Synopsis
The video follows a high-performance car racing through Stockholm at night, with the camera locked to the vehicle as it cuts through empty streets, tunnels, intersections, and bursts of city traffic. Headlights, street lamps, and motion blur turn the drive into an abstract urban light show. There is no conventional narrative or on-screen performance; the clip instead matches Jacques Greene's atmospheric electronic track with the hypnotic momentum, danger, and isolation of a nighttime getaway.
Factoids & Trivia
- The video uses footage from the Swedish street-racing film series Getaway in Stockholm, rather than newly filmed performance material.
- Its concept is presented as a tribute to Claude Lelouch's 1976 short film C'etait un rendez-vous, famous for its continuous high-speed drive through Paris.
- The clip was released in May 2014 to promote Night Tracking, a track from Greene's Phantom Vibrate EP, released by LuckyMe on April 28, 2014.
- The video premiered during the same period in which Greene was being described as a Montreal-born producer based in New York.
- Night Tracking was also described in promotional material for the EP as an ode to Greene's former Montreal club night, which helped shape his musical tastes and experience.
- The visual's emphasis on speed, empty streets, and glowing headlights complements the track's cinematic, late-night mood without adding characters, dialogue, or a conventional storyline.
