Partiboi69 becomes humanity's last hope for survival in PETR's highly entertaining video for the Australian electronic music producer and DJ and self-styled 'prophet of pleasure'. Taking the trademark high-octane, off the wall style of previous outings (like Double Drop) into new dystopian yet cinematic territory, the video for Redline is set in a near future where human reproduction has become a point of crisis. Partiboi69 is identified as the last fertile man on Earth - and that's the trigger for him to be subjected to a series of increasingly surreal indignities whilset incarcerated in a prison-like lab.To the pulsating beat of the banging techno of Redline, Partiboi69’s DNA is commodified; guards become increasingly obsessed; a wax figure in his likeness meets a crazed flamethrower; a group of anonymous children raise questions about their origin. He enters a datamoshing dreamscape, and meets a horse. But can he ever escape from his nightmarish ordeal?Filmed in Prague at a location with a layered history - a chateau once occupied by a senior Nazi figure during the Second World War which later became a communist metal factory - the real-world environment associated with cycles of control and industrial use forms the backdrop to this unhinged story (written by Partiboi69) centred on extraction and bodily autonomy. PETR's video - produced through Stink Films - is also a triumph of resourceful invention, with the world-building of the production realised through hands-on solutions. That included the wax head made by the director’s mother, or the extraction machine - strapped to Partiboi's genital area - handcrafted by local art directors out of recycled materials. “We did everything for real - the horse, the stunts, the torch," says PETR - whose credits include the UKMVA winning video for Son Lux's Flickers. "Partiboi69 and his daring energy pushed us all for the best and turned out to be the most fun I've had on set yet.”

Erik He creates a very cool futuristic vision for the catchy collaboration between Irish dance artist Jazzy and London-based DJ and producer East End Dubs.In the visual artist's first project since signing to Partizan, He has taken a counter-intuitive approach to the uptempo On A Wave. His work blends sculpture, performance and moving image into striking contemporary compositions, and this sensibility runs through the film’s clean, stylised design.The pair are performing in what appears to be a gallery space - it was shot in Wayne McGregor’s Hackney studio - captured in stylish compositions. The video leans into a cool, silver-toned palette and a minimalist set design to create a refined, electronic visual world that mirrors the track’s driving pulse. This sets the scene, then He gradually introduces subtle elements of VFX as the track's momentum builds.Jazzy, the Dublin-born singer-songwriter behind dance hits including Giving Me and collaborations with Belters Only and Sonny Fodera, joins forces here with East End Dubs, a leading figure in the UK’s minimal tech-house scene who emerged from East London’s underground in the early 2010s. The result is a real statement for both the musicians and Erik He; a stripped-back but striking visual world that lets the track’s hypnotic energy do the talking.

Jessie Ware channels her inner horsewoman - with leading actor James Norton as her willing steed - in Thomas James' steamy and atmospheric video for Ride.Featuring an interpolation of the main theme from classic spaghetti western The Good, The Bad & The Ugly, the song certainly lends itself to having a cowboy-based video. But under James's direction, this takes an untypical turn, and certainly puts Jessie in control: Norton rides into Jessie's life, on white horse Caravan, but she asserts a majestic presence, and he becomes her submissive plaything.With a moody cinematic monochrome palette shot by Natasha Duursma, this sees Jessie the disco diva making a leftfield move into an aesthetic that Thomas James has perfected working for hellraising rock-based acts and iconoclastic rappers like Kneecap. And it pays off, in adding another dimension to her mystique. "The video is fully about Jessie and James - and their pretty stellar performances," says Thomas James. "Twisting perhaps, expectations of the handsome alpha cowboy."They approached the project really wanting to push perceptions. We had a lot of rehearsal, and the guys were very keen to improvise..."It was quite a liberating shoot, just rolling with the spontaneity. I think their on-screen chemistry, and there trust in each other, is what makes it what it is."

Marcus Kartal directs a lab experiment pushed beyond human limitations in this visceral visual for techno producer Luwi Won.Contained and intense, the video for Workout Passout focusses upon a young guy on an tough gym routine, hooked up to machines measuring his physical condition under extreme stress.With excellent cinematography by Simon Plunket and crunchy grade by Daniela Rotaru, it's gritty and it's sweaty - and it works very well with the relentless power of the track.
