Luis Rojo - of film collective BRBR - directs an ambitious promo for DJ Snake featuring J Balvin, shot on the streets of New York. The video for Noventa blends cinematic performance setups with docu-style portraits and footage from the Brooklyn neighbourhood, placing real fans and residents in the heart of the action. Breathlessly paced with some fun edit trickery, its an immersive and hugely effective visual accompaniment to the track. And the video was made under challenging circumstances, especially when it came to permits."The team was determined to film in the heart of a Hispanic neighborhood, with real people, to truly capture the strength and energy of this vibrant community," reveal Birth, Rojo's production company. "The shoot didn’t go unnoticed, helicopters flew overhead, and police units showed up, clearly on edge. But in the face of a joyful, united crowd that only wanted one thing, to sing along with the two artists, there was nothing the authorities could do. The community’s spirit was simply unstoppable."

Rianne White directs a stylised black and white performance promo to herald the return of Scottish rockers Franz Ferdinand. Shot in 16mm, the video for Night Or Day was shot in AYR Studios - the same space the band recorded the track. The shooting environment creates a tangible link between audio and visual, and White's creativity in transforming the space is truly inspired. Exuding a film noir aesthetic, the high-contast black and white imagery treads the line between surrealism and reality, and the band thrive in their performance here. "This song emulates the turbulent, transcendent immensity of feelings that live and breathe within four walls," says Rianne White. "Born with Franz Ferdinand in their Scottish studio, where they recorded this beauty was a powerful meeting of visual and sound, all caught in the eye of 16mm black and white film. These are the storms we dance in!"Franz Ferdinand frontman Alex Kapranos adds: "We collaborated with the hugely talented Rianne White to capture the Drama-Noir of the environment where we recorded this and the rest of the LP. She has a sensitivity and energy which exploded into that space, giving a glimpse of the world where we made the music."Storm shake the room and boom… the dark heart of Scotland beats strong."
