Prepare yourself for an excellent night of retrofuturistic, heavily Akira inspired street racing courtesy of Amsterdam-based illustrator Stefan Glerum and animation studio Crooked Line for DJ/Producer RipTide. Droning retro synth brings this dark, neon-tinged world to life, replete with a Speed Racer-esque lineup of colorful racers each with their own gimmicks to bring to the table. This is one of those submissions that blurs the line between animated short and music video.
