KAYEX REVEAL ICONIC ISOLATION MUSIC VIDEO FOR NEW SINGLE “I’LL DO WHAT U WANT”
Sydney’s favourite electronic act Kayex have revealed a very special music video today, filmed and edited isolation-style by the duo, Palassi Kailis and Tom Derickx. Inspired by isolation and the resulting makeshift house parties with family and roommates, the video features actresses Samara Weaving and Isabelle Durant, football stars Ivan Soldo, Aliir Aliir, Oleg Markov, a huge cast of social media stars, as well as the duo’s family, friends, and pets.
Putting a positive spin on the world’s current situation, the video is heartwarming, electrifying, and is certain to make you get up and dance, providing the perfect accompaniment to Kayex’s latest groovy dance jam “I'LL DO WHAT YOU WANT”. A crucial slice of giggles, silliness and fun, the video is intended to help the duo’s fans survive these crazy times.
“Honestly, the effort people went to for this video left us speechless,” said KAYEX. “It’s so great to see how people can still come together in isolation. We almost get emotional over how people just went for it! It gives the song even more energy.”

From school friends in Perth, to studio partners in Sydney, KAYEX’s members Palassi Kailis and Tom Derickx introduce their music with a timeless, fluid and thought provoking aura, and an abundance of genres from indie pop to funky electronic.
The duo debuted their live show at Sydney’s Listen Out Festival, and in late 2018 won the triple j Unearthed competition that allowed them to perform at Sydney’s Field Day Festival on New Year’s Day 2019. They also supported SG Lewis on his national Australian tour in 2018, played for brands such as GQ, Corona Sunsets in Japan, Tommy Hilfiger, Louis Vuitton, Budweiser and Heineken. They also supported Crooked Colours on their national Australian tour in 2019.
Their debut EP “Tempus in LA” was successfully released late last year, and gained nearly 250k streams in 3 months. Drawing from inspirations such as Daft Punk, Kanye West and Chance the Rapper, there is no doubt that KAYEX will continue to push boundaries in 2020.
