Bingo Players took an unexpectedly gritty approach to his (it’s now a solo project) “Knock You Out” video. Directed by Lucy Luscombe, the unsettling clip makes a powerful statement against domestic violence by following the journey of a young woman who escapes an abusive relationship and slowly rebuilds her confidence. Don’t worry, there’s a happy ending!

It’s an unusually dark theme for a soaring club anthem but Maarten Hoogstraten is passionate about the issue. “I think everyone can relate to her struggles in one form or another and know that deep down we are stronger than we might think.” That sentiment is shared by the director, who hopes the video will resonate with younger viewers. Watch the ultimately uplifting video up top.
