Fulgeance & DJ Scientist's New Vid Makes the Cold War Seem Like Fun

It's animated espionage on "Vendetta" off the groundbreaking "The Soviet Tape"

French producer Fulgeance operates at the more conceptual edge of dance music, as evidenced by his recent works as CLAUDE, but his latest project with Berlin-based DJ Scientist is some of the most creative stuff we've seen in a long time.

The Soviet Tape is comprised of samples from Soviet Era vinyl, all cut and mashed up into danceable tunes that orbit around instrumental hip-hop. We premiered the tune "Vendetta" earlier this year, but now we've got the video.

Directed by animator Simon Walter, it's an animated tale of vinyl espionage that has aesthetic similarities with Soviet-era propaganda. Who knew the cold war could be this much fun?
