With a riveting performance from Northern Soul dancer Steve Cato, Ferry Gouw focuses on the emotional vibe of Above &amp; Beyond's Sun And Moon, as Cato attempts to dance away the pain of a relationship gone wrong.
"I'm trying to bring back the idea of dancing as a transcendental act, where the discipline represents an emotional life beyond the merely hedonistic," explains Ferry. "Northern soul is the closest thing to this. We tried really hard to approach it cinematically, and avoid doing a retro pastiche."

Like a classic Roxy Music album sleeve coming to life, Ferry Gouw captures the lounge lizard in all his stylish glory on new single You Can Dance, with Ferry (Bryan, that is) in his element surrounded by beautiful women. 
"Bryan wanted to portray the video as a band performance in perhaps the seediest most glamorous and exclusive underground club where beautiful people are all high on life," explains Ferry (Gouw).
"We always loved the idea of using Wilton's Music Hall as a location. It was just about pinpointing the kind of atmosphere we wanted, and it seems like we came to a common ground on, of all things, Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit. I think the smoke, and dirt, mixed in well with the gold and glamour and the dark undertones of the track. The slow motion confetti is also a nice little nod to Roxy's Manifesto"

An exceptionally psychedelic freakout for the Archie Bronson Outfit by Ferry Gouw, channelling the rich imaginative vein of previous work for Major Lazer, Lightspeed Champion, etc., then ramping it up a couple of notches. His adventure of destructive Space Mongol cowboys is by different turns comical and unnerving, consistently eye-boggling - and ideally suited to the garage-acid flavour of ABO's Shark Tooth. 
"The video was somewhat based on David Carradine's Kung Fu series set in space, mixed with Flash Gordon, and Thor/He-Man," explains Ferry. "They're a group of spiritual space explorers that somehow transform every environment they encounter - as both liberator and disease - before moving on to farther shores."

Dev from Lightspeed Champion has hooked up once again with the multi-talented Ferry Gouw to make the new video for Marlene. It's as intriguingly off-centre as their epic collaboration for <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watchv=3rMwc10uNOg&amp;feature=player_embedded#" target="_blank">Midnight Surprise</a> two years ago - and even more disorientating. 
This one - shot at the Death Valley National Park and surrounding area over the course of three days - starts like No Country For Old Men turns into something far trippier.
"The video focuses on paranoia and how it attacks and takes hold, never letting things be as they should," says producer David Beazley. "It's a cinematic ode to David Lynch, 60's Bond movies and in debt to photography by Stephen Shore."

Ferry Gouw, who's done all the fantastic illustrations so far for Major Lazer, got in touch with Trunk Animation to add animation to the club-set live action footage - directed in the States by Jason Miller. 
"The look of the video was inspired by those washed-out horror movies you used to sit and watch time and time again on VHS," says Trunk producer Richard Barnett, "So the footage and animation were composited with this in mind, and then de-saturated in the grade."
