Video: Beats Antique – “Cat Skillz”

---

Beats Antique is excited to share their brand new video for “Cat Skillz.”  The video was directed by Paradox Pollack with artistic direction provided by Zoe Jakes of Beats Antique.  The result is something so unlike any other music video you’ve seen before and is a perfect visual representation of the Beats Antique aesthetic.  Beats Antique would like to thank all of their incredible fans who helped make this video possible by donating to their Kickstarter campaign as well as every single person who helped make this video what you’re watching today.  As a token of thanks and to be enjoyed in tandem with the video the band has made available a free 12-song download collection called, “Cat Skillz Remixes,” which features the original song “Cat Skillz” along with 11 unique remixes of the song.
