Roma Moss feat. hOlY β Leaving Traces (FREE.D remix):
At the close of 2016, we had the pleasure of working with Moscowβs FREE.D to promote the βLiberate Your Mindβ where FREE.D collaborated with London-based producer Roubs for a pure synth anthem that called on humanity to stop feeding their egos, and to open their hearts and minds to a more peaceful and tolerant world. He created the video himself, and itβs a truly unique visual reminiscent of MTVβs Liquid Television series: a fearless mashup of animation styles geared to reward viewers while simultaneously shocking their senses in a thrilling way.
This time, FREE.D has returned with his remix of the Roma Moss ft. hOLY track βLeaving Traces.β On the original track, Hidden Vibes (the label of which FREE.D is the progenitor) artists Roma Moss teamed up to mix guitars, analog synth, and live violin with truly magical vocals from hOLY. FREE.Dβs remix is electronic, quirky, and hypnotic; the kind of music that makes you think and just may lead you in to a trance. The song is repetitive and almost entirely instrumental, and paired with a unique visual, itβs hard to pull your attention away from the details and groovy mood that it creates.
FREE.D has brought us another animated video and itβs once again stellar. This time heβs teamed up with Sevya Vyodstsev (illustrations), Igor Irbitskiy (direction/ animation/ idea), and Alexandar Dymox (project manager) to tell a story that may just make you question your reality.
The βLeaving Tracesβ music video starts with our main character- a beaver- waking up to his alarm clock. Heβs a cog in the machine- sitting in traffic, doing the same monotonous tasks day after day- till he listens to a song called βLeave Your Traceβ, and is suddenly hypnotized. The beaver walks to work and we see other characters go about their business- a βjackedβ chicken lifting weights, a feline DJ spinning records, and a canine scientist experimenting in the laboratory- as the song pulsates through the speakers. He falls in love with an octopus, and their son goes to work and is similarly enchanted by βLeave Your Trace.β
