Rulers Of The Deep - Planet Drum
Planet Drum, a track that you will like from the first time you hear it - nice, partly simple seeming but still again another masterpiece from Rulers Of The Deep. The sound is funky mixed with airy pads and massive basslines, great vocals from Estonian jazz singer Sofia Rubina - describe it as a ROTD sound.
In the beginning of February Planet Drum will get a massive remix package from several worldwide known DJ’s and producers. The video for the song will be ready in the end of January. Video is produced in Estonia in studio called Birds Of Paradise. Author of the video is Daniel Müntinen who is the most talented young animation director in Estonia. Müntinen and Rulers have been worked together for many years in Tallinn Express parties with other young moviemakers, making live visuals under name Visual Culture - See The Music.
This video will be very untraditional, something we are used to see in music videos. There will be no beautiful girls, pimped cars or nice landscapes – we’ll introduce you to Earl. Earl is not your usual senior citizen who lives next door and listens to all humpy dumpy music. Earl may look old but he knows exactly which tunes are hot and which not. Look out because Earl knows where you live and we’ll let him off the lease! Video is made in animation technique and used is a very unique style doing it. How everything will look you shall see shortly – keep your eyes open Important is also the fact that this is the first video for Rulers Of The Deep
