House music duo Sofi Tukker (Sophie Hawley-Weld and Tucker Halpern) have released the official music video on July 9 for their collaborative single with Gorgon City, ‘House Arrest’. The new visual is made with fan-footage submitted from around the world. Watch it below.

The music video starts with an opening crawl (similar to the famous opening crawls of 'Star Wars' films) which reads, "In Spring 2020, the world went on pause. SOFI TUKKER and Gorgon City both started live streaming. For the past 100+ days straight, people from every continent have joined together during SOFI TUKKER sets and created what they call 'The Freak Fam'." According to NME, the video accumulates footage shared by fans across 118 days, with each clip showing how individuals have been coping up and keeping entertained under quarantine.

In the video we see fans dressed in costume, in prosthetic makeup, showcasing their pets and dance moves, exercising to the music, and more over a steady house beat and Sophie Hawley-Weld singing silky smooth with lyrics like, "I learned how to measure before I knew what was size. I sing you to sleep, do you like my lullaby? La luna de leche, treat your sadness with a smile. You can't have what's next 'til you hang with it for a while."

Since social distancing measures were imposed in March, Sofi Tukker have still kept in touch with fans and entertained them with music, such as their daily DJ sets from their home in Miami. Footage from the DJ sets are also included in the new 'House Arrest' music video.

Sofi Tukker said, “Over the past 118 days, a community has built around our daily DJ sets. The dedication and love that people are sharing with each other in this really unprecedented time in history has been blowing our minds."

“It’s become a place that a lot of people, including ourselves, rely on to get through the uncertainty of it all. They call themselves the freak fam and we directed this video together," they added. When the 'House Arrest' single released in May, Sofi Tukker said, "“Just because we are under “house arrest” doesn’t mean we can’t go to the club in our minds.”
