Folu Odimayo directs a thought-provoking promo for singer/producer Harvey Causon.The video for Psycho centres on a stirring concept, pitting strangers against each other in a competitive dance audition that soon descends into something more surreal and unusual.The desaturated colour palette and threadbare location create a dystopian, otherworldly atmosphere, whilst also feeling universal and accessible in its message. Paired with the uncanny, sometimes aggressive choreography, it's a well executed vision which leaves plenty of room for interpretation. "(The video) explores the idea of competition and rivalry that is created within areas of the creative but also parts of wider society;" says Folu Odimayo. "Looking at this system can dehumanise people and create a dog show, in which we are found jumping through various hoops and made to portion off parts of ourselves and relations in the pursuit of our goals. But also how collectivising and connection can be a route around this system."

Two factory workers break free of an oppressive routine, in Martin Wolfgang Klapperbein's enigmatic promo for Canadian rock band Finger Eleven.The video for Together Right unfolds through a militarized dance routine, as the band perform in the same abandoned location. Boasting a cinematic aesthetic and unsettling dystopian themes, the video ends with a mosh pit of rebellion reflecting, the workers' frustration with the environment they are trapped in.Brilliant work which perfectly encapsulates the feeling of the track.

Ben Brook reunites with No Rome following the video for Brother with another ambitious visual for Elevator Music (OMG) where, appropriately, the camera keeps going upwards.Brook's video is underpinned by a perpetually rising shot which takes us through derelict floors, each subtly tying into Rome’s self-reflection and linking back to themes established in previous video. Then it breaks out into a to-camera performance enhanced with collage-like FX work for the final 'OMG' section.Blended with analogue textures, uncanny NeRF setups and graphic AI experimentation, the video leans into a dystopian, near-future aesthetic, which perfectly suits the concept. "It was inspired by the old Film4 ident which repeated scenes across a similar movement," Brook explains. "It’s always great watching everything come together on the day. It was quite a small space to work within."[Production designers] Set Sisters had such a task re-dressing for all the scenes, and Sonny tweaking and re-lighting to vary across new takes meant there was a lot of moving parts. But we managed to get just enough coverage after dropping a couple more ambitious/time-consuming takes, and we definitely achieved the desired look."

Alessandro Amaducci directs a glitchy, hyperactive promo for French producer-duo Som.1.This concept is executed in a frantic amalgam of character performance and distorted textures, building to a riveting climax of pulsating strobes and split-screen edits - before a final scene with a sand timer running down. "There is no more time," Amaducci explains of the idea behnd the visual. "The countdown goes faster and faster. In a world inhabited by animals and few surviving humans, a final celebration of dance is staged. A post-apocalyptic fashion show. We must run. Dance. Until the end."A thought-provoking concept with a lo-fi, dystopian aesthetic that is haunting and alluring in equal measure.
