Spinnin’ Records has just released the track and the official video for Martin Garrix and MOTi’s “Virus (How About Now).” The big room banger has been a mainstay of the 18-year-old Garrix’s festival sets and with good reason. It’s incredibly catchy (some might even say it’s contagious…) and the relentless bass and heart-pounding drop provide the perfect soundtrack to the sci-fi thriller story told in the video. A white-collar hero is tracked by ominous men in suits (who clearly took wardrobe cues from mentor Tiesto’s look on A Town Called Paradise album cover) before transferring the contagion to others. It turns out all the action is a real-life manifestation of a computer game; there’s even an “Error 404” Easter egg for Garrix fans. The suit squad circles a woman, closing in on the enemy virus before the video ends – and it was all a dream. Check out the video for yourself below and take precautions by grabbing a copy of “Virus” on Beatport today.
