"It's Okay, I Promise (feat. Clairmont The Second)" by Harrison (Official Music Video)

Toronto-based electronic collective Holy Fuck premiere their newest video for "Tom Tom"

"Brian and I decided to shoot the video in Romania so we could cast authentic people in a unfamiliar setting. I wanted to shoot most of the scenes when the sky was just about to fade and use as much natural light as possible.  This helped with the surreal style I was trying to create.  Though...we did end up using a few lights and a homemade dolly we built in Romania with wheels I ordered from the US.

I was lucky to have my Romanian friend Miruna Soiu who helped produce/translate and her husband Ian Mcgettigan who's one of my best friends who helped with all things including being the dolly grip and doing most of the driving.  Myself, the two of them and my girlfriend Erika Lobko who's a local set designer from Toronto flew over. There we found our two main characters and now friends Marius Staicu senior and his son Marius.   They were perfect in every way.  Everything I had hoped for and way more really.  Casting was really fun as we just walked around Zarnesti and asked people if they'd like to be in a music video.  We shot most of the video in Sirnia a small village near Brasov where both Ian and Miruna had once stayed.  It was through their contacts that we were able to do this video.  Without them and Erika who ended up operating on many shots the video would have never been made. Miruna's wonderful Aunt Iona cooked us traditional Romanian meals every day and woke up really early every morning and lit the heaters to make sure we were warm and cozy. 

I'm also very lucky to have Daniel Bochenski edit from School Editing and Clinton Homuth color from Alter Ego.  They both did amazing work and I appreciate the support!”

Ronley Teper's Lipliners - Lucky and Finnegan

Animated Short Film by Davide Di Saro, in collaboration with composer Ronley Teper and The Lipliners.

Based on a live recorded song, written and composed by Ronley Teper, Lucky and Finnegan is a surreal short animated film by director and animator Davide Di Saro. The short narrates an adventure of mystical creatures racing toward a new world of self-discovery within a shamanic experience. A colourful vision of a surreal voyage through enchanted forests, gloomy hunted houses, monstrous magical towers, giant walking volcanoes and vertiginous space-time warps.

SonReal - Can I Get A Witness (Official)

https://tanyatagaq.lnk.to/Retribution

Lyrics:
Our Mother grows angry. 
Retribution will be swift. 
We squander her soil and suck out her sweet black blood to burn it. 
We turned Money into god and salivate over opportunities to crumple and crinkle our souls for that paper that gold. 
Money has spent us. 
Left us in small boxes dark rooms bright screens empty tombs. 
Left Investing our time in hollow philosophies to placate the fear of our bodies returning back to the earth. 
Demand awakening. 
The path we have taken has rotted. 
Ignite. 
Stand upright and conduct yourself like lightning because 
The retribution will be swift.
