UK production duo Bondax spent 2012 releasing a slew of impressive singles, and they kicked off 2013 with another new one, "Gold," a charming cut balancing future garage, deep house, and hip hop with guest lead vocals from Joe Janiak. Now director Sam Pilling has given the track an all-too-appropriate video treatment in a gold-covered clip which you can watch below. Also below is the video for their 2012 single, "Baby I Got That," a version of that single's b-side, "It's You," with Kilo Kish on vocals, and a Moon Boots remix of "Gold."

Bondax came to North America late last year, when they played Glasslands with Star Slinger, and they've just announced that they're returning for a tour in March which includes SXSW and hits NYC on March 18 at Santos Party House with Kidnap Kid and Rudimental (DJ). TIckets for that show are on sale now.

A list of all dates, the tour flyer, and those videos below...
