Things really took off in April - so we hung on to our hats and just tried to hold on, as the videos kept on coming...So it's a substantial round-up this month, including some real blockbusters: Henry Schofield's video for Ed Sheeran and Lil Baby; Autumn de Wilde latest promo for Florence; Harry Styles cool return courtesy of Tanu Muino; and a Todrick Hall epic by Roy Raz - all filmed wholly or partly in pre-war Kyiv.Furthermore we had the latest collab between Kylie Minogue and Sophie Muller (guest-starring disco legend Gloria Gaynor); the latest episode of Samm Henshaw and Jim Pilling's mini-series; 070 Shake reunited with Noah Lee; the continuing adventures of Wet Leg, this time with the versatile Lava La Rue; an intense Bishop Briggs shot by Tim Mattia; the mesmeric Nick Leng video by Josh Sondock... and lots more besides.

Our pick of the videos featured in March demonstrates how things are hotting up in 2022 in terms of music video production.From the return of Arcade Fire and Emily Kai Bock; through to the spectacular ambition of Stromae, reunited with Henry Schofield; Sudan Archives steaming up a furniture store with Jocelyn Anquetil; a subterranean Thom Yorke for The Smile, working with Bait's Mark Jenkin; and the political rage of rapper Residente, collaborating with Gregory Ohrel... There is some very good work here - and, as ever, lots more besides.

Our pick of the videos that featured on Promonews in February, is another smorgasboard of exceptional creativity for Arlo Parks, Chase & Status, Florence, Foals, Grimes, IDLES, Joy Crookes, Koffee, Yves Tumor - and many more.

January is often the sleepiest month of the year for music videos and last month was no different. But if it was the customary quiet start in terms of releases, the big-hitting quality of much of the work made up for it. Big videos for The Weeknd, from Cliqua and Matilda Finn; Grimes hitting gaming culture with Anton Tammi and BRTHR (good move Grimes) and the opening salvos of FKA twigs collab with Aidan Zamiri for Caprisongs. And much good stuff besides...

A year ago Tom Ringsby and Rhory Danniells launched Intergalactic Studios. After a busy inaugural year, they tell us their music video highlights in 2021 - and we find out their plans for 2022.Promonews spoke to Tom Ringsby and Rhory Danniells back in January last year, just as Intergalactic Studios was getting off the ground, and discovered that this new visual content studio was the fruition of the pair's long-established friendship and working relationship. They had met as students at Bournemouth Arts Uni, and "bonded over our matching Director’s Label boxsets and nocturnal habits." After moving to different parts of the world, they started working together when they both returned to London a few years ago.Ringsby and Danniells had spent the previous months building Intergalactic's inaugural roster, and when we spoke to them last year, their first productions were about to be released. That was the start of a stream of distinctive music-related content during the course of the year.Above: Rhory Danniells (left) and Tom Ringsby (right) of Intergalactic StudiosSo a year on, we have checked back in with them, to hear about some of Intergalactic's music video highlights in 2021. This includes work that the versatile pair have directed themselves, and also produced for other directors on the Intergalactic roster - including some of their imaginative forays into capturing live performance. And it looks like going to be even busier in 2022. As they reveal, Intergalactic is working on diversifying into other areas - and adding more directors."We’ve been getting busier in the branded content, fashion and narrative spaces - with exciting work by new signings NWSPK, Guille, Sofia Wilkinson-Steel and a couple others we’re yet to announce. Which is why we’ve expanded our in-house team and are moving to a bigger office and studio space," explains Ringsby."So we’re ready to meet even more great collaborators and take on more amazing projects," says Danniells. "2022 is already looking very exciting."SHAME ‘Live In The Flesh'Continuing their partnership with director Ja Humby and his Molten Jets live-performance series resulted in his strangest instalment yet, as SHAME frontman Charlie Steen got baby-oiled up on stage at a 'sold-out' gig.NME described it best in their four-star review: "Shame - Live in the Flesh: tongue-in-cheek comedy and fierce punk fury.”Rhory Danniells: "Ja Humby’s trademark is bizarre humour and he got free rein with this video. No wonder it led onto directing the Aldona video for Chabuddy G. Bigger and stranger things to come from Ja this year no doubt!”Olivia Dean ‘Slowly’Co-directors Rhory Danniells and Olivia Dean channelled the vulnerability of Slowly, with seamless lighting changes and a Rapunzel-inspired braid in this elegant one-shot video.RD: "Our DOP, Kia Fern Little, did a fantastic job with the lighting. Starting with a simple overhead spotlight and ending on a fully-lit ice-blue set without distracting from Olivia’s wonderful performance was a real achievement."Alewya ‘Jagna’Tom Ringsby brought to life the animalistic energy of Jagna with break-out artist and co-director Alewya in a primal sprint across the desert.Alewya proved to be a real action hero on this.Tom Ringsby: "Sometimes the simplest ideas are the most powerful. Alewya proved to be a real action hero on this. Sprinting alongside our tracking vehicle in the dark rainy weather, spotlight on her face while performing for countless takes. DoP Karol Jurga kept spirits high by shouting ‘Energy!’ All day long.”Joey Maxwell ‘Infrared’amitybloc’s third collaboration with Joey Maxwell resulted in this trippy supermarket night-shift love story featuring a sax-solo by a jazz-broccoli.TR: “This was one of many collaborations we did with amitybloc last year. They always bring the vibes on set, whether shouting across the aisle for Joey to ‘make it trippier!’, or testing out different goggly-eyes options on the crew. We’re always looking forward to the next amitybloc project.”Sigrid ‘Home To You’Rhory Danniells finished off the year with a live Christmas-performance by Sigrid featuring a string quartet in St. Pancras Station.RD: "This was a project of firsts for me, as I had never done a live performance video in the wild before. Filming at a train station did come with its challenges, but Sigrid, the musicians and crew were amazing. A special shout out to the sound team and their 20+ mics.”• Discover more work at Intergalactic Studios here
