This is the video for ElectroPop rabble rousers Icona Pop’s presumable soon-to-be smash hit All Night, that’ll be more shouty, chaotic, thumping Pop music then.
Dori Oskowitz directs the clip, which is 30% celebration of New York’s ballroom scene, 70% product placement. But, hey, we’ve all got to earn a living.
This duo’s début album, to be titled This Is… with drop in September.

She may still be promoting her current single, Romanticise, but that isn’t stopping Australian ElectroPopper Chela from churning out more new tunes. Vegas Nights is taken from the Zero Mixtape and is produced by Le Bruce. it’s five minutes of enigmatic, slo-mo, Funk Pop.
Check the video, directed by Cos We Can. It’s not really much to do with the song, but if you like dudes on bikes you’re sorted.

Here’s the new video for DFA’s Shit Robot’s Reggie Watts featuring, We Got A Love. It comes from a recently released split single with fellow DFA’r The Juan MacLean and it’s a pumping Disco breeze.
The video follows just another normal day in the life of a man filled with stars. Pretty hum-drum really.
Shit Robot’s We Got A Love is out now, flip sided with The Juan MacLean’s Feel Like Movin’, grab the 12” here.

Here’s the video for Skream and Sam Frank’s suspiciously good Nu-Disco powerhouse Rollercoaster, which is still over a month away but already making waves.
Directed by Ian Robertson, the video is good, old fashioned, nihilistic fun. Party at the end of the world. It’s a mirrorball!
Skream’s Rollercoaster is released 27th October.

Acclaimed German House producer Tensnake’s new double A-side single single, See Right Though/58 BPM, featuring Fiora, has already had one video treatment, now the single’s lead track has gone all visual on our asses!
The See Right Through video is more narrative than it’s counterpart, being a proper story, rather and flashing lights.

It always weird us out when labels release a track’s video after the song is out, seems to defeat the point of using it to build excitement for the release. Oh well, we guess Eskimo Recordings have a plan as they have just premiered the video for Australian trio Holy Models’ laid back Tropical Swimming single.
The video is suitably trippy and psychedelic, but with a nice chilled, summery, thread running throughout.
Holy Models Swimming is out now.

Here’s the new video from Nitzer Ebb frontman, the unmistakable Douglas J. McCarthy. Move On is taken from McCarthy’s recent solo long player Kill Your Friends. It’s one of the groovier, bluesier, tracks on the record, but no less abrasive.
Stevenler Paulinger directs the clip, a nice atmospheric slice of Americana with a futuristic blues vibe to match the track.
Douglas J. McCarthy’s Kill Your Friends is out now.
