Directing duo BLACKWALL direct&nbsp;a stirring promo for Jeshi, featuring&nbsp;Fredwave, Louis Culture and J. Caesar.The video for Disconnect features a perpetually rotating camera, capturing the artist in a range of different locations, each with their own haunting, otherworldly qualities.&nbsp;It's a truly absorbing visual, hypnotic in its constant movement, and bubbling with an energy that threatens to explode at any moment.&nbsp;"The Disconnect! video shows our spiralling addiction to technology," the duo explain. "The constant 360 rotation emphasises this downward spiral as we become more dependant on our devices."The video also touches on disorders like derealisation where you feel the world is unreal, which are becoming more common as we become more focussed on the digital world."[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]

James Blake has a Hellish day trying to make content for a jaded social media audience in the&nbsp;mesmerising promo for Thrown Around, directed by The Reids.&nbsp;Opening with a snappy conversation with a social media guru, who tells the artist he needs to up his content game to stay relevant, we see Blake venture out onto the street to record a half-hearted TikTok video - until his phone gets nicked by a bike-riding assailant.&nbsp;From there, things go from bad to worse, and we get to experience this from a hypnotic Snorricam-style rig built by DoP&nbsp;Fraser Mitchell.&nbsp;Elevated by trippy effects and a heavy dose of surrealism, it's a standout visual that also showcases Blake's acting chops, and a surprising facility for comedy. Someone get this man in touch with Netflix right away.And remarkably, the whole project was turned around in less than a week, as Will and Ed Reid explain.&nbsp;&nbsp;"Thrown Around was by far the maddest project we’ve shot to date - from idea sign off to wrap in 6 days, this one was a beast to wrangle and so much fun," say the brother directing team, who have just signed to Anonymous Content.&nbsp;"We will be proud of this one for a while."It wouldn’t have been possible to do it without James himself being so up for it. He gave us incredible amounts of time, energy and humour - you really see that on camera."Also, utilising a new camera rig - the 3rd Person Snorri - as a narrative device was a really special experience - it feels so hard to shoot something in a way that feels different and fresh these days and we pushed hard to do that here which is perhaps what we’re most proud of." &nbsp;
