Chris Turner - aka&nbsp;Favourite Colour: Black - joins forces with Studio Job to create this witty, visually inventive&nbsp;promo for Mika's sensual lament, Apocalypse Calypso.The exuberant promo balances Mika’s exuberant performance with the remarkable creations of Job Smeets, Netherlands-based&nbsp;atelier&nbsp;of conceptual art, at his studio in Tilburg. They come together in a series of playful vignettes where the singer himself becomes part of the studio’s art.&nbsp;It's a&nbsp;tour de force&nbsp;of creative collaboration - which also features cameos from Job Smeets and wife Sharkey - and elevates the mercurial Mika's&nbsp;music to a new level.[imgtoken data:1]"I was given access to a huge selection of beautifully strange artworks to use however I liked," explains Turner."The solid bronze couch -&nbsp;so heavy it needed a forklift to move it - is a sculptural representation of the late designer Jan des Bouvrie’s iconic Cubic sofa; the imposing sculpted angel wing piano created especially for Mika; a glittering globe, hand-crafted from half a million coloured Swarovski crystals. Pumpkin lamps with hand-blown googly eyes; Giant bronze magnifying glasses."We even got to cover Mika head-to-toe with Job’s trademark papier mâché finish. Combine these with Mika’s inimitable style - check out the suit made from 6000 custom-made mirror tiles - and you have a wonderful set of ingredients to work with."[vidtoken data:0]

A sparky, colour-coded confection for Pixey by Vasilisa Forbes,&nbsp;bringing a summery Britpop vibe to the early summer of 2022 for Come Around.&nbsp;&nbsp;"I was inspired by the lead lyric in Come Around&nbsp;which referenced a sunny day, and immediately saw Pixey in a world of glowing light,"&nbsp;says Vasilisa Forbes.&nbsp;"Each set up is an ode to a sunny day, artistic recreations of what makes me happy -sunshine. Sunset gradients, hot white light, dawn, a deep blue sky, and Pixey herself as a sun-flower growing in the lush earth."Everything is circles and circular movement, repetition, rising and falling, dark to light, and a super-fast-fun edit."

Chloe Hayward pays homage to iconic director&nbsp;Michel Gondry in her roller skating extravaganza&nbsp;for Public Service Broadcasting.&nbsp;Creating a visual dichotomy from the first frame, the contrast of dizzyingly vibrant costumes and gloomy post-industrial backdrops takes viewers on a hallucinatory trip through a choreographed fever dream.Evoking memories of classic Chemical Brothers&nbsp;and&nbsp;New Order&nbsp;promos, Hayward experiments with movement and colour,&nbsp;intermittently surreal and mesmerising with masterful flair.&nbsp;The video is an anachronistic dream that leaves an immediate impression - and a burning desire to hit the repeat button.[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2][imgtoken data:3]

This stunning new video from&nbsp;Nick Walters for Aurora explores the&nbsp;suppression of emotion and its ultimate futility.Using natural imagery and motifs, Walters&nbsp;reinforces&nbsp;the wild and uncontrollable nature of feeling and through several sequences of interpretative dance from Aurora, enhanced by the addition of delicate animation of plants growing around her face, they&nbsp;create&nbsp;a truly cinematic experience for his viewer.&nbsp;

Greg Barnes creates a wise, world-weary character to personify the lyrics of Trim, in his video for Catching Flies.Our hero is a suitably reflective figure found in different locations around London for The Light by Catching Flies, who has been described as sitting on the &quot;smooth, mellow side of electronic music&quot; somewhere &quot;between Flying Lotus and Bonobo&quot;.

Being young is a bumpy ride - an emotional highway, the constant battle between you and the outside world, trials and tribulations of love, new friendships, discovering and honing your identity, sexuality, persona, style and desires. It&#39;s a drive towards the future.And that&rsquo;s exactly how Vasilisa Forbes visualises Young, her latest video for GIRLI.

Girli-'Young'-by-Vasilisa-Forbes

London is in flames and has completely fallen. Okay things are pretty bad, but no worries, Big Zuu and JME are in charge now. They have everything under control, with their super fighting skills.Harry Cauty creates a dystopian comedy videogame scenario that combines eye-popping lo-fi VFX with a healthy dose of humour. Bloody good stuff.&nbsp;&nbsp;
