Black Boots – Flash of Light (Official Video)

Stefan — Sun, 03 Feb 2013 20:40:16 +0000

Earlier this week, indie-electronic dance duo Black Boots released a new video for their new single “Flash of Light”. A follow up to their breakout single “Rebels in the Night” that launched them into the spotlight and topping many people’s “artists to watch in 2013″ lists, Black Boots bring a new sound to the electronic dance music with their melodic vocals and guitar hooks that blends the indie rock with electronic dance in perfect harmony.

The video was directed by Jeremy Cloe and features a unique, first-person point-of-view which transports the viewer deep into the dangerous world of Black Boots. The video tells the story of one member of the Black Boots movement who is captured and contained in a laboratory in an attempt to erase his memory and regain control of his thoughts in accordance with the repressive rules of this futuristic dystopian society.

The best of the best from our office this week.

MARISSA: Dada Life – So Young So High (Dillon Francis Remix)
I know we already reviewed it but I’m obsessed with the Dillon Francis remix of So Young So High. Definitely going to be one of my anthems of 2013…

ERIKA: Jamie Jones- Our Time in Liberty ft. Art Department

BEN: Flume ft. Jezzabell Doran – Sleepless
I know this has been out for a minute and remixed several times but Flume is the man.

CHLOE: Tropicool – Long Drags & Winter Shags Mixtape
Some seasonal slow jams… nice change of pace from the every day nst nst.

JEROME: Nelski – Yeah, Not Gonna (Rene Amesz Rework)
#techyes!

Not new but I’ve been listening to a lot of Purity Ring lately and this is my favorite track at the moment.

STEFAN: Justin Martin – Don’t Go (Dusky Remix)

SARAH: Rockers – Kill The Noise
I’m always down for new KTN.

Tired of hearing the same music everywhere? Let us share some of our personal favs with you! Check out our picks of the week:

MARISA: AZEALIA BANKS – No Problems
I love this new track that Machinedrum produced with rapper Azealia Banks.

BEN: FKJ – Lying Together
FKJ killed it on this one.

LAURA: DENZAL PARK – Amarok

CHLOE: DAVID JONES – Rhythm Alive (Federico Scavo Remix)
Omg. Such a jam!

VANESSA: OLIVER – MYB
First heard this song on the Hard Day of the Dead recap video, and now A-Trak has started off his January Fool’s Gold Radio mix with it. Oliver’s “M.Y.B.” is fire and I can’t wait for the EP to come out this month on Fool’s Gold Records.

RUSSELL: ARTY’s Together We Are 026 – Maor Levi Guest Mix
This Maor Levi mix is legit.

MELISSA: NICKY ROMERO & NERVO – Like Home (Dillon Francis Remix)
Not a new song, but I have been obsessed with this remix.

STEFAN: RUSS CHIMES – 5 Minute Mini Mix
I simply have to go with this, I’ve never been so excited by a short mix… 5 minutes, 29 tracks. Seamless and amazing. I love Russ Chimes. I’m just gonna go ahead and name it my favorite mix of 2013. Or all time.

SARAH: CRIZZLY – 1 2 Cake Cake ft. Steve Aoki (Crizzly Remix)
A guilty pleasure that keeps getting stuck in my head…

JESSICA: SANDER VAN DOORN – Joyenergizer
