Official Video: Bassnectar Unveils ‘Reaching Out’ Clip

This Friday DJ and producer Bassnectar will release his 12th studio album, Unlimited. Today NPR Music has premiered a visually stunning video for the Unlimited track “Reaching Out.”

“This song is about human connection,” Bassnectar explained to NPR. “But [it’s] also about our personal journeys and how they intersect in cathartic and beautiful ways in a kind of metamorphosis.” The DJ went on to explain the narrative for the instrumental song, “As the song progresses the voice says, ‘We’re reaching out to set you free,’ as if she is being contacted from beyond her current state of awareness. The voice represents an angel, which could be a friend or just an entity of healing. When she bursts through the cocoon, she is set free to move freely and dance across the same terrain which she was once submerged in. The new control and mastery of her body follows her as she moves forward into life, leaving trails of her experiences behind her.”
