D.O.D releases music video for 'Set Me Free', plus new music coming from Chicane

It’s been a whirlwind year for UK heavyweight D.O.D who is still garnering huge success with club anthem ‘Set Me Free’. Already approved by the likes of James Hype and Franky Rizardo, this floor filler now has its own music video which was unveiled last Friday. Directed by Simon Lane and filmed in Peckham, Southeast London, the video captures the longing to escape the day. Over three minutes viewers will see two office workers, a post man and a launderette worker going about their daily business and longing for their Friday night, cutting to scenes of them on the dancefloor – a dream soon to become reality when the day is over! 

D.O.D Set Me Free

For those that can’t wait for more, D.O.D’s next single arrives this Friday: ‘So Much In Love’. With a killer vocal, nostalgic chords and a no-nonsense groove designed to get the crowd moving, ‘So Much In Love’ ticks all the boxes of a fully straight-up summer anthem.
