Live Review: WATCH: Surkin 'Oedo 606' (Official Video)

Surkin translates the tremendous detail that has gone into his new track, by comparing the music to the greater world in which we live in.

Have you ever wondered what you look like on the inside? Or perhaps what happens out in the far out regions of the universe? Well, SURKIN definitely has. Because these are the kinds of things he's making us look at in his new video.

For the French producer/Marble label head's latest single, 'Oedo 606', he enlisted the help of Sanghon Kim as Director and Division on production duties - to help him create a modern homage to "Powers Of Ten" by Charles and Ray Eames. By using this idea, he's allowed to translate the tremendous detail that has gone into the track, by comparing the music to the greater world in which we live in.

Beginning in a world of darkness, a few particles spin around before the 'camera' begins to zoom out slowly at first, as we see all the things that make up the human mind, before zooming out on a couple on a patch of green grass and then the earth, mars and the greater universe. After that it gets a bit more... psychedelic. Before switching back and zooming back into the mind of another human.

It's kind of like what I imagine a David Attenborough documentary would look like if it was about human life... and if he was on a heap of hallucinogenics... and it was soundtracked by French techno. Overall, it's provides a pretty beautiful insight into the worlds that we can't see - and it's a clip that you'll want to watch over and over again.

'Oedo 606' was originally released earlier this year on the Advanced Entertainment System EP, but a deluxe version of the EP has just been dropped via Marble. It includes remixes by Sam TibaFrench FriesSamo Sound BoyMyd, and Boston Bun.
