3 Videos From The Electro Duo
Sofi Tukker is an eclectic duo with hits like “Purple Hat” and “Best Friend.” It has sold out Avant Gardner and Verboten in shows sponsored by Ultra Music. It is composed of artists Sophie Hawley-Weld and Tucker Halpern. They are DJs and have collaborated with artists like NERVO and Gorgon City and maintained a thriving, at-home series of live DJ sessions last year. Sofi Tukker has knowledge of the underground house scene and a voracious fanbase that love their music.
In one video, Sofi Tukker performs a 30-minute DJ set in honor of President Joe Biden’s Inauguration, celebrating the Trump Administration’s end. The tracks include Mark Knight & D Ramirez (X House Arrest Acappella – SOFI TUKKER & Gorgon City), That House – Shahin Shantiaei, and I Wanna Feel – SecondCity. There is commentary between tracks from Tucker Halpern. He mentions Bernie Sanders’s images like the mittens meme floating in the windows around them. It captures the tropical vibe that Sofi Tukker exudes through its music.
Next, the music video for “Best Friend” promotes friendship and focuses on meet-ups based on dance, dress, and social norms. Sofi Tukker sings and dances with a group of eccentric artists, including NERVO. Ultra Music produced this track, and the lyrics include chants like, “Know you’re gunna meet me in the East, know you wanna meet me in the West, know you wanna meet me on the block, know you wanna meet me in the spot,” to show the global reach.
Finally, the last video is another Ultra Music production, titled “Spa,” featuring Icona Pop. The video features porn star Mia Khalifa and Sophie and Tucker dressed down in spa attire. The video is sensual, showing a lot of skin and showing Sofi Tukker in spa baths with cucumbers on their eyes. Lyrics like, “I want to feel this wet from the steam room and the sauna,” promote the sexy lifestyle of Sofi Tukker. The house beats are electric and show off the production prowess of Sofi Tukker in another hot music video.
