Video: Y Luv – “All Night”
Not too long ago, I posted Y Luv‘s “All Night”, a straight-up jam from the Los Angeles based band. The short, infectious track was the single from Y Luv’s newest EP, How Chill Can You Let Go?, and now has a set of visuals that come straight out of Venice Beach. Don’t expect to understand what’s going on in this one, but hey, at least the song’s good, right?

Video: SBTRKT – “Pharoahs (feat. Roses Gabor)”
British producer SBTRKT may still be hiding behind his mask, but his music is certainly making waves. His newest single “Pharoahs”, from his fantastic self-titled debut album, has received an artistic set of visuals, keeping things simple with multiple shots of guest vocalist Roses Gabor singing her lines over SBTRKT’s intricately-crafted post-dubstep beats. We still are unable to see past the producer’s mask, with randomly dispersed shots of him painting the camera with black paint and what seems to be a peak through the eyes of the mask. Abstract, mysterious, but beautiful — a formula that not only describes this video, but also his vibrant music. You can watch for yourself below.
SBTRKT is out now via Young Turks.

Video: Matt & Kim (feat. Soulja Boy and Andrew WK) – “I’m A Goner”
Last year, Converse brought together Kid Cudi, Vampire Weekend‘s Rostam Batmanglij, and Best Coast to create the cheery “All Summer”. Yet again, Converse has created another random combination of musicians, putting together Soulja Boy, Andrew WK, and Matt & Kim to create the extremely catchy “I’m A Goner”, recorded at the Converse Rubber Tracks studio in Brooklyn. Talk about a weird group.
The video features the foursome rising from the dead to “throw a raging dance party in a morgue.”
