Max Vitali presents a sensual and intimate take on the emotional power of dance music in his latest video for Robyn.The&nbsp;intimacy of the moving bodies is emphasised&nbsp;by close ups and depth of field, and a seductive use of colour, with&nbsp;their movements slowed down as they sway to Robyn&#39;s music for Honey.The notable diversity of the participants in Vitali&#39;s dancefloor setting was established in the casting call, which went out on Robyn&#39;s Twitter and Instagram, requesting&nbsp;&quot;modern, diverse, interesting and liberated couples and relationships. Heterosexual, LGBTQ+, gender non-conforming, polyamourous. Body types and ethnic background diversity is a must.&quot;&nbsp;

Anton Tammi&#39;s mesmerizing video for Lykke Li invites the viewer into a woozily erotic drama, with&nbsp;more than a hint of danger.Working with DoP Mathieu Plainfosse, Tammi tells the story of Lykke&#39;s steamy affair with her dark, handsome guy through gorgeous photography and amazing camera moves, shot in an appropriately luscious&nbsp;location. And the passion comes with the edge that their relationship could tip into something far darker.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Director Sacha Barbin draws inspiration from the Russian Orthodox Church in this incredibly shot study of faith and morals for Isaac Delusion.Following a priest from his church and through an urban landscape into the icy wastes, we witness a man&#39;s religious epiphany and a painful adult baptism. Stunning cinematography by Mathieu Plainfossé, fresh from a nomination at the Berlin MVAs, and fantastic, contrasting production design between the grand churches and minimal outdoor ice chapel create a rich tapestry of religious symbolism.

Omen is the second instalment of the four part action-thriller&nbsp;anthology directed by&nbsp;Ryan Hope for Disclosure&#39;s forthcoming album Caracal.&nbsp;The first video of the series was for&nbsp;<a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2015/07/02/disclosure-feat-gregory-porter-holding-ryan-hope" target="_blank">Holding On</a>, and introduced us to our heroine Mariella, a young woman with psychic powers and the ability to see the dead. Set in a dystopian&nbsp;Mexico City of the near future, the video started setting up clues&nbsp;as to her&nbsp;involvement in a some sort of&nbsp;rebellious plot set&nbsp;up by her father.&nbsp;Omen picks up where Holding On left off, with&nbsp;Mariella at&nbsp;yet another mysterious nightclub event, but this time with&nbsp;the addition of long time Disclosure collaborator Sam Smith.And we&#39;re introduced to yet another curious character, a secretive&nbsp;tattoo artist who isn&#39;t here to party. In fact, for a&nbsp;second, we see her&nbsp;working on a very familiar looking tattoo design...&nbsp;

Ryan Hope&#39;s video Disclosure&#39;s Holding On, featuring velvet-voiced Gregory Porter, is the teasing first part of an ambitious four part video anthology to accompany the duo&#39;s forthcoming second album Caracal.Shot in a Mexico City of the near future, the scene is set on a story of rebellion in the face of the sort of high-tech official surveillance that is ominously feasible, and unveiling a young woman with reluctant&nbsp;psychic powers - including&nbsp;the ability to see the dead.It&#39;s a confident and skilful step into movie-style action thriller territory by Ryan Hope, who has incorporated cutting-edge CGI elements into his cinematic style. He&nbsp;also establishes characters and narrative elements that we can expect to be developed and explained in future chapters.We already want to know the significance of that tattoo on her right shoulder...&nbsp;

The French directing duo J.A.C.K. travelled to the mountains of Vercors to make their impressively haunting&nbsp;video for Champs&#39; St. Peters,&nbsp;about a man on the run, who cheats death, but not himself.It starts with a deserter (played by Damien Bonnard) who gets lost in the forest, and dying with exhaustion - only to duplicate into a living body, to continue his journey. It turns out he has at least nine lives - but this way leads to madness...It&#39;s a compelling story told in an epic landscape - and photographed by award-winning DoP Mathieu Plainfosse. It&#39;s also well suited to the haunting folk-rock of the Isle of Wight band of brothers Champs, whose debut album Down Like Gold is out on PIAS Recordings.

Paloma Faith&#39;s very soulful Can&#39;t Rely On You (from her forthcoming third album A Perfect Combination) is subject to this exquisite and mysterious&nbsp;promo by Paul Gore.&nbsp;Bold and stylish &ndash;&nbsp;it&#39;s photographed beautfully by Mathieu Plainfosse &ndash; it places Paloma in five completely different, intriguing scenarios, with one common combining&nbsp;factor:&nbsp;Paloma&#39;s&nbsp;man woes.&nbsp;Shot over two days in five different locations, producer Denna Cartamkhoob explains: &quot;We worked closely with&nbsp;Paloma&nbsp;to create a world which we wanted to be - Fellini meets Holy Motors! We looked at Pasolini and Matthew Barney for inspiration.&quot;Paul&#39;s concept explored&nbsp;Paloma&nbsp;in relationships with five different men, not necessarily all romantic: The Surgeon, The Lover, The Stable Boy, The Chauffeur and The Leader. The idea was that all these men leave her which echoes the sentiment of the song. Eventually she leaves The Lover. We didn&#39;t want her to be totally down and out!&quot; &nbsp;

A marvellous video for Warp signing Jackson And His Computerband&#39;s Dead Living Things - featuring the distinctive vocal stylings of Planningtorock - by Alex Courtès, that really is good for repeated viewings.It has an impenetrably&nbsp;surreal, vignette-style that has become quite familiar&nbsp; - and Alex has commented on its debt to other notable filmmakers, saying on <a href="http://warp.net/records/jackson-and-his-computerband/new-video-dead-living-things" target="_blank">the Warp Records site</a> that &quot;this project is a direct reference to the works of Fellini and David Lynch. It is a juxtaposition of life scenes and actions that have nothing to do with each other in particular, that however create a fantastic dynamic and resolutely surreal experience.&rdquo;Absolutely. But it&#39;s worth adding that the film really has the true&nbsp;quality of a dream. These scenarios are conjured from imagination, like a random dreamer&#39;s thoughts, with&nbsp;a coherent narrative just tantalisingly out of reach.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Dizzee Rascal is back with a new anthem that&#39;s going to rival Bonkers for levels of audience participation at future live shows &ndash; and in Megaforce&#39;s video he adopts the perfect persona to perform Bassline Junkie.He&#39;s a charismatic, white-suited preacherman, delivering his singular, uncompromising message all over London, aided by goofy sidekick (a winning performance by <a href="http://www.ericlampaert.com/" target="_blank">Eric Lampaert</a>). And Dizzee does end up making some unlikely converts to the power of bass.... Lots of good fun, especially when Dizzee abuses the child at the council flat he&#39;s doorstepping, for turning off one of his tablet-like bass speakers &ndash; and also an effective satire of evangelical religion that&#39;s going to get up some people&#39;s noses...&quot;The way the hook is sung, especially with the back vocals, led us naturally to the preaching stuff,&quot; say Leo and Raphael of Megaforce, the two members of the four-man French directing team who helmed the Bassline Junkie video. &quot;We&#39;ve wanted to address the subject of religion for a while, and as the track is funny and light here, we approached it in a comedy way. It was an opportunity to focus on the comedy acting and to make Dizzee&#39;s performance part of the main idea and not something aside an unrelated story.&quot;
