VRWRK – live electronica outfit born in Brussels, based in London - has revealed the official music video for ‘Hearts Beating In Sync’, the most recent single from their much anticipated debut album to be released October 13. The video premiered on the music and lifestyle magazine The Fader.
About the video:
An eclectic group of beautiful misfits guide you through a hidden London in an under-the-skin, fly-on-the-wall home video shot byDeedee Moemeke, art director, photographer and long-time friend of VRWRK lead singer Salem Khazali. This video is the ultimate visual anthem to a summer of escapism (insert booze, money and drugs here) where intimate moments are shared between close and re-acquainted friends.
On shooting the video, Deedee says : ‘I wanted to draw the viewer into our inner circle. It captured London’s zeitgeist. So we went with it. ’ The footage unveils rare pieces of their own apparel ‘Run Tell Secrecy’, a creative platform driven by authenticity, human emotions, and the alternative truth.

About VRWRK
Live Electronica outfit based in East London, Born in Brussels. Members: Jergan Callebaut, Thieu Seynaeve, Salem Khazali.
Producers collective VRWRK (fka VUURWERK), part of the Run Tell Secrecy collective (www.runtellsecrecy.org), draws its creative energy from emotional suggestion and tactile sensation. Rather than adhering to genre-specific musical characteristics associated with dance music, VRWRK challenges listeners by combining ambient and industrial with techno, dubstep, breakbeats. Always on the edge of the underground & the overground pop. VRWRK aims to drench the club experience in a comfortable melancholic haze, creating a dissonance between dance music & intimacy. It’s the kind of out-of-body experience you feel quite comfortable in.
VRWRK have been doing interesting things for some time now, albeit below the radar. They have made remixes for Arsenal, Balthazar and Bon Iver and work closely together with Max Colombie (as Climb X).
