NGHTMRE Releases Black Mirror Reminiscent Music Video for Zeds Dead Collab “Shady Intentions”
NGHTMRE and Zeds Dead infuse the melodic bass track “Shady Intentions” with dystopian futuristic visuals in their music video debut.
Producer, DJ, and label owner Tyler Marenyi (a.k.a NGHTMRE) released his fifth cinematic music video for “Shady Intentions” on his audio-visual debut album DRMVRSE. Boasting a bass-filled collaboration with veteran powerhouse Zeds Dead, the video’s release marks the latest addition to Marenyi’s immersive fictional plotline coursing throughout his new album.
Ultimately, “Shady Intentions” conveys a higher consciousness of the double-edged effects that technology can have on human interaction.
The video begins with a phony ad by Treadsoft for DRMWARE, a radical VR technology that allows users the “freedom to create a new life.” Specifically, the commercial uses testimonials from DRMWARE employees to paint a hopeful picture of the technology to watchers. However, the otherworldly journey takes a sinister turn as the system reads: “Treadsoft lies. Do Not Trust Treadsoft.”
Thereafter, the main character Julien takes us on a nerve-racking journey as he attempts to escape the company’s headquarters. Ultimately, the dystopian storyline reaches a climax as the central character unearths the company’s abuse of technology. The video is a perfect example of Tyler’s artistic genius, using complex visual storytelling to enrich the audience’s musical experience.
Presently, the DJ’s limited run of the ‘DRMVRSE Tour’ is well underway, featuring cutting-edge effects at a handful of venues across the U.S. The next stop will be Echostage in Washington, D.C. (formerly DJMag’s #1 music venue globally in 2021, now #2 behind Hi! Ibiza), where fans are surely in for a magical experience.
During the concert, attendees will have the opportunity to dive headfirst into another dimension as NGHTMRE’s vibrant sounds and futuristic graphics uncover Treadsoft’s darkest secrets. To listen to the full album, click here.
