Nabbed off of The Wire, this music video for Demdike Stare‘s unreleased “Violetta” was crafted by Jonny Redman, a man who runs a website dedicated to European cult films called LoveLockAndLoad. Quite frankly, we couldn’t think of a better suited cinephile to splice together footage to pair with the crate-digging duo’s intriguingly esoteric music, as Redman’s piece ever so perfectly proves. We’re not normally into found-footage music videos, but the sinister and erratic VHS images somehow seem to be the only appropriate look for Demdike Stare’s music—the director’s curatorial expertise certainly doesn’t hurt either. And how about the clattering, ominous track that writhes underneath it all? It reminds us of how awesome the podcast Demdike Stare just dropped on XLR8R is, and how we hope there’s more new music on the way from the Manchester pair soon.

Brooklyn’s Creep, the dark-pop duo of Lauren Flax and Lauren Dillard, just unveiled its latest tune, an R&B-infused slow jam featuring soulful vocals from identical twin sisters Nina Sky. The unlikely musical pairing works surprisingly well on “You,” and is bolstered here by a slick and simple music video courtesy of director Thalia Mavros. The black-and-white piece is something of a mix between Calvin Klein fragrance commercials and The Shining—complete with sultry close-ups and twins standing in hallways. With this new collaborative track now under Creep’s belt—not to mention its first single, “Days” with Romy Madley-Croft of The xx on vocals—one can only wonder what other gothy beats and high-profile singers will be included on the duo’s impending full-length.

Not long after he announced the impending release of his debut full-length with the infectiously brilliant “Wildfire” single, hotly tipped UK DJ/producer SBTRKT appeared with his trusty vocal collaborator Sampha for a live performance on the brand-new Abbey Road Debuts program. Watch as the masked tunesmith shows off some solid drum chops while his singing companion belts out the soulful refrains of a never-before-heard SBTRKT album cut, “Trials of the Past”—both fiddling with the mass of gear that surrounds them as they reach the end of the song. We’ll just go ahead and add this to the pile of reasons why we can’t wait for SBTRKT’s LP to drop on June 28 via Young Turks.

It should come as no surprise that the always soulful, genre-hopping producer Tom Trago has a soft spot in his heart for the King of Pop. And what better way to express this affection than to feature a Michael Jackson impersonator moving and grooving to the sleek “Steppin’ Out” track, following the wannabe MJ as he takes us around what we are assuming is Trago’s hometown, Amsterdam. Iris, Trago’s recently released LP for the Rush Hour imprint, is where you’ll find this cut along with a host of other disco-infused tunes from the veteran producer and recent XLR8Rpodcast contributor.
