Marie Madeleine "Highway" (Julien Zenier, dir.)

After the pop hits "Swimmin Pool" and "Sex and Tears", French disco-wave band Marie Madeleine comebacks with his lastest music video, "Highway". 

Somewhere between surrealism and onirism, the video, directed by Julien Zenier, tells the story of a woman haunting the singer's mind in a place where love, sexuality and automobile are inextricably melted. 

The Peach Kings "Mojo Thunder" (Kris Merc & Benjy Brooke, dir.)

A handmade take on Film Noir created with chalk, black cardboard, pencils and white crayons — all animated in Photoshop. Visually we're talking a mix of stripper girls, santeria, a hound from hell and drowning all those bad vibes in drink. 

PS: If drawing of a naked woman will get you in trouble you should consider this NSFW. And look for a new job.

Cazzette "SLEEPLESS" (Peter Huang, dir.)

Peter Huang, director: "I always said throughout filiming, 'I hope some bubbly 13-yeard old who really loves EDM ends up bursting into tears at the end of this video. Only then will I be satisfied. Somebody provide me with proof that this has happened."

Something is clearly amiss when we enter the posh home where a latenight hook-up is about to ensue. The camera lingers on that kitchen island knife block a touch too long. The woman can curiously work the on-wall custom whole-house music system without any direction. And, what's that noise?

It's more short film than music video, and it certainly doesn't have a happy ending, so bubbly EDM fans should definitely brace themselves...
