about

This is a remix of the System F track "Dance Valley Theme 2001" I originally did for a contest Ferry Corsten was sponsoring in 2010. This track was essentially the birth of "TMJ" as a secondary stage persona, one meant to be used for remixes and mash-ups. This is also one of the first times I went all out in an attempt to sound as inhuman as possible, adding more and more vocal effects until I felt it sounded just right. If nothing else, I'm proud of the actual verses I added to this track, the introduction of TMJ and an industrial warping of the Star-Spangled Banner which basically encompass everything I was trying to accomplish with this phase of SaviorSelf.07.05.98

lyrics

Are you ready?
Are you ready for a new sensation?
Are you ready?

A long time ago
in a system far away
came a boy named TMJ
brought some dance beats along the way

With nothing more than a dream and a sound
the young man mixed every night and day
until he finally broke away
and made Europop the American Way

Oh say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
O! say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Are you ready?
Are you ready for a new sensation?
Are you ready?
