New Music: Baher's Interstellar Remix

Mind-boggling space odyssey Interstellar was nominated for a slew of sound-related Oscars including a nod for Best Original Score for Hans Zimmer's eerie musical creation. Local favourite and Nacelle resident Baher took on the challenge of turning the film's epic theme song into a dance remix for the first time, his own "4 x 4 interpretation" of the movie's music.
