DJ Snake

DJ Snake has shared the highly anticipated video for his club and festival smash, “Magenta Riddim.”

The Indian-influenced track was one of DJcity’s most-downloaded songs of February and March. It also reached No. 1 on DJcity’s Hot Box within days of its release and peaked at No. 20 on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart.

Fittingly shot in India, the light-hearted visual follows a local celebrity crew of firefighters who can’t stop dancing. After putting out a massive blaze, one of the crew members discovers that his eccentric fire chief has been up to no good.
