Asa 808 ‘Love Trumps Fear’ is part of a double headed single whose flip side ‘Woke’ is already seeing mileage from Avalon Emerson, Breach, Frits Wentink, George FitzGerald and Whitesquare – that acts as a pre-cursor for a forthcoming mini-LP. Already the entrée bodes well for the main course.

Music Video: Nathan Micay – First Casualty
We are proud to present the music video premiere for Nathan Micay’s ‘First Casualty’ on Whities. Directed by Masha Batsea & Alex McCullough, the video winds its way along an anonymous tree-lined road, overlaying the neutral landscape with incongruous shapes and colours.
Music Video: Tourist Kid – Bacterial
Directed by Will Galperin & Evan Stalker, the music video for ‘Bacterial’ features simulated macro-shots of cellular mitosis, a natural process that somehow renders organic and ordered forms out of disorienting complexity and chaos.
Music Video: Bary Center – Shell
American producer Bary Center shares his self-directed music video exclusively on IA – evoking the weird cult rituals of Eyes Wide Shut, kodachrome sorcery of Hausu and demoniac ambience of The Ninth Gate. Interlarded with cutaway shots of Bary himself, the dancers’ convulsive moves fit the rhythm and sound like a glove, mesmerising as can be.
Music Video: Benedikt Frey – Looking Back
German producer Benedikt Frey lands back on Live At Robert Johnson this month with his first 12″ for the imprint. To mark the occasion we are premiering the animated minimalist music video for the record’s opening track “Looking Back”.
Music Video: HMOT x MASSA – Permanent Imbalance
We’re glad to bring you the exclusive stream of HMOT and MASSA’s eponymous visual piece – a dizzying 3D tableau blending disfigured virtual flesh and convulsive glitches, drawing out the Russian producer’s fractured, ectopic rhythms into an immersive realm of fear and trepidation where bodies collide, reel and disintegrate.

Music Video: Chino – 404
Illustrating the track’s pulsating rhythms with a convulsive black and white composition of rotating geometric shapes, abstract figures and IT glitches, Dybala’s piece makes for a much compelling, hypnotic visual collage that fits Chino’s music like a glove. Warning: this video can potentially trigger seizures for people with photosensitive epilepsy.
Music Video: Weird Weather – Bamboo Room
With the release’o’meter stuck to one in 2017, Chuggy Leath’s [Emotional] Especial imprint finally reemerges to our greatest delight this year with the debut outing of emerging London-based duo Weird Weather. Watch the video for ‘Bamboo Room’ directed by Letty Fox, exclusively on IA.
Music Video: Sergie Rezza – Envole
Sergie Rezza’s ‘Envolve’ is an absorbingly beautiful piece of visual abstraction that can best be described as a view through a microscope after a hefty dose of psilocybin – the perfect accompaniment to a track that leans towards the psychotropic, careening through blissful pads, heavenly atmospherics and nuanced rhythms on a 10-minute musical trip that ends all too soon.
Music Video: Walrus Ghost & Max Frankl – Downing Still Life
We’re glad to premiere the music video for a beautiful cut from Walrus Ghost & Max Frankl album “Downing Still Life” – shot and directed by Brendan Gilliam all in Super 8, this one’s a BoC-reminiscent trip into memory’s deepest emotional recesses, a gently contemplative piece soaked in the warm orange glow of nostalgia.
Music Video: Mr. Eff – Midnight Predator
Still working wonders when associated with ’80s tribute films and series such as the acclaimed TV-show ‘Stranger Things’ – as underlined by Michael Stein and Kyle Dixon’s award-winning OST, this multi-hued mix of cosmic keyboard music and sci-fi indebted imagery is at the heart of Charlie Gerszewski’s short film for Mr. Eff’s ‘Midnight Predator’, which we’re glad to present today.
Music Video: Bézier – Entr’acte
Tying the music of Bézier with images of a figureless desert where organic shapes and saturated colours weave a fascinating canvas of quietude and eternity, Charles Ludeke delivers his compelling vision of ‘Entr’acte’, lifted from the San Francisco-based producer’s debut album on Dark Entries.
Music Video: тпсб – Paris CDG
Hot on the heels of his excellent debut album ‘Sekundenschlaf’, freshly out via Blackest Ever Black, Russian-born, Münster-based producer тпсб steps up on Noorden with ‘Paris CDG’, a curious two-track hybrid tape of airport-recorded field takes and stripped-back electronics.
Music Video: Oscar Mulero – The Arms Of Fate
Spanish photographer and filmmaker Patricia Barroeta provides a stark and striking piece rendered in the form of a triptych, it’s a perfect match for the dark and gloomy textures of Oscar Mulero’s crepuscular sonics, both of them chilling to the bone.
