The Reids return with their sixth music video for Mura Masa, and once again bring the viewer into the heart of a joyful gathering, courtesy of a riveting device.The video for Hands Up follows on from previous collabs with the Guernsey-born producer, songwriter and DJ, capturing the buzz of a houseparty in full swing. It's authenticity is captured through the intimate details - enabled by tracking the movement of the partygoers' hands.As with directing duo William and Ed Reid's video for I'm Really Hot (For Myself) - also on Mura Masa's Curve 1 EP, this was shot on the iPhone 17 Pro. It's undoubtedly a great showcase for the capabilities of the camera - allied to a razorsharp edit by Nik Kohler. But the concept and the unmistakeable party spirit is all down to The Reids - you've got to hand it to them.

Phoebe Dowling latest video for rising artist SCARLET follows her on a strange journey of self-discovery - involving horses, guns, fishing and a bold barrage of Y2K graphics.A maximalist, campy delight, SCARLET rides across an overcast landscape, hunting herself down and feasting on her prey.Complimented by hot-pink graphics and on-screen lyrics, the video never gives the viewer a moment to breathe, pulling them deep into the singer's weird and wonderful world.'i wish it was you' is out on all streaming platforms, and marks the beginning of a new era for the artist, following her previous EP, Glorified Daydreams.

Joshua Kissi directs a breezy combination of performance with heartwarming vignettes for singer and rapper MoRuf's collab with SZA.The video for PT Cruiser is inspired by the nostalgic sensibilities of the iconic retro-inspired Chrysler, playing out in a laidback suburban concept, celebrating love, friendship and family. “The PT Cruiser has always felt like more than a car to me," says Joshua Kissi. "It’s a time capsule that holds the spirit of moments past, present, and what’s still to come. It represents a certain kind of suburban dream that shaped who we are and how we see the world."Each vignette in this film ties back to that feeling, the warmth of nostalgia, the small pieces of our past that still live within us today."Boasting a heightened, even dreamlike aesthetic, the video balances style and substance, with brilliant performances from the artists and featured actors alike. "Working with MoRuf over the years has been a meticulous journey of shaping his visual language around memory, community, and truth," Kissi continues. "His friendship with SZA, rooted in their shared history and growth, gave this song and film an even deeper resonance."There’s something powerful about watching their worlds reconnect. It made everything about this project feel alive, familiar, and full of heart.”
