Welcome to FACT’s weekly video round-up.
As we note at the end of every year, music videos have never been better. But too often, music videos — along with documentaries, live sets and interview clips — get lost in the shuffle of news and new music.
With that in mind, FACT is doing what it does for mixes, mixtapes, vinyl and more: rounding up the internet’s best videos on a weekly basis. And to remove our bias, we won’t be including our own content — you’ll have to stay tuned to FACT TV for all your Against The Clock, FACT Freestyles and Confessions needs.
Panteros666 feat. Woodkid
‘Clear’
Dir: Panteros666 & Ines Marzat
A hyperreal epic from Bromance. Liquid metal and marble humanoids (reminiscent of the Engineers of Prometheus) fall in love as the blue-haired Panteros666 explores the temples of a frozen desert in his latest ode to Net Art.

DJ Koze
‘I Haven’t Been Everywhere But It’s on My List’
Dir: Katharina Duve and Timo Schierhorn
DJ Koze soundtracks a technicolor adventure, featuring dancing skeleton, a T. rex and mysterious caves. “On our way to shoot some ancient hippie caves somewhere in the Atlantic ocean, we incidentally met a lovely bloke cruising the beaches on his Omamobil,” says Koze. “He showed us the ways of his island and the key to happiness. And then he sold us a lottery ticket.”

Haleek Maul
‘Money God’
Dir: ESNAF
New York rap prodigy Haleek Maul unveils another glimpse of his forthcoming Prince Midas project with this gorgeously shot clip, keeping things ominous whether he’s wiling out in red-lit rooms, creepy hallways or even the beach. Stay tuned to the end for a bit of Saul Williams, too.

Brenmar feat. UNiiQU3
‘Hula Hoop’
Dir: Lil Internet
We’ve had Brenmar and UNiiQU3’s ‘Hula Hoop’ on repeat all year, and Lil Internet keeps the video sparse and simple, focusing on dancers, hula hoops and rave lighting.

Lee Bannon
‘DAW In The Sky For Pigs / Disneµ Girls’
Dir: Jacob Wayler
A day (and night) in the life of Hollywood scion Scout Willis is soundtracked by two meditative, beatless cuts from Lee Bannon’s new album Pattern of Excel which exemplify the producer’s new direction.

Palmistry
‘Memory Taffeta’
Dir: Daniel Swan
The video for Palmistry’s latest deconstructed dancehall ballad is as slow-burning — literally — as the song itself. A fallen motorcyclist (we think) is slowly engulfed in flames that seem more vivid than real.

Julia Holter
‘Feel You’
Dir: Jose Wolff
The video for the first song from Julia Holter’s new album follows an adorable dog as it runs, lost and found, through the woods; for her part, Holter mostly looks peaceful and meditative.

Future
‘Real Sisters’
Dir: Spike Jordan
Future’s resurgence has been accompanied by a steady stream of videos (of varying quality and originality). ‘Real Sisters’ follows a big-money drug deal on a farm with a titular pair of “real sisters” — stick around to the end for a twist ending.
