Synopsis

Presented like a flamboyant television commercial from the future, "Go Supersonic" introduces the fictional Super Sonic Sound System. A sharply styled host demonstrates its oversized controls, glowing components, and extraordinary sonic capabilities while the track drives the presentation forward. The video turns a hi-fi product demonstration into a playful piece of retro-futurist fantasy, combining mock advertising, science-fiction imagery, and deliberately exaggerated salesmanship. Its polished period look makes the imaginary stereo feel like a lost technological wonder from an alternate 1960s or 1970s.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The video is structured as a retro commercial for the fictional "Super Sonic Sound System," rather than as a conventional performance video.
  • The campaign was created and produced by Mother. Production credits also list Nico Elicero as the presenter, Mike Sobo as editor, and Drake Miller and David Hohusen for graphics and post-production.
  • The imaginary system is presented as a modular machine. One sequence focuses on the secrets of its "Mainframe," including a component identified as the VC-LFO.
  • "Go Supersonic" appeared on Pepe Deluxer's 2012 album "Queen of the Wave," a project described as a pop opera and built around an intentionally expansive mixture of vintage musical styles.
  • The video was selected as a Vimeo Staff Pick, helping it circulate beyond the usual audience for electronic music videos.
  • The single was also issued as a four-track release featuring the radio edit and remixes by Husky Rescue, Secuem, and Voluntary Butler Scheme.
  • The deliberately convincing advertising format led viewers and write-ups to treat the stereo as a real vintage product, although the Super Sonic Sound System was created for the video and was not an actual commercial hi-fi model.
