Russian underground producer Yana Kedrina -- aka Kedr Livanskiy -- drops the gritty new visuals for "Keep Your Word" (the "stupidest song of the album"), taken from her brilliant debut EP January Sun. Directed by Yana with her friend Konstantin Bushmanov, it feels like something you might've stumbled upon watching some late-night Soviet public access version of Amp in the mid '90s:
Montreal producer Kaytranada follows up the best video of the year with the Shomi Patwary-directed visuals for another track from his Polaris Prize-winning debut, reminding me that I need to pick up 99.9% on vinyl immediately. "Creative vision" by Kaytranada:

NYC producer and Ratking member Sporting Life continues his run of dope basketball-themed tracks (the ghostly "Hydrate the Hustle" and its accompanying Galcher Lustwerk remix are essential) with "Court Vision", featuring the always beautiful and hypnotic vocals of Vancouver's Evy Jane...

Video by Still Corners + Leon Dufficy, and starring the group's own Tessa Murray:
