As they announced on Power 106's Big Boy's Neighborhood, Skrillex and Diplo have released the music video for their super duo Jack U's debut single "Take U There" alongside must-watch Canadian singer Kiesza. The video is not a big-budget music video you may find from a major-label-signed pop star, but is more of a well-produced do-it-yourself video.
It features footage of Jack U performing across the Mad Decent Block Party tour this summer in Los Angeles and Dallas, with clips of the New York show at MCU Park, where "Take U There" was performed with live vocals from Kiesza for the first time. The music video takes a trippy turn with wacky Disclosure — like drawings over their faces and cartoonish animations overlaying the two DJs and singer dancing. You can tell it was pretty DIY when the police stop them for filming the video in the street. It shows the carefree and fun-loving attitude from these three, via Spin.
Jack U has made appearances everywhere lately. Diplo and Skrillex have been promoting their upcoming headlining New Year's Eve gig at Madison Square Garden with A$AP Ferg, Rudimental, Yellow Claw and some surprise special guests. They have been doing a whirlwind media tour that included the mix and interview on Big Boy's Neighborhood, but also stops on BET's 106 & Park, Howard Stern and New York's Hot 97 with Ebro in the Morning.
Though the duo have not released much in the way of music, they have been hard at work producing plenty of new material. Much of what they have coming up can be heard in their Diplo & Friends mix, premiered on BBC Radio One. The remixes for "Take U There" sprung a leak and the streams found their way online.
Do not expect these two to be leaving your conscious soon.
