Jokers Of The Scene “Baggy Bottom Boys” Video + Remix EP
Jokers Of The Scene’s recent remixes for the likes of Mika, Acid Girls and Burns have been making waves in forward-thinking DJ sets and blog charts alike. But it’s their original tune “Baggy Bottom Boys” that has become a signature anthem - an enormous dance track that’s as moody as it is ecstatic. It’s a perfect introduction to JOTS, whose sound continues to mutate from straight-up club bangers into a deeper, darker strain of electronic dance music that’s completely original and exciting.
The “BBB” video captures all these contrasts and complexities in glorious, stroboscopic black & white, filmed at two particularly wild JOTS shows in Boston and Ottawa by Julian Wadsworth (aka Red Foxxworth) and chopped up with glee by LA-based video vanguard Demonbabies.
To go along with the clip, Fool’s Gold is releasing a digital “Baggy Bottom Boys” remix EP, featuring brand new mixes by High Contrast, DZ, Rob Threezy and JOTS themselves - and a “pianopella” for the mixers! Grab it on iTunes, Beatport, and anywhere else fine digital music is sold (along with all the other JOTS releases and remixes on Fool’s Gold). More big news soon!

[...] Fool’s Gold pranksters Jokers of the Scene have been going through a “blue period,” if you will, making gothy mixes and having a general aura of doom about them, but this video might be their transition into another stage of artistry. Namely, muted piano tech, sparklers and ravers with a healthy dose of geometric animation that conjures the illuminati. And considering the massive amount of SICK sci-fi movies slated for the next six months, now would be a fairly zeitgeistical time to get in on that—some metaphysical happening at a club party might make for a good plot point. What was that vampire movie with a scene at a crazy rave, where the lights went out and a rain of blood gushed out of the fire sprinklers? Anyway, half this video is twitchy like a gif, and they’ve also got a new remix EP. [...]

[...] Peep this Q&A with DJ Booth and Chameleonic for your chance to see JOTS in action without awesome seizure patterns on their faces. [...]
