This hypnotic promo for English producer Fred Again’s Hardstyle, directed by SMUGGLER duo rubberband., proves that a stripped-back idea can often pack the biggest punch.

What begins as an intimate close-up gradually widens, the camera pulling back to reveal the scale and pulse of the underground music community, alive with raw energy and captured in striking, high-contrast black and white.

Rubberband added: Fred wanted us to preserve the sentiment of Fred’s black and white, nearly DIY aesthetic. He would often ask a simple question of us “why is the camera where it is? From who or what’s perspective are we observing this?” We aligned on a simple concept and decided the best way to observe this story was to combine tech that’s 60 years old with technique that’s contemporary, all in service of this. Wanting to preserve the human perspective of a single take film.
