I’m hugely impressed with the epic music video/mini-series that director Saman Keshavarz has come up with to promote Russ Chimes’ new Midnight Club EP, due to be released later this month on Eye Industries.
It’s a large undertaking that could have gone either way, but I think they’ve done a great job with respect to narrative and visuals while somehow managing to keep the music as the main focal point. I’m not going to spoil the surprise(s), so have a look at the first act below to get started! The finale, Targa, is the standout of the lot in my opinion.
Chimes has been on my radar for nearly two years, and his remixes and original productions continue to improve with every subsequent release. He’s the only British member of the wonderfully-named Valerie Collective, a group of French artists and producers who yearn for the synth-laden and majestic dance tracks of the 1980s.
Couple of tracks below. Like what you hear? Check out Russ Chimes on SoundCloud and Facebook.
