On the second floor of Cambridge University’s Department of Engineering, behind a vast array of home made speakers and Seventies-era hi-fi equipment, sits a rarely-used container-sized room called the Anechoic Chamber – a room designed to create total silence.

The second single from Bailey Rae’s The Sea album finds the singer on location in Paris, beautifully photographed by Riego Van Werschand for this classy grown-up Charles Mehling production. Some might say it has been a tad influenced by the final series of Sex And The City…

Following the worldwide sensation and Grammy-winner that was their treadmill video for Here We Go Again, the strangely alluring OK Go are back.
Co-directed with Brian L. Perkins, their new one-shot vid for new single This Too Shall Pass features the Notre Dame marching band and, of course, was shot for real. It also promises [...]

OneInThree (aka Ross and Bugsy) strike a very homegrown British tone with this urban reading of Wiley’s Never Be Your Woman. In the time it takes to walk down the stairs of a London tower block, he turns from young boy to young man. That’s actually how long it takes to get out the building [...]

Gramophonedzie, aka dance DJ Marko Hollywood, samples the Peggy Lee swing standard Why Don’t You Do Right – marrying it to a house beat to great effect. And this fun treatment by Tim and Joe of JMD does the track full justice, keeping up the pressure throughout.

It’s not what you might expect from the first video of a new Massive Attack album.
Toby Dye’s film for Paradise Circus is a short documentary, an interview with Georgina Spelvin, the eponymous star of The Devil In Miss Jones – apparently the seventh most successful film at the box office in 1973, and certainly one [...]

A lovely merging of a compelling idea with performance for Corinne Bailey Rae’s return by Jamie Thraves.
