Approved: Young Turks x Dazed Visionaries
By Aly Barchi | Published on Monday 3 February 2014
What’s not to love? The xx, Grimes, FKA Twigs, Sampha and Caroline Polachek of Chairlift, all in Tulum Mexico, all as part of a trip by their shared label Young Turks, the focal point of Dazed Digital’s latest series of ‘Visionaries’ specials.
Featuring Twigs singing her track ‘Hide’ amid some Mayan ruins (as you do), and Polachek giving her best a capella Handel aria whilst standing in a deep, clear mini-lake in the gloom, and climaxing in an ensemble wrap party with all the crew, each clip gives a glimpse into Team YTs’ family trip to Tulum, Mexico last New Year.
Like most things Young Turks do, it’s pitched beautifully, and stuns with its visuals and the slick and slightly alien clarity of one of the most ‘aesthetics’-driven labels trading at the moment.
