Australian trio PNAU today unveil the captivating video for their latest euphoric anthem ‘All Of Us’. Filmed in the Californian desert and starring vocalist Ollie Gabriel as the protagonist surrounded by 100 dancing drone lights, the video echoes the song’s themes of unity and togetherness and was directed by Benjamin Kutsko alongside Miniac Films, who also created the band’s ‘Changa’ video last year.
PNAU’s Nick Littlemore explains the meaning behind the song and the video, “The world we are living in is in drastic need of unifying itself at a prodigious rate; the role of the artist has always been to bring the hearts and minds of people together for the betterment of humanity. We are merely servants to the cause. This song is here to evoke a feeling of togetherness, not just an idea or ephemeral concept that passes like yesterday’s social media posts, but one that hopes to create a lasting legacy in the hearts of the listener with the truest of feeling. In this video we hope to achieve that. Ollie is the embodiment of humanity, able to channel the stars and bring them close enough so that we may feel their warmth and light through our cold digital screens. He is the dancer of all ages, the essence of all, for if we stop dancing, we cease to exist. Like he says in the lyrics, “If a shark stops swimming it dies, and I can’t stay alive if I don’t dance tonight.” A shark’s role is to swim; a human’s is to dance!”
Littlemore came across Ollie Gabriel on a random night out in his adopted home of Los Angeles. “I was instantly drawn to him and his energy,” he explains.
Hailing from Louisiana, Ollie Gabriel was inspired by a diverse musical upbringing. He started playing piano and writing songs when he was only 8 years old. After high school he joined the army to pay for college, and was activated twice to go to Iraq post-9/11. Ollie most recently graced US prime time TV on NBC’s Songland performing for guest judge John Legend. Prior to this, Ollie broke out with a European radio hit in 2017 with his single ‘Running Man’ which went top 10 in Germany.
PNAU is the multi-platinum selling, ARIA award winning electronic act of Nick Littlemore (Empire of the Sun), Peter Mayes and Sam Littlemore, famed for their extensive career born out of the underground clubs and festival dancefloors of Australia. PNAU also hold the acclaimed title of giving Elton John his first UK No.1 album in 22 years when they collaborated with the legendary Rocketman on the 2012 album ‘Good Morning To The Night’. Sir Elton discovered PNAU’s music on an Australian tour and handed over his enormous back catalogue of music to them to rearrange and remix – a moment of serendipity in PNAU’s stellar career, with their relationship with Elton continuing to this day.
With a catalogue of their own hits and multiple albums behind them, PNAU have enjoyed a powerful renaissance over the past few years, with multi-platinum hits ‘Go Bang’ and ‘Chameleon’ becoming inescapable on the airwaves in their home country of Australia and climbing the Billboard Dance charts in the US. Their most recent single, the disco-tinged ‘Solid Gold’, embedded PNAU as the most cutting edge electronic act to watch on a global scale and has just picked up an ARIA Award nomination for Best Video. Vote for ‘Solid Gold’ in the Best Video category here.
‘All Of Us’ is the next chapter in the continually unfolding narrative that is PNAU. Listen, dance and be elevated with its uplifting message of joy and escapism.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
