Paco Raterta chooses violence in his explosive promo for No Rome's When She Comes Around.Intercutting fiercely vivid imagery, quick cuts and an exploding jeep, the resulting project - shot in Manila, Raterta's home city&nbsp;- is&nbsp;visceral and hypnotic, and&nbsp;anchored by a wonderfully intense performance from the artist.&nbsp;The burning urban landscapes are a perfect backdrop to the concept, whilst the glitchy, dirty textures which overlay the image add a certain grit and authenticity to the aesthetic. It's brilliantly shot by JA Tadena, and edited and graded by Raterta himself to create a mesmerising experience.

It&#39;s time for Unfair Fight Club in the new video for The Prodigy by Paco Raterta: a&nbsp;young man and woman face ridiculous odds in a two staged battles for an ominous spectator. And that makes for&nbsp;a turbo-charged, relentlessly violent spectacle.It&#39;s the second collaboration between Manila-based Raterta and the UK dance legends, following the rip-roaring&nbsp;Need Some1 earlier this year, and this one for Timebomb Zone adds to Raterta&#39;s growing reputation as a real talent to watch - one of the best new talents to come into music videos in the last year, and a thrilling action director in any medium.This one, also shot in Manila, also benefits for having a couple of underdogs you can root for - who are nonetheless capable of some eye-wateringly vicious moves. It&#39;s not for the squeamish, but The Prodge&#39;s ode to mayhem deserves nothing less.
