“Bloody” is the most fitting adjective when it comes to describing the latest video of london based artist Kuro BC, which excels in its expressive use of a minimum of elements: contrasting motion and immobility as well as two colours. The track lands on a sweet spot among James Blake’s more experimental works and the elegance of ANOHNI’s.

 
Word is Diana De Brito – a.k.a. IAMDDB – spent a little while in Dubai to record her latest video. The lyrics are an iteration of the classic hip-hop formula: Be real bad, earn wads of dough and never betray your homies. The only visual wink to the lifestyle is the insignia of the Rolls Royce that the singer unpretentiously drives through the less eye-catching districts of the metropolis, emphazising the divide between what is said and sung with the odalisque body uttering the words.

As always, Arca has managed to cover those parts of life that seldom appear in media, with “Fetiche” representing his latest achievement in this direction: If you wanna know how the destruction of subordinate feminity and a nice little psychotic break would look, look no further. The track conjugates a diversity of musical textures lacking any intention of “acting nice” which are fit for an intoxicated queer disco: abrassive distortions, vocal samples out of a psychological thirller and an otherworldly percussion take turns before vanishing in fuchsia.

 
 
The Irish duo BICEP continues to promote their acclaimed, homonymous debut by dropping the video for their latest single “Rain”, with a collaboration by Luke Wyatt – a.k.a. Torn Hawk from Brooklyn – who’s composed a tiny masterpiece with a glitchy hypnagogic pop aesthetic: a collage of disparate ‘90s films and series on Betamax resolution, with odd allusions to oriental spirituality, snakes and vomit ¡Yum!

 
 
Sounds out of some place in ancient Egypt and reaggetón come together in this track by remix artist WU, who took the chillaxing main theme from Asmara’s “Let Ting Go” EP with the Wisin & Yandel track “Booty”.

The emo days are still a bit far from oblivion, and Princess Nokia, who is a big fan, has taken it upon herself to bring it back in her new “emo mixtape” dubbed A Girl Cried Red, as she dropped the video for its first single “Your Eyes Are Bleeding”… the result is a modern rap beat coupled to lyrics filled with vibes from The Get Up Kids and Armor For Sleep, from that “pase” we’ve all phased out from the late 2000’s. We’ll see Nokia walking around in quiet suburban spaced and listening to tunes on the passenger seat as her mind flies through the boldly contrasting memories of her life on the stage.
