Remark presents The Remarkable Podcast.

In 2016, Remark presents Pet Shop Boys: Encomium 1986–2016 was released to celebrate 30 years of Pet Shop Boys. Recorded live in Edinburgh for the event Pet Shop Boys Symposium, the continuous DJ mix featured more than three hours of remixed hits spanning every album across their multi-decade career. Whilst many notable tracks were included, some significant favourites were inevitably missed. So in 2018 the duo’s remarkable catalogue was revisited and Encomium II debuted — packed with additional hits, rarities, remixes, and collaborations. Encomium I and II remain among the some of the most-listened-to mixes ever featured on Remark’s Soundcloud and The Remarkable Podcast.

Fast forward to 2026 and we’re now celebrating 40 years of Pet Shop Boys’ contributions to music, art, pop, and the dance floor. Recently this most successful British pop duo of all time have been touring globally with their Dreamworld concert, and in April they’re performing an exclusive London event called Obscure, dedicated to rarities, exclusives, and B-sides. What better way to mark the occasion than releasing Remark presents Pet Shop Boys: Encomium III — featuring even more hits, remixed deep cuts, b-sides, and material from the years since the previous Encomium releases. This four-hour remarkable journey explores iconic tracks, obscure mixes, and a deep dive into the duo’s expansive four-decade catalogue.

This second selection is from November 2025, called “Shadow Flow”.

Originally released in autumn 2001 — right after the September 11th attacks on the United States and the subsequent invasion of Afghanistan — Remark Transmission was my creative reaction to the war on terrorism and intense global tension of the time. The mix concluded with a haunting track called “Outgoing Transmission (We Break Easy)” that sampled worrying news clips from those uncertain times.

 
Given the fascist hellscape we’re all living through now, I was inspired to revisit Transmission 25 years later and completely re-record and update the mix with samples from the current relentless news cycle we’re all suffering through daily. The rest of the mix is a driving, energetic, forceful progressive journey that channels intense emotion into euphoric release. Music is and continues to be my therapy and creation is the only way to combat destruction.
 

The 2001 version of Transmission was never uploaded to the Remarkable Podcast — in fact, it’s the only official Remark mix that’s missing from the archive. As part of the celebrations this year marking 20 years of the Remarkable Podcast, I’m pleased to announce that this remastered version of Transmission now joins the series.

Over two years in the making, Remark Arkitech finally sees the light of day. A layered and driving dance floor odyssey, it charts the full spectrum of progressive house — weaving together shimmering gems of the genre that pulsate with late-night energy. There are moments when a vocal track will lift you up from the depths…only to plunge you again into the depths of rhythmic sound. Arktiech resonates with you during the entire aural adventure, and the meticulously curated, tectonic sonic structure lingers long after its nearly five-hour journey ends.
