Hot Sugar unleashes visuals for ‘#MindControl’

New York based Nick Koenig aka Hot Sugar, also known for being Associative Music‘s founder, dropped his latest EP, Moon Money, last week via Ninja Tune.

You’ll find the prolific electronic musician “armed with snares made from human bones, kicks fashioned from an ultra-amplified rat’s heartbeat and melodies from the breathing of an 86 year old man covered head to toe in tattoos” as the press release describes. “Hot Sugar has the ability to take even the most obscure found sounds and turn them into some of the most melodious and infectious compositions in electronic music today.”

Coinciding with the EP release, Hot Sugar premiered a weirdly fitting video for one of the cuts off it, ‘#MindControl’. Watch out for naked wizards.
