Electro-pop duo Matt & Kim now have a jovially quirky music video for their single, “Daylight,” edited by Mr. Jamie Hubbard. The footage was directed by the indelible Micah Perta and shot by Matthew Santo, on, around, and in-between some hard-to-get-to locations in New York. Look for it on MTV2 or on our reel.

Construction is continuing on the epic new space; the walls are painted and the fiber optic cables are laid. Meanwhile, because of their trailblazing ways, Jason & Jamie were selected to feature in a new independent film, “Working,” by Michael Kim. Modeled after the late Studs Turkel’s landmark oral history of working people in the 1970s, the project explores the idea of rejecting the “demoralizing” corporate workplace, and setting up shop to suit oneself.
