mix has been well received.
