ANIM Count To Ten<\/u><\/h2>\n

Some tunes make such a profound and immediate impact on your senses that the moment you first heard them stays with you forever. Often it\u2019s a piece of music the like of which you have never encountered before, a unique vocal or lyric that can inspire everlasting magical memories.<\/p>\n

Anim Count To Ten<\/strong> is one such record. The latest crossover dance smash from Ireland is a refreshing pop epic which seizes your attention instantly with its distinctive, almost spiritual, a combination of melodies, lyrics and vocal.<\/p>\n

It is no surprise then to learn that the birth of ANIM’s record Count To Ten<\/a> began with a transcendental experience at the bohemian arts festival, Burning Man. In the middle of the Black Rock Desert in Nevada, Darren Rice set out at 5 am with his camera to capture a sunrise he would never forget. He likened it to a festival on the moon, the setting was spectacular and there was just a handful of others present.<\/p>\n

As they sat immersed in the splendour & shade of a giant pink unicorn-shaped vehicle, someone played a beautiful jazzy acoustic track that seemed\u00a0so poignant, so perfect.<\/p>\n

Rice had an overwhelming affinity with its heart and soul, a fellow reveler was even moved to tears by the raw beauty. Luckily for Rice, he was recording all of this on video and when a few days later he found himself still humming the melody, its contagious effect got him thinking about how this tune might work on a heaving dancefloor.<\/p>\n

Ricer, as he is known affectionately to friends, family and fans is not just a gifted aspiring photographer. His creative streak drove a hugely successful DJ career that saw him entertain the masses at many of Ireland\u2019s most cutting-edge clubs and forward-thinking festivals. He\u2019s also a notable independent radio host, podcast presenter, sneaker fiend, and style guru. A burning ambition was to take what he felt he\u2019d been gifted in the desert & produce it into a club banger.<\/p>\n

Enter Mark McCabe, a rare dance music producer who can craft underground house and techno jams with as much aplomb as he can propel a pop monster such as Gavin James\u2019s Nervous (The Ooh Song) to more than 160 million streams on Spotify alone.<\/p>\n

McCabe is another huge independent radio success story in his native Ireland, the latest string to a bow that includes being responsible for one of the top 10 biggest-selling Irish singles of all time with the hit \u201cManiac 2000\u201d, selling out clubs and headlining massive festivals as a DJ, not to mention a lengthy stint playlisting the national pop radio station RTE 2FM.<\/em><\/p>\n

The pair\u2019s work on Count To Ten has proved a fruitful team. \u00a0They clicked so harmoniously on the project that the potential for future releases and live performances seems too obvious and apparent to ignore.<\/p>\n

Early indications suggest that the tune has captured the imagination of both radio programmers and dancefloor dons alike. Plans are already afoot for a follow-up.<\/p>\n

Anim<\/a> also hopes to create their own transcendental moment by dropping Count To Ten at 6 am during one of the country\u2019s many famed summer festivals this year. It\u2019s a burning ambition.<\/p>\n","spotify_embed_type":"album","playlist":"","album":"7B6pi83oYolZDqcxK55dOW"},{"acf_fc_layout":"video","video_platform":"youtube","video":"gcDP9DXcKiM","facebook_video":"","video_caption":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"cta","copy":"Listen to COUNT TO TEN now","link":"https:\/\/UMI.lnk.to\/CountToTenWE","cta_copy_color":"#ffffff","alignment":"center"}],"block_type":"image-content","thumbnail_size":"height-2","image_thumbnail":{"ID":1277,"id":1277,"title":"ANIM Count to Ten","filename":"ANIM-Count-to-Ten.jpg","filesize":377772,"url":"https:\/\/umusic.ie\/backend\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ANIM-Count-to-Ten.jpg","link":"https:\/\/umusic.ie\/backend\/music-features\/introducing-anim\/anim-count-to-ten\/","alt":"ANIM Count to Ten","author":"1","description":"ANIM Count to Ten","caption":"ANIM Count to Ten","name":"anim-count-to-ten","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1214,"date":"2021-06-24 17:10:34","modified":"2021-06-24 17:14:23","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/umusic.ie\/backend\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":2560,"height":2334,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/umusic.ie\/backend\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ANIM-Count-to-Ten-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/umusic.ie\/backend\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ANIM-Count-to-Ten-300x274.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":274,"medium_large":"https:\/\/umusic.ie\/backend\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ANIM-Count-to-Ten-768x700.jpg","medium_large-width":525,"medium_large-height":479,"large":"https:\/\/umusic.ie\/backend\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ANIM-Count-to-Ten-1024x934.jpg","large-width":525,"large-height":479,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/umusic.ie\/backend\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ANIM-Count-to-Ten-1536x1400.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1400,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/umusic.ie\/backend\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ANIM-Count-to-Ten-2048x1867.jpg","2048x2048-width":2048,"2048x2048-height":1867,"twentyseventeen-featured-image":"https:\/\/umusic.ie\/backend\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ANIM-Count-to-Ten-2000x1200.jpg","twentyseventeen-featured-image-width":2000,"twentyseventeen-featured-image-height":1200,"twentyseventeen-thumbnail-avatar":"https:\/\/umusic.ie\/backend\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ANIM-Count-to-Ten-100x100.jpg","twentyseventeen-thumbnail-avatar-width":100,"twentyseventeen-thumbnail-avatar-height":100}},"display_tag":false,"related":[{"post":{"ID":416,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2018-07-21 22:19:29","post_date_gmt":"2018-07-21 22:19:29","post_content":"","post_title":"Mark McCabe Releases Brand New Track \u2018Over Me\u2019 Feat.
