We are delighted to present to you FTSE’s video for “Nite Life (ft Femme)” directed by Miles Bingham and inspired by the work of photographer, Maciej Dakowicz, and his Cardiff After Dark portraits.
These weekend night scenes are on any high street on any City in the UK; fuelled by cheap alcohol, drugs and emotions. Everything takes place in public – drinking, fighting, kissing, crying, sex and, when energy is exhausted, sleeping. Supermen chat up Wonderwomen, somebody does press-ups topless in the rain, the hungry ones finish their portions of chips before the police stop another argument or fight. Nobody seems to worry about tomorrow, what matters is here and now. Then another week at work, until the next weekend.
‘Nite Life’s sound-scapes perfectly capture the dark brooding atmosphere found in these high street scenes. “Empty people, stumbling through the night, Empty people, avoiding real life”.
