Synopsis
Sash! perform "Encore Une Fois" in a stylized late-1990s dance setting built around a Cologne train station. Commuters and travelers move through the location in accelerated footage, while the performers appear among platforms, stairways, screens, and urban passageways. Intercut images of spinning records, a DJ surrounded by candles, and the station's restless movement give the video a kinetic, club-oriented feel. The result is less a narrative than a fast-moving visual companion to the track's relentless trance rhythm.
Factoids & Trivia
- The video was filmed at a train station in Cologne, Germany, matching the song's European club atmosphere with a busy public transit setting.
- Two video versions are associated with the single: one using the Original Edit and another using the Blunt Radio Edit, based on the Future Breeze remix.
- The Original Edit appeared on Sash!'s 10th-anniversary bonus DVD, while the alternate version was later circulated through the official Altra Moda Music video channel.
- "Encore Une Fois" features French vocals by German singer Sabine Ohmes, who was credited under the name Encore.
- The song was first released in 1996 and became a major international hit in 1997, reaching No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart.
- A pressing-plant error reportedly swapped the Original Edit and Future Breeze Edit on the first single pressing. The harder remix consequently gained unexpected prominence and became the version most associated with the release.
- The video reflects the period's visual language of sped-up commuters, oversized 12-inch records, rapid cutting, and dramatic candlelit performance setups.
