<p><strong>Each week, Moritz Gayard rounds up the best new music videos so you don’t have to. </strong></p><p>Bit late with this new Videodrome here, due to this <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/17/arts/music/south-by-southwest-festival-starts-to-feel-corporate.html?_r=0" target="_blank">SXSW</a> thingy over is the north of America, the video output was kinda limited. My search took a while, but now I’ve compiled another kick-ass list of new, cool videos featuring my least wanted band Placebo again, due to a spectacular sequel of this video. Also inside: my girl Dominique Young Unique is back on the case, major release ahead and first new video out. Then Delroy Edwards, who surprisingly dropped <a href="http://poiskm.com/song/27115665-Delroy-Edwards-Ghetto-Vibes-Vol-1" target="_blank">one of the best dub mixes in the last ten years</a> is back on bass and released a fitting video to his monster called “LACR003”. Not to forget: another potential video of the year from the hands <a href="http://www.danieldaniel.us" target="_blank">of the inspiring Daniels directing-duo</a> for DJ Snake & Lil Jon. Anyway, start the fun below:</p><p><strong>#1 DJ Snake & Lil Jon – “Turn Down for What”</strong>, directed by The Daniels</p><p><!--

--></p><p>Is this the most entertaining music video that’s been released this year so far? Looks like, because the video is like nothing you have ever seen before.</p><p><strong>#2 Placebo feat. Bret Easton Ellis – “Loud Like Love”</strong>, directed by Saman Kesh</p><p><!--
.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; padding-top: 30px; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; height: auto; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }
--></p><p>Well, this was wonderful. I absolutely love these “unfortunate details” videos and I hope this one isn’t the last.</p><p><strong>#3 Gold Zebra – “Apart Again”</strong>, directed by La Barbe Rousse</p><p><!--
.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; padding-top: 30px; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; height: auto; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }
--></p><p>Montréal electro-pop duo Gold Zebra gonna release their self-titled debut album on April 22nd via Visage Musique. As an appetizer they dropped the La Barbe Rousse-directed video for their smooth, new single.</p><p><strong>#4 Dominique Young Unique – “Throw It Down”</strong>, directed by Philip Andelman</p><p><!--
.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; padding-top: 30px; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; height: auto; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }
--></p><p>J’adore Dominique Young Unique for like two years since “Hype Girl”. Now she’s signed to a major label, her debut single “Throw It Down” will be out on 20th April. Go, DYC.</p><p><strong>#5 DJ PUNISHER – “LACR003”</strong></p><p><!--
.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; padding-top: 30px; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; height: auto; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }
--></p><p>This dope is made by Delroy Edwards under his Punisher alias, “not for the faint of heart.” Yes, yes.</p><p><strong>#6 Mr. Mitch – “The Lion, The Bitch and The Bordeaux”</strong></p><p><!--
.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; padding-top: 30px; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; height: auto; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }
--></p><p>Listen to some magical post-grime courtesy of Mr. Mitch. If you’re into scooters, you’ll also love the video. Epic track!</p><p><strong>#7 Kyan – “Rosetta”</strong></p><p><!--
.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; padding-top: 30px; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; height: auto; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }
--></p><p>Rising Cambridge-born Kyan has dropped the video for the lead track from his debut EP, flavored with some cool technical edits.</p><p><strong>#8 Arca & Jesse Kanda – “TRAUMA Scene 1”</strong>, directed by Jesse Kanda & Arca</p><p><!--
.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; padding-top: 30px; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; height: auto; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }
--></p><p>Aw shit. According to the PS1, “Trauma is an ongoing film project by Jesse Kanda and Arca first exhibited at MOMA PS1 at the end of 2013. The film follows a nonlinear narrative about the death of a salaryman, a drunk driving infant and takes place within a subconscious world. TRAUMA’s score will span through Arca’s existing and future works.”</p><p><em>For more editions of Videodrome, click <a href="http://www.electronicbeats.net/category/features/columns/videodrome/" target="_blank">here</a>.</em></p>
