Initial Talk has been making waves with their 1980s-kissed remixes of songs by today's most popular artists. From Lady Gaga to Kylie Minogue to Dua Lipa, Initial Talk transports modern pop classics back to the MTV era.

The Initial Talk remixes of Dua Lipa’s ‘New Rules’ and ‘IDGAF’ have together clocked-in over 14 million streams on Spotify alone.

The last few weeks have seen Initial Talk remixes of Sam Sparro’s ‘Love Like That’ and Perfume Genius’ ‘On The Floor’. Paper Magazine says “Initial Talk has transformed ‘On The Floor’ into a euphoric bop straight out of the Reagan era.”

It’s no surprise Initial Talk’s original tracks follow the same feel-good ‘80s nostalgia of their remixes and ‘Skydiving’ is no exception. Teaming-up with extraordinary London-based vocalist Sasha Brown, ‘Skydiving’ tells the story of a wronged lover who takes the upper hand, all set to a ’80s RnB pop groove. Brown, a multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and DJ has been on the rise with her singles ‘Parallel’ ‘Fix Of You’ and the just released ‘How Far Are You Willing To Go?’

The pairing of Initial Talk and and Sasha Brown on ‘Skydiving’ is a match made in pop heaven.

Star The Moonlight Music Video

Check out the new music video for 'Good Fight' from Brooklyn-based band Star The Moonlight. Directed by Julia Barrett-Mitchell, 'Good Fight' is a multi-media collaboration from several artists including myself. I shot several scenes on the iPhone 7 Plus in 1080p 120fps slo-mo and compiled the spaceship-in-flight scenes using some still stock photos which were then animated in the Plotagaph app on iOS, imported in to Apple Final Cut X where clear-cut stills of the spaceship were added and animated, and finally some engine trails were rendered in Apple Motion and exported at 4K.
