Synopsis
The video turns "Warp" into a tightly edited electro-punk assault. Steve Aoki and The Bloody Beetroots perform amid stark studio imagery, rapid close-ups, distorted camera effects, flashing lights, and a crowd of energetic fans. Rather than following a conventional storyline, the clip builds momentum through repetition, physical movement, and deliberately abrasive visuals. Its stripped-down setting keeps attention on the performers' confrontational presence and the track's relentless, club-ready intensity.
Factoids & Trivia
- The video was produced in 2009 for Dim Mak and Downtown by I'm Productions. Mauro Chiarello and Luca Esposito handled cinematography, while Davide Mauti edited the clip.
- The track was released as "Warp" in April 2009 and later appeared as "Warp 1.9" on The Bloody Beetroots' debut album, "Romborama."
- Steve Aoki's involvement was especially significant because Dim Mak was his label. The collaboration helped push The Bloody Beetroots from the electro underground toward the larger international EDM audience.
- "Warp 1.9" became one of the signature records of the early EDM boom. It reached No. 23 in the 2009 Triple J Hottest 100 poll.
- For the song's 10th anniversary, a special vinyl package used stills from the music video. The sleeve artwork arranged those images into collage-style full-body portraits of the artists.
- The record has continued to appear in television, film, advertising, and video game placements, extending its life well beyond the original club circuit.
