Directed by Ryan Valdez,
“Houdini” tells the story of a brutal kidnapping and
villainous science experiment, transforming an innocent mortal into an
undead, seething monstrosity.
In a dark, iniquitous lab filled with sinister instruments all around,
the victim lies on an operating table and is injected with an unknown
substance. His eyes go white and his heart rate spikes into waveforms.
The masked miscreants drop the body on the sands of Los Angeles, and WHIIITE is born.
It’s no coincidence that WHIIITE chose this single as
the soundtrack to the account of his transformation; “Houdini” is one of
the most powerful singles from the rising producer’s acclaimed debut
EP. Aptly titled, “Houdini” is tricky and deceiving – utilizing a
classical piano riff to encourage a sense of comfort, but it isn’t long
before the smoke and mirrors clear and an unforgiving serving of bass is
dealt at 110BPM.
