Yves Larock unleashes stunningly bizarre second video for The Zoo

While most artists today put out obligatory 90 second teaser videos as a matter of course, Swiss super-producer Yves Larock tapped firmly into the viral zeitgeist of today’s fans to produce a full-length, slightly bizarre cut for his forthcoming single The Zoo.

A twisted, trippy mis en scene set inside a Parisian greasy spoon café, features a hairy troupe of Village People tribute dancers enjoying the finer points of roadside cuisine before performing what looks like the Macarena, under the ministrations of an incredibly random Bjork-lookalike circa 1977.

If you saw the first video and thought THAT was insane, take a look at this next cut!

Flexing his undeniably creative muscles yet again behind the camera, Larock has unleashed a timely second video for the single – this time taking the action out of Europe and onto the shores of Venice Beach, LA.

Instead of paunch-bellied construction workers we’re served with a host of nubile young ‘manimals’ – half raging party animal, half giraffe, elephant, chimpanzee – running riot on Californian streets in real time, making for some slightly quizzical encounters with the locals. Ending up – where else – but on the dance floor, under the watchful gaze of Larock and child, this has to be one of the most jaw-droppingly bizarre pieces of music film in recent history.

The single, which includes mixes from Ralph Good, Muzzaik, Houseshaker and Tony Sylla, has already reaped in massive support across the board from fellow DJs, global radio stations and even National television. With its big pumping tribal percussion, child-like village vocals, organ chords and Brazilian-style tech basslines, The Zoo is one of the most original and inventive pieces ever to come out of Larock’s Millia Records studios.
