Pavel Kim, a new and aspiring filmmaker from Russia has won a competition to be the director of the new music video for International producer/DJ Avicii‘s F1 inspired track, ‘Speed’ (burn® & Lotus F1® Team Mix), produced together with burn energy drink.
Budding filmmakers and video directors from over 29 countries submitted their video entries for the track in a partnership with Talenthouse, a creative platform for up and coming artists.
Pavel’s video, titled ‘Midnight Race’, imagines F1 in 2077 and brings to life the adrenaline and pace of Avicii’s track ‘Speed’ (burn® & Lotus F1® Team Mix). As two cars tear around a dark track Pavel’s video shows that none of the thrill of excitement of Formula 1 has been lost with the introduction of new technology.
Offering a global showcase for Pavel Kim’s work, the winning video will be premiered on Avicii’s Vevo page, the burn® YouTube and Facebook channels on November 4, 2013.

Avicii releases his ‘Speed’ and ‘Reggae’ remixes of ‘Wake Me Up’!
Since “Wake Me Up” was released as an instant worldwide hit, everyone from bedroom amateurs to Pitbull have attempted to pass of edits off Avicii’s single. This week, however, Avicii has released the track’s official remixes, coming from none other than himself. The first is his ‘Speed’ mix, an apparent mastered bootleg of “Wake Me Up” and “Speed,” his promo for Burn & Lotus F1 that fits the original mold perfectly. The latter rendition is just as distant from the electronic status quo as the folk flare that’s inspired it. It’s Tim’s ‘Reggae’ remix, and it gives “Wake Me Up” yet another bright color for its palette.

Avicii Premieres His New Track for Lotus F1; “Speed” (Burn & Lotus F1 Team Mix) [Free Download]
Lighting his way to the top of music charts around the world, international acclaimed Producer/DJ Avicii has announced a new collaboration withLotus F1 Team. Fuelled by burn, the new track will interpret Lotus F1 Team’s experiences in motorsport and will take inspiration from the human emotion of the drivers, the ebb and flow of the race and the intensity of the atmosphere at the racetrack.
In order to develop the new track, Avicii will immerse himself in the world of F1 by visiting Lotus F1 Team at their Enstone home for an intensive course in Formula 1. The DJ will take to the track with Lotus F1 Team drivers, record their heartbeats and tap into the emotions of the race before translating his findings into music.
He premiered the new track yesterday at the Burn Yard at Budapest.
The production itself does exactly what Avicii said it would do. It’s got alot of acoustic elements, which signifies Avicii’s newest experimental style. It starts off with a serene paino chord and guitar riff breakdown, showcasing the driver’s concentration and preparation before getting behind the wheel. The build up has got a more intense piano chord progression and gives way to a melodic synth riff layered at the drop with a string elements. The second breakdown features an overdrive electric guitar. Till it goes right back to the breakdown.
Avicii had said this about the production: “Lotus F1 Team are very passionate. They want to win every race and they are always looking for creative solutions to get them in front. This is exactly how I like to approach making music. The races are very intense so I am working with Lotus F1® Team to explore the complex emotions of the drivers and how they feel when they are behind the wheel. That is the emotion that I am trying to capture with this new track and hopefully we will inspire a new set of people to think a bit differently and explore their own creative talents.”
