Stills from 'Don't Touch Me'
Don’t Touch Me
Kindbud recruits a bunch of queer kids for his latest music video
Bubble blowers, quarterbacks, voguestresses, disco mavens. No, these aren’t characters from your favorite, gayest dreams (although really, they still might be). In fact, they’re four, among many, eccentric roles in ‘Don’t Touch Me,’ the new music video from NYC-based DJ and producer Kindbud. The fourth single off his latest record, Dead Beat City, “Don’t Touch Me” is a wiry, contagious dance track with a video that mirrors the song’s back-to-basics approach: shot in one continuous take, the black and white clip is a backwards loop wherein several NYC nightlife personalities drift in and out, doing any number of weird things to and around the handsome DJ.
The video doesn’t disappoint in local star power, recruiting Stephanie Stone, Juliana Huxtable, Milan (of RuPaul’s Drag Race season 4), Celso LaBeija, DJ Sammy Jo (of the Scissor Sisters), the Kiki Twins, and many more legends for the party. Kindbud, who can be found DJing a number of parties around the city, seems pleasantly at ease in the midst of all the crazy, but who can blame him? He’s totally in his element here.
