SANTOGOLD: L.E.S. Artistes

More brilliance from Brooklyn, this time in the form of fusion hipster magnet Santi White, aka Santogold. Working the cool kids circuit with everyone from Switch, M.I.A. and Diplo, and recently anointed as one of Rolling Stone's 10 artists to watch, this girl has got all the right moves. Her debut video is directed by Nima Nourizadeh, last seen here attaching multiple arms on co-hort M.I.A. Watch the music video (qt).

CHROMEO: Bonafide Lovin'

Good times party duo Chromeo continue to bring back eighties inspired electrofunk with a third single from their sophamore release, Fancy Footwork. I was fortunate enough to catch the twosome as they brought the house down recently at the Bowery Ballroom. It absolutely blows my mind the Dave1 (aka David Macklovitch) is currently a Ph.D. candidate at Columbia university. Bonafide brilliant. This video is a riff off the iconic Money For Nothing Dire Straits video, reinterpreted by director Nima Nourizadeh. Watch the music video (qt).

HOT CHIP: Ready For The Floor

From the forthcoming third long player entitled Made In The Dark (February, folks), Hot Chip are at it again. More blippy pop electro rock with more hypercolour eye popping videos that look like they were wardrobed in the dark. The androgynous sounding lead vocalist with the equally androgynous name, Alexis Taylor, takes on the identity of The Joker, perhaps deliberately orchestrated to cash in on the eminent release of the comic book fanboy cinemagasm, The Dark Knight. Either way, the tune is pleasing enough, with all the signature Hot Chip-isms that will keep hipster brats bittorrenting 'till the RIAA comes a knockin'. Directed by Partizan's Nima Nourizadeh, although probably art directed by a criminal mastermind genius. Watch the music video (qt).

MARK RONSON: Oh My God

Believe it or not, Who Framed Roger Rabbit is now almost 20 years old. Holy Bejebus that means I'm getting old. And as all self respecting cartoon-slash-live-action pop film deserve, Mark Ronson's latest single pays tribute is music video form. Enlisting the directorial skills of Nima Nourizadeh and the vocal skills of potty mouth pop princess Lily Allen, Mark funkafies the Kaiser Chiefs punk anthem. Ironically, Lily plays the cartoon temptress while the Kaisers make the cameo. Watch the music video (qt).

HOT CHIP: Over And Over

MK of Not Your Usual Bollocks tips me on this great new clip from the UK electro pop rawk pranksters, Hot Chip. The South East London band play a hybrid mutation of hip hop funked electro mashed soul rock steeped in an intoxicating marinade of humour. This clip takes the concept of the band and brings it to the screen. Watch the video (qt).
