Music Video: Beware the suitcase in Spazzkid's "Goodbye"

Mark Redito's prequel to "40 Winks" takes a dark turn.



Los Angeles-based beatmaker Mark Redito makes beautiful, dreamy, upbeat electronic music as Spazzkid. He recently released a new music video for "Goodbye," from his EP Promise. Directed by Czar Campos, and shot in Kyoto, it's a prequel to his previous music video for "40 Winks," which was rather mysterious.

Beware the suitcase. Take a look:

For those who love electronic dance music, but think it could use just a little more hot sauce, I give you the Electronic Sriracha Festival. I'm not kidding. A Sriracha-themed dance music festival. This is a real thing.

'Promise EP' by Spazzkid

New four-track EP from Los Angeles-based electronic producer



Mark Redito is a Los Angeles-based electronic producer and songwriter who makes music under the moniker Spazzkid. I was a big fan of his debut album Desire, and gobbled up all of his subsequent releases and remixes. His recently released EP Promise is a nice little four-track synth-heavy slice of cool, described as Mark's attempt to explore more "uptempo, dancefloor-ready arrangements structured into pop songs."

"Loneliness in a crowded city. A girl is abandoned with a mysterious suitcase."



I'm a big fan of electronic musician (and former Angry Reader of the Week) Mark Redito, also known as Spazzkid. He recently released the official music video for "40 Winks," one of my favorite tracks for his album Desire.
