We love it when a song and video work together perfectly. this is the case with this new video for Walter Sobcek’s ‘Miami’.
The track is a few months old now, but this new video, directed by Diane Sagnier, perfectly captures the chilled, beach, ElectroPop track’s mood featuring model Alice Rausch living it up in the city. It’s a beautifully shot, soft focus, dream of the good life.
‘Miami’ is out now on Schmooze Records.

Here we have the recently premièred video for Billie Ray Martin and Robert Solheim’s The Opiates alter ego’s ‘Silent Comes The Nighttime (Again)’ .
The track is taken from the duo’s excellent ‘Hollywood Under The Knife’ album of last year. A collection of deep and soulful electronic laments that combined the beauty and passion of Billie’s voice with Solheim’s Deep House grooves. The track in question here is an ode to insomnia and both sonically, and in the video, visually manages to convey the nervous, sometimes otherworldly, tension of late night sleep deprivation. Jörn Hartmann directs the video, a dreamlike, monochrome clip with a slight uncomfortable edge.
The Opiates’ ‘Hollywood Cuts (The reMixes)’ is released 26th February on Disco Activisto.

Goin’ Old School isn’t a trip down music memory lane, it’s a mugging in the dark alleyway of nostalgia:
OK, so I’m not sure why ‘Headhunter’ hasn’t made Goin’ Old School yet, but it’s time to rectify that. Anton Corbijn directed Front 242 , in their game changing track from 1988. Be crushed by that bassline, it’s literally all reverb (the original sound was removed).
Pure ‘80’s Synth Funk here from The System and their 1982 track ‘You Are In My System’. This looked well futuristic at the time. I have a feeling that Sci-Fi complex he’s in is actually an office building at 55 John Street in New Youk in the ‘80’s.
In 1983 Punk Impresario Malcolm McLaren brought Hip Hop to the UK, kicking off UK Hip Hop with ‘Buffalo Gals’. It was most people first experience of sampling, turntablism, graffiti and popping.

Here is the new video from Johnny Jewel’s Desire project. It’s for ‘Don’t Call’, a reasonable old, from their 2009 album’ ‘II’, tune given a new lease of life with some dreamy hipster visuals.
Directed by Alberto Rossini in Miami in October during a hurricane watch, the wind and the vintage footage somehow seem to work themselves in to the track amazingly.
‘II’ is out now on Italians Do It Better.

Vincent Did It. Vincent did what?, Well, Vincent did Frankmusik for a while, now he’s doing this thing that sounds like Frankmusik but isn’t. (Hopefully this means a move away from the Cherrytree bland factory)
Here’s the video for the new single, ‘So You’re Alive’, and it;’s pretty damn catchy.
