Russ Chimes had decided to outdo himself of late and accompany his upcoming Midnight Club EP with a video trilogy for the ages. It is the Godfather I, II, and III of our times (or, the Naked Gun series, take your pick). However we fully and thankfully expect that Sophia Coppola will not be acting Part III, thus ensuring vimeo immortality for this fantastically-produced set.

Parts I and II (which was just released yesterday) follow the tribulations of a pair of young lovers who like to party at da club, and who unfortunately also become entangled in a jealousy-fueled kidnap adventure. The whole bittersweet tale is told using a staccato timeline — interweaving past, present, and future, into one synth-dicso and crotch rocket-fueled tapestry. Think Memento-era Christoper Nolan, with better music. Speaking of: the tracks themselves, Never Look Back, and Tertre Rouge, couldn’t possibly be better suited to the imagery.

Clues to how this story ends are slipped in left and right, however only in Part III will it all conclude. Like a fabled Russ Chimes build up, we will have to wait with bated breath for the drop to finally reveal all.

Finally, keeping in mind that we are a music blog, we including a snazzy, glitchy edit by Cryptex (a young bro in LA) of the track included in the trailer, Following Your Every Move.

Those residing at the address of ‘Under a Rock’ are likely the only ones not to have taken fond notice of two stellar vids dropping into the interwebsphere of late. The first was for Grum‘s new single, Through the Night. It’s an 80s-styled buddy cop bromance-a-thon. Cars are washed, asses are patted, hugs are had. And in the end, fittingly, pecs are flexed. We’re currently oiling ourselves as we watch.

The second hit the light just this week and is a trailer advancing Russ Chimes‘ forthcoming Midnight Club EP. Fast cars, clubs, lights, dance, conflict, kidnap, mayhem, blood, and, of course, build-up to one helluva trademark drop are all tantalizingly hinted at during the 1.10 minute teaser extraordinaire. Our balls are colored an intense shade blue for the full release.

We’re accompanying both of the above with a pair of tracks the two recently released into the soundclouds. Soooo… Give both the vids and tracks some massive views and love — as if you needed any encouragement.

Kunkers are mad happy for the boys as they continue in their quests for synth/orgasmia-fueled world domination. Pics of Kunk party with Grum as guest here. Kunk parties with Russ Chimes guest djing, here, and here.

Readers of this blog will of course be aware of the Nightwaves/Binary crew. We’ve just fallen a little bit in love with their recent song and accompanying video, Sweet Carrie. Follow the young ladies as they traverse the sun-drenched industrial and suburban inevitabilities of southern california — locomoted by their automobile (naturlich) — and inspired by the plaintive call of the song. Audio and video are both wonderfully executed. We’re feeling both of the remixes as well. Alfa‘s is a pretty much straight-up attractive electro-fied version of the original, while Beaumont‘s takes the reverb-loop route and does so elegantly.

For those in the Socal area of the universe, you’ll be able to catch the Binary crew at a friggin’ sweet party in LA with Kunk faves Moulinex, Xinobi [kunk interview], Futurecop!, and Keenhouse at the end of April [facebook event].

Our faves from London town, the Blamma! Blamma! boys just sent us a newly-made vid for Carry Me Home. We generally don’t post vids on Kunk because… well, i’m not even sure why not… but far be it from us to be able to resist small dj dogs licking up massive lines of coke before hitting the decks. The guys assured us that no animals were hurt, drugged or deafened in the creation of the flick. Good, because we’d hate for that poor pooch to have to learn sign language from a hot Ibizan deaf teacher a la It’s All Gone Pete Tong.

James Cook directed it, hit him up via the emails if you like. Some copies of Blamma! Blamma!’s limited edition vinyl-only EP “the.p” are still available. Order on Dovecote.
