Harry Law pays homage to classic performance videos in his promo for 5 Seconds Of Summer. Drawing inspiration from pop rock videos of the 90’s and early 00’s - from artists such as Oasis, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and The All-American Rejects - the video for Me, Myself & I takes place in a dimly lit warehouse, with a motion control camera seamlessly cutting around the different personalities of each band member. The video forms a part of the Australian pop outfit's new vision, which is being conceptualised with a number of other creatives across the board, including creative director Tyler Serebreni.“Me Myself & I has such an iconic energy to it, getting to capture that feeling visually while the band was on a global world tour was so incredible, it gave us so much to play with," says Serebreni. "We wanted to put a twist on a performance video, focusing on technology while keeping the aesthetic and inspiration of so many iconic early 2000s performance videos, but still grounded and in line with our album campaign."Harry [Law] helped us bring this vision to life perfectly, complex in its simplicity, highlighting the individuality and style of the guys."

After their blockbusting collaboration on Queen, Todrick Hall and Roy Raz knock it out of the park once again with his high concept celebration of the 80s ballroom scene for Pre-Madonna. Like the astounding Queen, this was shot in Kyiv in the period before the Russian invasion, which provides a suitable level of scale for this extravagant and flamboyant display of fashion runways, phenomenal styling and slick choreography.And at the core Todrick gives a wonderfully over the top, and tongue-in-cheek perfromance in a number of jaw-dropping outfits and scenes - not least wearing a ballgown created from metal and old TVs...Director Roy Raz says, "Pre-Madonna is a tribute to the 90's ballroom scene as Todrick says whimsically- 'the kids were voguing pre Madonna...' - we took everything we love about that period combined with 90's aesthetics...and this is the result. Shot in Kyiv - Our thoughts are always with Ukraine at this time."Dripping with excess at every corner, it's a true tour de force concept with an outrageously fun vibe throughout. What else would we expect from this dream team of creatives?

Peter Haueis celebrates the early days of rave culture in a way that resonates with current times in the nostalgic promo for DJ Durbin. We live in strange times, where clubbing has now been everything from a health risk to something completely criminal. DJ Durbin and director Peter Haueis considered the questions: How can a club track be situated in the midst of a pandemic?Haueis found his answers in the atmosphere of the abandoned and rainy Port of Hamburg, which he aestheticizes with Nineties rave tristesse to convey the rollercoaster of emotions that has accompanied clubbers in recent months.“I knew the video had to be raw and impulsive," Haueis noted. "I came across excerpts from Rainald Götz's book Rave from 1998. Some aspects reflected exactly the feelings that, for me, made up the track in the course of a club night. It's about losing oneself in a free world of the underground, deep in the bass. It's about that moment, when you think you can dissolve yourself into the pulses of the strobe.”DJ Durbin agrees. “I wanted to raise a playful club bomb that constantly twists and turns and yet somehow holds together.” The resulting visual is soaked in a '90s VHS aesthetic, and has an anachronistic vibe which bridges the gap between the present day and the origins of rave culture.

Kevin Hudson directs a playful promo inspired by 1994 classic The Mask, in his promo for V9's Change - executive produced by Luke Biggins, one of his last projects before he died. Taking inspiration from various scenes in Jim Carrey's breakthrough movie, Hudson lends a contemporary twist to the narrative, placing the artist in the centre of a heist concept in the same iconic outfit and cartoonish aesthetic. The video doesn't cross too far into parody, instead containing enough references for audiences of the original film to enjoy. Even as a standalone, its a very entertaining watch indeed.Hudson says that The Mask was one of his favourite movies when he was growing up. "I went back and watched the entire film before doing the treatment, just to make sure I did it justice," he says. "My plan was to recreate key scenes in the film, so anyone watching can see the correlation, whilst still giving us the performances expected within a music video. Huge thank you to Luke Biggins who helped bring this all together."

Nicolee Tsin directs a nostalgic, sparkling promo for Amun's Mesmerised. Imbued with an on-trend 90's aesthetic, the video takes viewers from the car park to the roller rink, as Amun takes centre-stage in a flurry of vibrant performance vignettes. DoP Miguel Carmenes' glossy cinematography encapsulates the carefree vibes of the time period, whilst the graphic text adds a sense of authenticity to the aesthetic."The video is a homage to '90s sitcom shows, further taking inspiration from film scenes from ATL," explains Tsin. "We wanted to make the visual as if it was a themed opening to Amun’s very own TV show but with a twist from Spring Breakers and Enter The Void."A vignette of life, culture, and community of the skating rink come together, topped with cute, customized rolling titles and bloopers."

Josh McCartney directs Magic Medicine, a slice of retro-pharmaceutical brilliance from the powerhouse LA duo that is Deap Valley.The hard rock duo knock it out of the park once again with their signature crunch and stomp, whilst Josh McCartney delivers a beautifully twisted take on the dangers of believing in a cure-all.Shot in a nostalgic, TV cable aesthetic, the video is focused on a number of faux medical adverts, featuring a flurry of stock footage overlaid with funky text and hilarious throwbacks to 90's public access television.

The infamous Sunny D scandal from the 90's get a bonkers visual treatment, in Will Clark's promo for Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard's You. Taking us on an obscure, orange juice-fuelled fever dream, we follow vocalist Tom as he downs a tonne of the drink, getting more and more orange until... well he turns into one. Just like internet meme icon The Annoying Orange, his entire body is replaced by the fruit, with only eyes and a mouth to keep singing along. Interspersed with shots of a news crew interviewing the singer, and shots of the band hula-hooping the night away, it's a brilliant visual for a brilliant track.

Fred Gervais directs a thrilling promo for PL & Wheelie's debut single, Barbe à Papa.The brainchild of actor/rapper Pierre-Luc Lafontaine and producer Wheelie, the duo intermix 90's hip-hop with elements of comedy, surrealism and industrial alternative rock. The frantic mix of genres is reflected in the hypnotic video, which flashes through a series of conceptual vignettes, sometimes relating to the lyrics and sometimes just representing a cool visual idea. The aesthetic pays homage to nostalgic Noughties videos - whilst simultaneously taking cues from the excess of contemporary Korean pop promos - and is totally and utterly absorbing from first frame to last.
