WFRB_FINAL_600x600

Once again, The Cool Kids have teamed up with directors Maxim Bohichik and Alex Bergman of BBGUN Films to deliver a new video for their Green Label Sound single, “Summer Jam (feat. Maxine Ashley).” The video shows what Summer should be: nothing but “bevs, barbecue, and babes,” as Mikey and Chuck would say. You’re invited to one of the craziest pool parties of the season, so pack up your swim trunks, a towel and your croquet mallet. Don’t forget to download the track off their first full-length album When Fish Ride Bicycles right here before heading out the door.

Video: Classixx – “Into The Valley” (Julio Bashmore Remix)

CLASSIXX REMIX_JULIO_600x600

We’re proud to release the official video for Julio Bashmore’s remix of the Classixx track “Into the Valley feat. Karl Dixon”. To give the proper visual for the track, the L.A. based DJ duo partnered with their friend and director Marcus Herring. Herring’s vision for the video centered on “striking simplicity.” The result is one, continuous shot following a girl sprinting through a forest (overlooking a valley, naturally) as layered psychedelic images of leaves and flowers appear over the footage.
