From Ocean's 11, to Fats Waller's Ain't Misbehavin', electro swing producer @AtomSmithMusic explains the inspirations behind his latest single and accompanying music video. Watch the full Makin' Trouble video here - youtu.be/gbOWD4_0n3U
If you're looking for trouble, you came to the right place... The official music video for ATOM SMITH's explosive new ELECTRO SWING tune with Miss Emmma and Burkey follows an elevator descending through the levels of Hell. Shot using green screen before being transformed with CGI, visual effects and animation, the project combines practical filmmaking with cutting-edge digital techniques to create a surreal underground world of demons, dancers and devilish jazz clubs.

In these accompanying BTS short videos, Atom explains the creative process behind this video from the initial concept, via the green-screen filming, CGI, special effects and tech to create a complex visual world where the metaphor of a trip to hell involves an elevator decent to a devilish basement, taking in floors like the levels in a video game. We hope you enjoy the ride as much as we did putting it together!
Music written and performed by Atom Smith, Burkey and Miss Emmma
featuring the Bass-Age Big Band.
Video directed and edited by Bradford Cooper and Brandon Licha
Starring Miss Emmma, Burkey and Atom Smith with Qu'in de la Noche the burlesque performer.
Makin' Trouble combines roaring trumpet hooks, big band energy, vintage swing, jazz, rap and cutting-edge electronic production into a modern Electro Swing anthem. Fans of Caravan Palace, Parov Stelar, Swingrowers, Jamie Berry, Odd Chap and Swing Republic will feel right at home.
