Chromeo premiere ‘Hot Mess’ video

I’m still reeling from Chromeo’s mind-blowingly awesome live show in Bristol last week, I’ve seen a lot of gigs this year and this was probably the best.

One week later and the duo drop the video for their forthcoming single ‘Hot Mess’, taken from their current album ‘Business Casual’. The video, directed by Jérémie Rozan, see Dave and Pee struggling to make it as cops in a woman’s world…a sexy woman’s world!

The single is out 17th January and, as I’m sure you’re all aware of by now, will feature a duet version of the track with La Roux’s Elly Jackson and contains reMixes from the likes of Duck Sauce and Tiga.

LexiconDon’s ‘December Sunset’ video

If you’re looking for something the humourless masses can get freaked out about in the new LexiconDon video you’re gonna’ be sorely disappointed.

After the internet got it’s collective blogging panties in a bunch over LD’s last video, ‘December Sunset’ holds no surprises. It is, however, a slick, interestingly filmed performance video that makes me wish that a) the weather was better and b) that LexiconDon would come tour the UK.

Check out LexiconDon’s album, ‘Pink + Blue’, out now on dubFrequency/Binary.

Hear The Human League’s new single, ‘Night People’

The Human League recently débuted their forthcoming new single ‘Night People’ at a live show in Berlin and luckily it was captured by audience members with cameraphones.

Taken from the album ‘Credo’, set for release in March 2011, the ‘Night People’ single will come with reMixes from Mylo, The Emperor Machine and Villa.

It’s not possible to fully judge the new single from this footage, but it does give a clue as to what we can expect.

I’m thinking there is a bit of a ‘Sound Of The Crowd’ vibe going on here. We’re defiantly looking forward to this release, and catching The League live next month.

Video Villain’s ‘Fearless’ video

It looks like all things Video Villain are about to blow up! The girls have premiered their first proper music video, for ‘Fearless’ and it’s pretty damn slick.

As a music fan, writer, promoter and musician myself it’s always really exiting to watch a band from infancy to something really special. e.r. was, I believe, the first place to write about Lucy and Marie, way back in the distant past of February 2009, after they rose from the ashes of a broken Dead Disco. Carving their mark with raw, emotive electronics on a Little Boots obsessed summer you could tell they were, and still are, bound for greatness.

It’s taken a while but with a brand new website, their first live show supporting Midnight Juggernauts, the video for ‘Fearless’ and an EP due out it seems like Video Villain’s time is finally here. A change really is going to come!

A dark and dangerous video, like VV’s music and a great introduction to the band. I also really like Lucy and Marie’s face-to-face synth rig, I hope they carry that over into their live shows,

Keep your ear to the ground for Video Villain news and go show them some of your finest MySpace love!

Parallels’ ‘Dry Blood’ video

Toronto’s Parallels are a big favourite round our way. The perfect blend of ElectroPop and 80’s synthesizer Disco who sound every bit as classic as the do fresh.

Anyway, here’s the new video for their forthcoming single ‘Dry Blood’, the storming third track on their début album ‘Visionaries’.

Not the video in my mind when I hear the track, but a video that works strangely well nonetheless.

‘Visionaries’ is put now. go check it out.

Daft Punk – Tron music video

Well, part music video, part promo reel, part Tron Legacy trailer set to Daft Punk’s soundtrack piece ‘Derezzed’.

What we’ve heard of the soundtrack so far sounds amazing and this video, not only features loads of new footage from the movie, but also give us our first on-screen glimpse of Guy and Thomas in their roles as ‘mp3 files’ (read DJs) in the movie.

I love the way the soundtrack had lots of contemporary action movie signatures, but weaving in and out of them are phrases of analog synths or distorted drums, seems like a perfect blend of score and electronics.

Tron: Legacy hit cinemas 17th December. Both the movie and Daft Punk’s soundtrack are so highly anticipated here it’s not even funny. December can’t come soon enough!
