So warns the track description beneath Maceo Plex's new video promo. So basically everything short of dog-on-dog hardcore then?The liberal-baiting vid for "Conjure Superstar" depicts a nightmarish terror ride through an unnamed British city, viewed from the perspective of a nicked phone as it changes hands between a series of dicks, dolly birds and n'er do wells, with the finished product resembling a found footage update of The Prodigy's notorious "Smack My Bitch Up" video, complete with its own shock ending.The video takes aim at the online generation, in a age where everyone's a superstar in their own twitter feed. Says the producer "Everyone's a Conjured up Superstar. Is it really about the music anymore?"It's a clever, innovatively shot video, a throwback to the 90s when Jonathan Glazer was at his peak and every Bjork video was a mini-masterpiece.'Conjure Superstar' is out now on Kompakt.
