DOPEST Video of the Week: "Wide Awake" by Petit Biscuit
Our DOPEST Video of the Week comes from French producer, composer, and songwriter Petit Biscuit who blends chill electronic soundscapes with glitchy bass undertones to confront the impact between analogue and digital on his new single, “Wide Awake”. His delicate vocals are front and centre as he not only explores the aforementioned conflict, but “how even a man that seemingly has no fear, simply hides it deep inside.” It also comes equipped with a mesmerizing music video where CGI gradually transforms to live action, framing the themes of “Wide Awake” in stunning fashion.
Petit Biscuit, born Mehdi Benjelloun, explains in further detail: “I wanted ‘Wide Awake’ to be a track that defies genres...it encompasses an audacious blend of my world music and chill universe, that ends up completely broken up by bass music. Like a relentless battle between nature and digital.”
A multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer, Petit Biscuit’s debut album ‘Presence’ charted worldwide in 2017 as well as wowing audiences with performances at the likes of Coachella and Lollapalooza. At just 19 years old Petit Biscuit has already amassed half a billion Spotify streams as well as garnering international radio support from SiriusXM Chill to Triple J and tastemaker praise from Clash Magazine, Earmilk, Paper Magazine and many more.
