It's Panic at the Arcade in Ben Aqua's New Video

"4C1D" incites some gang-dance warfare along to a track sounds like Justin Timberlake's "Sexy Back" if it was written by The Prodigy

Somewhere between ghetto-tech and mid 90's big beat, you'll find the vibe of Ben Aqua's "4C1D." The track sounds like Justin Timberlake's "Sexy Back" if it was written by The Prodigy. The Austinite's similarly titled EP mashes up a number of genres, runs them through an arcade-style glitch machine, and then spits them out as 16-bit versions of themselves.

It's actually at the arcade where you'll find the setting for 4C1D's video, where things get a little ornery before a dance-off ensues and everybody goes home happy.
