New Video – Small Black : Real People
Small Black has released a video for “Real People”, the title track off of their forthcoming 12″ EP. Helmed by Nick Bentgen, this video perpetuates the off-beat beauty from Bentgen and Small Black’s previous joint venture for “Breathless”. Bentgen described the concept behind the video and working with Small Black:
Video – Bob Dylan : Like a Rolling Stone
The greatest music video in history has now been made. 48 years after the release of Bob Dylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone,” a music video has now been made for the classic and it was well worth the wait.
Video – Major Lazer – Jet Blue Jet (feat. Leftside, GTA, Razz & Biggy)
I can’t imagine that Jet Blue is going to be using this for promo anytime soon, but here’s a new wildly trippy Major Lazer video for “Jet Blue Jet” featuring Leftside off Free The Universe bringing new meaning to the mile “high” club. Check it below:
Video – Avec Sans : Hold On + Left-Field Remix
Avec Sans are soon to be releasing new single “Shiver”. In the meantime check out the remix they did of last single “Hold On”. It’s the first time we’ve seen an original video re-envisioned to fit a remix. Both videos are by Chief Productions and Sing J Lee (Pins/Chvrches director) and both the original and the stuttering, left-field remix are audio/visual feasts.
Video – Har Mar Superstar : Prisoner (feat. Juliette Lewis)
Julian Casablancas label Cult Records presents Har Mar Superstar getting rad and romantic with Juliette Lewis on BMX bikes in the new video for “Prisoner”. Oddly Familiar. Where have I seen this before?

Video – Daft Punk : Lose Yourself to Dance

Video – Caveman : In the City
Watch Caveman’s horrifying new video for “In the City” starring Julia Stiles. A tourist couple visits New York City for the first time. They soon discover that underneath the surface of the playground of the city, lies a world of darkness and horror.
New Video – Petite Meller : Backpack
Chegg out the stylish and “cheeky” new video for “Backpack” from “nuovo jazzy-pop” singer and native Parisian Petite Meller. Directed by A.T. Mann & Napoleon Habeica (the Mexican photographer who created the American Apparel visual aesthetic),”Backpack” is a memoir of a French summer vacance, shot in the French Riviera that pays homage to French New Wave Cinema, winking at Godard’s “Pierrot le Fou” and George Henri Cluzot’s “L’Enfer”.
Video – Mock Suns : You Only Live Twice (007 Nancy Sinatra Cover)
You Only Live Twice…lives twice. Watch a live, psyched-out cover of Nancy Sinatra’s classic James Bond theme – You Only Live Twice – from Philly’s Mock Suns. One of the worst James Bond movies with still one of the best themes.
Video – Blue Hawaii : Try To Be
Blue Hawaii, Arbutus Records and many of their Montreal counter-parts all began with the same breath in early 2010. To date they’ve released an 8 song EP: in May of that year, Blooming Summer (Arbutus Records 2010) was recorded following the pair’s travels in Central America. It frames a time of warmth and novelty, featuring dense female harmonies, tape saturated synths, guitars and drum machines. Eventually Ra– returned to her role in BRAIDS, touring constantly, while Ag–moved to Europe, treading deeper into dance music, electronics, and production.
The duo notice that throughout the changing social and personal landscape which is one’s twenties, these divided notions and people somehow stay together. Even the name Blue Hawaii suggests a kind of melancholic, jaded paradise, but a paradise afterall. It is because – or perhaps in spite of – these disjointed intersections that the record is called Untogether.

Video – Disclosure : F For You
Disclosure’s new video for “F For You” is a change up from the narratives of their past clips, but is no less impressive as the Lawrence brothers star in it themselves, showing off their new live show and some wavy visuals to go along. Their debut album Settle #5 on the iTunes chart (#1 Dance) and was the #1 album in the UK in it’s first week.
