In South Africa, BITE MANAGEMENT Trio Benedikt HUGENDUBEL (2nd Unit DOP), Specter BERLIN (direction) and Armin FRANZEN (DOP) shot the unusually elaborate music video for Marteria's new single Aliens feat. Teutilla. The song Aliens is from the album Roswell which will be released on 26 May and is a hymn about being different – played on all radio stations all day. Underscoring Marteria's rap parts in the song is the voice of Beatsteak frontman Arnim Teutoburg-Weiß.
Art Director Specter from BITE MGMT developed, among other things, Sido’s famous skull mask and filmed several advertising clips after his Berlin-based record label AGGRO BERLIN closed shop. For the Aliens project, Specter and Marteria oriented their work on various sci-fi films – for instance Star Wars, District 9, ... for which the rapper performed in dusty picturesque townships, including spacecraft and the appropriate uniforms, one or two aliens – all surrounded by loads of cheerful extras. And if that is not enough for you: get a load of sexy Arnim Teutoburg-Weiß lost in space in desert wearing an astronaut suit. It was produced by Berlin's Doity Produktion GmbH.
