DJ Snake Releases Video For 'Magenta Riddim' Out Today

Directed by Gal Muggia and Vania Heymann (the duo behind Coldplay's Grammy Award-nominated video for "Up & Up"), the "Magenta Riddim" video follows a squad of firefighters who can't stop dancing—the pride and joy of their small Telangana town.. Much of the talent and crew involved in making the "Magenta Riddim" video are local artists who've worked on legendary films in the realm of Tollywood (the Telugu-speaking film industry).

"Magenta Riddim" is one of the latest culture-spanning singles dropped by DJ Snake. DJ Snake is both reclaiming his dance roots and pushing his artistic boundaries to create music that celebrates the global culture.

Released via Geffen Records in February, "Magenta Riddim" has amassed over 30 million streams to date. It's premiere being at his sold out Accord Hotel Arena show in Paris in February. It's also earned praise from outlets like Complex, who hailed the track as a "solid reminder of DJ Snake's range and his ability to expertly fuse a variety of sounds and styles."

DJ Snake has taken time to drop records he feels connects with his roots since his return in Sept 2017, dropping a string of records and 3 more to come in the next 4 weeks.
