Song Production Information

Dirty Androids

Following the previous style, Dirty Androids was asked to come back.

When I received the offer to work again, I heard that the theme was about "resorts", but the first thing that came to my mind was a small party besides a pool, I decided to make a song that would be similar to what you would hear at such a place (laughs).
As a result, although the song genre and beats are Nu Disco, the regular beats, tones, and bounce that you would expect from disco music is chopped up.

To some extent, I felt that I would like the song after I had completed it, and my feeling is that I can make more tracks similar to this.

Video Production Information

Vincent Bui

After listening to this song, the words "DISCO" and "future" came to mind.

When I think of disco, I think of a mirrorball, and when I think of the future, I think of stars in space, so I combined the two together to make this video.

Listening to the rhythm, do you feel the music lift you up?

Jean Ledieu

When I listened to the song, I could feel what DISCO was like.
Since I also studied music at a French conservatory, I could understand the connection between images and sound.
This time, I had to design something around 70s DISCO.

With disco, the shapes most commonly identified with it are round and star-shaped objects.
It is so common that I could design it in a multitude of ways, so that I could make a contemporary image with matching colors, that would match up with the rhythm of the music.
