As Gareth Emery curled up with his popcorn, the closing credits began to roll for The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
Accompanying the scrolling names of contributors was the track “Stay Alive” by José González. The next two days were spent spinning the melodic original into an electronic version fit for his live sets.
The track gained traction after being featured as the ‘Download of the Week’ on Emery’s radio show Electric For Life before being made available as a free download through his SoundCloud channel.
