Herb Alpert "Chattanoogo Choo Choo" (Kurt Nishimura, dir.)

A stop-motion tale in which a pair of shoelace find their home —  a pair of sneakers, of course — and then onward to an adventure across the city and into abstract art. 

Of course theres a whole lotta backstory here: Herb Alpert is a legend, best know for his Tijuana Brass band and a certain album cover. The song is a cover of a nearly 75-years-old swing standard made famous by the Glenn Miller Orchestra.

FLAUNT f/ Justin Jennings "Dipped in Ecstasy (remix)" (Christopher Arcella, dir.)

A dancer (played by Daniel Ching) searches for inspiration after a mental block deflates his downrocking, leaving him flat on his back. A soccer player (played by Christopher Arcella) performs a hypnotic stream of rhythmic stepovers that the Dancer translates into his own language without the ball. The dialogue continues until the Dancer has developed a completely new style that reinvigorates his passion.

Kevin Abstract "Hell / Heroina" (Tyler MItchell, dir.)

Kevin Abstract debut's his second ever music video, which was funded entirely on Kickstarter and directed by Tyler Mitchell.

The video traverses in and out of computer screens, in line with Kevin's "digital" aesthetic. He performs the song live to a crowd only to find out the crowd consists of members of his hip hop collective, AliveSinceForever, who are there to capture him. The video takes are dark turn, nearly becoming a twisted vision when his capture and torture is recorded and put on Worldstar.com for the internet to see.
