Born and raised in Baghdad where he found his musical style and learned piano, Motez is an Iraqi refugee who has since stepped into a role as one of Australia’s most prominent electronic producers. With a profound life story and a courageous spirit, Motez makes dance music for dreamers. A month ago, the celebrated artist released his critically-acclaimed single “Give Me Space” featuring multi-instrumentalist and vocalist The Kite String Tangle. An endearing listen defined by its simple electronic beat and warm vocals, “Give Me Space” is a markedly emotional listen. Following up the release comes the track’s charming music video. Following a Lego-like toy in a Back To The Future-esque car, the music video is a lighthearted short film that parallels human nature. The small toy transforms into an animated character that builds a ladder out of DVDs to transport himself, through a computer screen, into the digital cosmos. Blurring the lines between reality and fantasy, this digitally-rendered music video is a sweet reminder that our wildest dreams are always within reach.
