Watch Drugged-Up Grannies Dancing Like They’re In a Peak-Time Club With Toby Tobias’ “The Wonder”

UK producer Toby Tobias has dropped “The Wonder,” the opener of his sophomore album Rising Sun. Directed by Matthew Reed, the video brings back the nostalgic, drugged-up, carefree vibe of the 70s disco era—but with a surreal twist.

“The idea was really simple,” Reed said over email. “I wanted to choose a striking group of people and see how they reacted to the song in their own home. None of them were dancers per se, just people I was drawn to, which I also thought was more interesting.”

“In terms of the song,” he continued, “I really liked the tracky, druggy quality to it, so I wanted to explore that—the idea of a ‘hands-in-the-air,’ 4am-club moment but in a slightly odd domestic context.”

“The Wonder” is Tobias’ re-edit of an old boogie tune with a funky makeover, blending house and electro beats with a disco backdrop and smooth jazz vocals from Be Atwell, Tobias’ Brixtonian friend.

“I wanted to get a personal touch in here, so I got my mate Mike in the video,” Tobias added. “He’s always a beacon of good hope at a party when you see him doing his dance, and I thought it would be great to get him in.”
