Strange things are happening to British dance music.
For years cut adrift from the mainstream, 2013 has opened with a sensational coup. Production team Disclosure have rammed into the Top 10, adding some effortlessly classy vocals from AlunaGeorge to 'White Noise'.
Essentially a cutting edge underground house track with a sprinkle of pop sass, 'White Noise' reached number two in the first week release. An astounding feat, the single was able to crash into the charts before a video had even been finished.
Now the clip has been unveiled. Diverting in a tangent from Disclosure's production, the clip opens with an urban scene as a security guard prepares for work. The mundanity of everyday life gives way to a sudden transformation in the middle section.
The chorus kicks in, the snares crack that little bit harder and the security begins to bust some series moves – alone, save for the light of his torch. Coming together in blissful harmony, both music and visuals making for a gritty yet engrossing clip.
Watch it now.
