John "00" Fleming explains:
"Both myself and Ricky (The Digital Blonde) have been huge fans of Jean Michel Jarre for many years. JMJ was responsible for getting us both into electronic dance music in the early 1980s when we were both still at school. Jean Michel Jarre's music was futuristic, it was groundbreaking, in such a way it created a WOW factor when you heard these space age sounds created by one man. He is the man responsible for leading me down the path that took me where my career is today. He is the reason for my obsession with synthesized music. In fact, I believe JMJ, unknowingly, played a part in making the electronic scene what it is today."

About the way the remixes are made Fleming says:
"We wanted to tastefully bring the track up to date. In this commercial world, we've all seen artists/labels cashing in on remaking old classics and completely trashing them just to make some quick cash. We have done the complete opposite. We simply wanted to bring the track up to date in a specialist electronic dance version. We are both known for our serious take on electronic dance music, so we've kept our proud and honourable tag truly in place by keeping this remake as a serious piece of music (like the original was). It would kill me to hear Oxygene with a cheesy leadline and vocal on top."

The EP with the remixes was released on September 1st through iTunes, Beatport and other download stores.
