Thankyou for the notification. So it’s back to back Duran Duran videos, segued together for 3 hours?
I’d like to ask if this is one of the 40th ‘surprises’ that lay in store for the fans?
Finally, is this an official engagement?
I’ll be on the sofa ready. Thanks!

Hi and thanks for your comments, here's the scoop...
THE SET: Yes, all Duran Duran tracks for a full 3 hour set with a tiny sprinkle of Duran related/adjacent projects which could mix into the set. It was very complicated arrangement of videos and the set list is arranged as to what songs mix together.
I DJ professionally so I guarantee this is a perfectly seamless, beat, and pitch matched set with only a couple of tracks with a soft fade which is actually part of the sets journey.
Most of the tracks are redrummed and exclusive through licensed industry video pools... there are a couple of mixable singles included, but most are re-drummed or mixed tracks and the video quality is best available (480SD/720HD/1080HD).
CONTACT, YES, BUT: I have made DDHQ Social aware this is happening and discussed back/forth over the past months with no opposition and acknowledgment and understanding this is scheduled. I did not request a formal endorsement and felt it was more important to make them aware this is happening. There may or may not be event socialization to come from their team this week, we'll see.
THE TIME TO HONOR IS NOW!: My motivation was creating something which thus far simply has not happened. This dedicated populous keeps awaiting "a forty something" celebration. Soon June 15th (1981) will come and go. So June 12 is reserved for us to all gather virtually and celebrate their career and our dedication as supporters!
Cheers and I appreciate your sentiments, Mark (aka Diablo Rojo)

Hey, I appreciate that, thank you so much. I have actually foregone producing a promotional clip for the event due to the fear my efforts would be "silenced" on YouTube. If you are stream the event, be sure to stick around until the close. The set completes with one of the unreleased demos of "Thank You", against animated slides of the bands first press kit and tour book head shots. Then it leads into a discography graphics package with all song credits featuring the single or album cover associated and chart rankings in the US/UK, video producer, and record label. A ton of work, but a delighter for the collector. Here's a taste of one of those slides: Attachment DeletedDuran Wiki came in very handy to aggregate the bulk of stats. Such good work done at DD Wiki (big love to wiki).
