The Mon Frère brothers are always doing something interesting and allowing their creative juices to flow. As featured previously, Paul’s new Megaphonic project delivers bright pop sensations to fill your life with tropical vibrancy. We’re now excited to introduce Matt’s new breakbeat endeavour Mirage. This is a delight for both the visual and audio senses with a conflicting though artistic idea of both satire and flair melded together.

‘Sexy’ by Mirage is the debut track, it leads in with a sturdy percussion as the visuals show an office worker mocking provocative dancing. We switch to a black backdrop and a dancer in red with the professional talent of suggestive dance. An equally raunchy bass-driven melody enters together with a “sexy” vocal sample. A cold, jarring element is added which kind of throws things off balance.

‘Another One’ is the second track with a trendy street / hip hop beat. The video begins by showcasing two really cool urban dancers. A glowing wave of atmosphere rises and the chopped commercial vocal plays in. We move to a more common setting with a colourful pair in oversized glasses, wigs, bear shoes, packets of meat and Quorn, a balloon burst, a definitely baffled cat, and very strange dancing which will haunt you long after you’ve seen it.

No doubt, the forthcoming track ‘Punch In The Face’ will be something of a statement considering the first two releases and of course that subtle title! Mirage is creating an illusion… making a fool of the system but also shining the light on those who have broken free through dance.
