Walter Sobcek have just put together a video for the track ‘Hollywood Cries’, taken from their awesome ‘Miami’ EP of last year.
The B-side to the title track of the EP, ‘Hollywood Cries’ was no less impressive slick Dreamwave. Lazy La nights brilliance with a passing nod to Bronski Beat. The video, a homage to lives crushed by the Hollywood meat grinder is pretty brutal viewing.

I suppose I had better mention that Sébastien Tellier’s new video for the awesome ‘Cochon Ville’ is pretty NSFW. I don’t usually mention that as I figure we’re all adults here and the idea of getting people into trouble at work amuses me. I mention it now though, as I don;t really want to get anyone fired. So, basically, boobs and cock. You have been warned.
Alexandre Courtes, who recently did Justice’s ‘On ‘N’ On’ clip, directs this Tellier worshipping orgy of stuff, and orgying. With Tellier as blue god overseeing his Disco minions and whipping the up into a state of ecstasy, the video is sure to draw some attention. Come for the clip, stay for the ace tunes.
‘Cochon Ville’ is the first single taken from Sébastien Tellier‘s new album ‘My God Is Blue’ available today via Record Makers.

Denmark’s heavyweight champions of ElectroPop Alphabeat are back with a new video for the lead single off their forthcoming new album. It’s called ‘Vacation’ and it’s scary colourful.
Taking the ‘Vacation’ theme seriously the clip sees the band prove that waiting around in a airport doesn’t need to be dull, if fact it can be so much fun it’ll probably induce seizures. The colours are as bright as the melodies. Pure European Pop gold.
‘Vacation’ is out now.

Aussie Indie-Electro rising starts Rüfüs’ ‘This Summer’ finally has gone and got itself a video, not sure what it’s been doing with it’s time before this that was so important though?
Alexander George directs this collection of youths-loosing-themselves-in-good-times-and-getting-a-bit-rowdy-in-slow-motion clip which, whilst being a tad unoriginal, actually looks really nice and works perfectly with the track.
Rüfüs’ EP that contains ‘This Summer’ is out now on Gigpiglet/Inertia .

Glitch superstar Squarepusher is back with a new album, ‘Ufabulum’ and this new single and video for it’s lead track ‘Dark Steering’.
I’ll admit I’ve been quite partial to Squarepusher’s IDM in the past, when he’s not getting too Drill & Bass and I found ‘Dark Steering’ pleasantly surprising for three reasons. 1) It exists 2) The video is slick as all hell 3) It’s wonderfully melodic.
‘Ufabulum’ is released 14th May on Warp, natch.

Goin’ Old School isn’t a trip down music memory lane, it’s a mugging in the dark alleyway of nostalgia:
It’ll always come back to The Human League, that’s a promise. Here’s ‘(Keep Feeling) Fascination’ from 1983’s ‘Fascination!’ EP.
From 1988 it’s Coldcut’s first collaboration with singer Yazz in ‘Doctorin’ The House’. Horns!
Remember when Prince wasn’t batshit insane? Stuff like this happened! Here’s Prince And The Revolution with 1984’s ‘Let’s Go Crazy’.

At the end of last week we gave you a listen to Futurecop! new, and actually first, single. The Diana Gen and Starrset featuring ‘Starworshipper’.
Well, get your eyes around the video to. There’s a lot of Futurecop! clips on YouTube, but this is their first, official, especially filmed promo and director AJ Jackson does a really good job of capturing the essence of Futurecop!’s youthful, optimistic ethos.
‘Starworshipper’ is released 24th April on Keiz Beats.

Kimbra, Mark Foster from Foster The People & A-Trak have all done a track together. It’s something to do with shoes. Converse are doing this ‘3 artists, 1 song’ series, I’m not really sure what it’s all about and all the information about it seems to assume I already do. Apologies for not being up to date on the goings on in the world of music based shoe PR campaigns.
The track is very very very good though. Surprisingly for this kind of collaboration you can really hear each artists influence and the result is an Electro-edgy Pop track that rises above it’s ‘shoe promo’ origins.
You can download the track, and presumably buy shoes, here.
We featured Danz A.K.A. Computer Magic’s new EP back in February, now there’s a video for the EP’s lead track.
It’s a really nice clip, sometimes uncomfortable, sometimes cute, sometimes nerdy. DIY videos at their best.
