Top Music Videos 2013 – No. 10-6

10. Russ Chimes – »Turn Me Out« directed by Mathy & Fran. A fantastically choreographed music video to a powerful disco/house track. The London based directing duo have taken the vibe of that anthem and created a sophisticated performance video that combines modern dance with very atypical elements. By the way: Russ Chimes didn’t start the »Turn Me Out« craze. It all goes back to 1994 in Cutting Records Studios in New York City.

9. Yeah Yeah Yeahs – »Sacrilege« directed by Megaforce. Sacrilege is the epic and stormy first single from Yeah Yeah Yeahs‘ fourth album »Mosquito«. Watch mindful: The video consists of chronologically reversed sequence. We slowly see a story pieced together of how a group of people end up shooting a man and burning a woman alive from end to beginning. Starring actress Lily Cole who stirs up a riotous witch-hunt among the outraged townsfolk.

8. Oneohtrix Point Never – »Problem Areas« directed by Takeshi Murata. Like the song, the video is completely artificial like an artificial still life. His colorful, immaculate hyperealistic digital pop art consists of apparently mundane everyday objects arranged in seemingly random compositions. Or as Lopatin said, »I wanted to characterize a linear world with cracks in its edifice.« Watch and enjoy the eye-catching music video for Oneohtrix Point Never’s first WARP single release.

7. Major Lazer – »Bubble Butt« directed by Eric Wareheim of comedy team Tim and Eric. In this clip huge butts are getting injected into »bubble butts« – several women’s asses are injected with air like balloons! This clip is a totally insane, hypercoloured, rear-jiggling frenzy, featuring a giant Buttzilla lady and her dance companions. And don’t forget: Contrary to popular belief Bubble Butts are not big asses. »Bubble Butts are round like a globe, usually complement a slender body.«

6. Dizzee Rascal – »I Don’t Need A Reason« directed by Emile Sornin. Damn! Dizzee is the king. An excellent video completely twisted, based on video loops and animated GIFs. It’s the work of french director Emile Sornin, who gained acclaim last year for Alt-J’s »Fitzpleasure« clip. Watch and be amazed.

Pursuit

This video is incredible, a rectangular array of symbols and arrangements, evil, and violently sexy. Envisioned and directed by Fleur & Manu, the camera is constantly backing away from a series of strange surroundings. French techno producer and DJ Gesaffelstein has contributed his great techno banger »Pursuit«. A masterpiece of a music video.

 

Dancing Anymore

The future of teenager fantasy film may based on this clip. This is the story of a poolboy on the verge of puberty. His daily work slows down due to an unexpected thought. The music comes from Is Tropical, the video is directed by Megaforce. Most definitely the craziest scenario of the year.

Giddy

Perera Elsewhere, the new signing from Friends of Friends has finally gifted us with the second tune from her long-awaited debut LP, »Everlast«. Featuring appearances by Gonjasufi, Aremu and Springitgut, the album boasts an impressive array of styles ranging from the bizarre to the melancholic. »Giddy« is the second single release featuring the now infamous L.A. artist Gonjasufi. The video, directed by Ewelina Aleksandrowicz & Andrzej Wojtas (who work as Pussykrew), is fantastic.

Oneohtrix Point Never – Problem Areas

Daniel Lopatin’s new Oneohtrix Point Never album »R Plus Seven« stands shortly before the release via new label home Warp. Previously watch the eye-catching hyper-real music video from artist Takeshi Murata for his first single »Problem Areas«.

New Summer

Hungry for televised violence and a spectacular doomsday scenario? In the case of Young Galaxy’s »New Summer« by director Ivan Grbovic, the disaster finds its way on your screen in a spectacular way. The end of the world never sounded so relaxed.
