Expo’s ‘I Don’t Mind’ video
Expo, the Belgian act who are “part of a rather well-known Belgian DJ-formation.” have premiered the video for their ‘’I Don’t Mind’ track.
It’s directed by Tim Blancke. And the dude in it is apparently an actor named Kim Hertogs, so who Expo are we still have no clue, no do we even know what a DJ Formation is. Loving the song though.
You can download the single from free on Expo’s Facebook page.

Kid Kasio’s new video
UK SynthPop wizard Kid Kasio is back with a brand new tune and video.
Shot on location in New Orleans at their 6 Flags theme park ,which was destroyed by hurricane Katrina in 2005, Nathan Cooper once again proves that with talent and vision you really can do it yourself, without a major labels budget, and produce indistinguishable results.
His latest tune, ‘Over And Over’, perfectly captures that meeting of melancholy and hopefulness that was only really done well in the 80’s with reflective and nostalgic subject matter set against uplifting melodies. The video was directed by Dominic Cooper with photography direction from Ben Todd and Rufus Sewell (yes, that Rufus Sewell).
Kid Kasio is now equipped with a shiny new keyboard rig and ready to take his sound live!
Check out Kid Kasio’s music on SoundCloud.
