Video Premiere: 131 Northside - HORIZONS

Watch 131 Northside's moody, self-produced video for single HORIZONS, taken from debut EP Digital Memories

131 Northside – aka King Wavey and WTKAKACB – root their music in Edinburgh's area code, building beats out of a love/hate relationship with their historic home town. The new video to HORIZONS sees the duo take a break from cobbled streets in favour of a lonely stroll through the Pentlands. Scenic shots of rolling hills and rocky peaks clash with eerie graphic design work, as the two turn talk of daily struggles into something more elemental. 

Atmospheric, trap-based beats form the base of 131 Northside's sound, with reflective, autotuned vocals that take influence from digital tech as much as they do the ins-and-outs of Scottish city life. The group share a studio space with Edinburgh favourites Young Fathers, and their first EP Digital Memories (largely produced by Watgood and Midas) premiered earlier in the year via Complex.
