[Music Video] Vargas & Lagola – Dolores (The Awakening)

Posted by Tyler Trew - May 13, 2017

We love music videos that are created by individuals who aren’t trying too hard for something. Over-the-top videos seem to becoming a staple in electronic music, but Vargas & Lagola don’t seem to care. That’s totally fine with us as the music video for their song “Dolores (The Awakening)” is beautifully stunning and just about as simple as you can get.

If the duo were going for a classy, but stylish music video, then they nailed it. They rely on the beauty of nature, in particular flowers, to entertain the viewer. That is, until they make a surprising switch to a different set of home video images that definitely isn’t what you expect, but it fits. The energetic song whisks you through these images, disregarding any expectations you have. It’s a ride and you’re just along for it. Want a copy of the track? It’s out on digital services today.

[Music Video] ATLiens – Alchemy

Posted by Tyler Trew - May 10, 2017

The trap lords known as ATLiens have a new single out, along with a mystifying music video for it. Their bass-booming single “Alchemy” is colossal, with just the right vibe to take over sets this festival season. Released independently, “Alchemy” is something labels missed out on, but you don’t have to. It’s here in full with a visual component that is highly entertaining.

A lot of dance music videos that come out now go for the shock and awe factor. That’s totally fine, but it all feels too similar. With ATLiens we get something different, but it still excites the viewer without being over-done. Tasteful and intriguing, this music video is incredible from start to finish, moving through a story with some interesting characters. The entire project and all its little details are done very well, showing that ATLiens can do it all on their own, no need for a label.

Henri PFR – Flames [TMN Premiere]

Posted by Tyler Trew - May 5, 2017

Everyone loves emojis, except for some old people who can’t seem to figure them out. In today’s premiere of Henri PFR‘s music video for “Flames” we get a barrage of emojis in a simple, yet cool animation. Released through Sony Music, this single lives up to it’s name as it is certainly a hot one.

However, since the song abides by the future bass sound, cool might be a better word to describe it. Regardless of what wording we choose, just know “Flames” is a great record. The music video works as a lyric video, but instead of words, the lyrics play out in emojis. It’s a playful video that we ninjas have had the honor of hosting for you in this premiere. Enjoy the first viewing and make sure to grab a copy of “Flames” from digital stores today.

JX RIDERS – Hiccup (Feat. Sisterwife) [TMN Premiere]

Posted by Tyler Trew - May 5, 2017

Two names you may be familiar with are the Grammy winning Dave Audé and the Lady Gaga collaborator Martin Kierszenbaum. Their work separately has given them world-wide recognition and now they have come together for the project JX RIDERS. We’ve welcomed them to the dojo to premiere their brand new single AND music video of “Hiccup” featuring Sisterwife.

As you can tell from “Hiccup” these artists know how to put together a hit. Catchy doesn’t begin to describe how memorable “Hiccup” is. The poppy, deep house driven record is just what the duo need to bring their project the recognition each producer has on their own. With the animated music video, it’s equally as indelible with its striking, colorful imagery. Enjoy a first glimpse and listen to “Hiccup” here in the dojo and if you like what you are hearing, then you can grab a copy from iTunes.

Kai Straw – Hurricane (Music Video) [TMN Premiere]

Posted by Alisha Wieckmann - May 1, 2017

Back in 2016 we had the pleasure of sharing with you an amazing album, Toothpick, from the San Francisco artist Kai Straw. One of the songs off the LP, “Hurricane” was overwhelmingly the #1 hit on the album, something that came as a bit of a surprise given the album’s more upbeat, radio-friendly songs. However, we and fans fell in love with it and to signify the end of the Toothpick era, Kai is delivering a music video for the single in this Music Ninja Premiere.

After this comes another album, but we’ll focus on the music video at hand. Directed by Kai Straw himself, the video for “Hurricane” is a tasteful, minimalist set of images that really connect well, as it seems Kai is singing directly to you in a 1-on-1 session. In getting up close and personal, Kai opens himself up to the audience in a way he has rarely done before, which goes to show just how far he has come as an artist and person. Check out the video below and if you haven’t checked out the full EP, do so and grab a copy to support! Like we said before, get ready for another album coming in the next few months…

[Music Video] Crash Land – Crash Land

Posted by Tyler Trew - May 1, 2017

A new act is smashing into Earth with a debut that is nothing but a hit. Crash Land released the self-titled single alongside a music video through STMPD RCRDS just a few days ago. Hip-hop has a lot of figures vying for supremacy, but Crash Land may swoop in and take the lead.

Great hip-hop will always have it’s place in the dojo. That’s just what we get with “Crash Land,” a smooth record that does rap right. With things moving in plenty of weird directions for the genre, it’s great for a newcomer to come along and deliver something that is undeniably good. The music video further expands the project with cosmic-based visuals that are out of this world. Overall every part of this project is incredibly well done and this has us quite excited for the future. Want to support the project? Get a copy today.

[Music Video] FRND – Be Happy

Posted by Tyler Trew - April 30, 2017

What we’re used to from FRND is the release of a great single. With his fourth original release however, it’s not just a great song we’re getting, but a sweet animated music video to go along with it. The project is “Be Happy” and that’s just how we’re feeling for this one.

Now, “Be Happy” isn’t as straightforward as you may think. The lyrics don’t paint a simple scenario, rather one that has multiple layers underneath the general claim (and name) of the song. It represents a matured moment in life, one that isn’t so easy to come to with regard to relationships – or as the song describes, past relationships. Yet again FRND sways us with a magical track and the video takes all the emotions to the next level. It’s a smash hit and it’s something your library needs. Add it through iTunes today.
