It’s the official video for Paranoid, the debut offering from Dansette Junior, brainchild of ex-pat Brummie producer and songwriter Will Hunt, with the single due to be released on August 30 on Columbia Records.

Will upped sticks from his native Birmingham in the summer of 2005, so the story goes, setting up home above a Wetherspoon’s pub in Bethnal Green, pulling pints part-time and gigging across the capital as an acoustic singer-songwriter before beginning to dabble in clubbing music after moving to Kentish Town a year later and buying a load of DJ equipment and synths, inspired by places such as Fabric and The Cross.

He later met  Graham Gaffney in a local Kentish Town pub when the pair bonded over a shared love of Godspeed You! Black Emporer and decided to make music together, with Graham on drums and Will on guitar and synths, before adding Johnny McDermott on synths and bass in September 2008.

Two years later and they are hoping for chart success with Paranoid, produced by drum n bass men Drumsound & Bassline Smith, with a heavy, throbbing bassline, electronic synths and radio-friendly melodic vocals, not to mention the inspired video, following the antics of flocks of bass-loving pigeons.

It’s also worth watching it on YouTube just to read the comments underneath. “Who Wants To Have Sex With Those Pigeons????” is a personal favourite.

But with the New Yorker announcing a new tour date in Birmingham, we thought we’d celebrate by pointing you in the direction of where to get your hands on a version for free.

Soil and Pimp Sessions originated out of combining jazz jams with DJ sets on Tokyo’s club scene and have since gone on to enjoy critical and commercial success, signed to Gilles Peterson’s Brownswood Recordings label in the UK.

Check them out below rocking a huge crowd at the Fujirock festival in 2007. Then imagine that energy transferred to the intimate surrounds of the Hare & Hounds and you know you’re in for a pretty special, and no doubt sweaty, night.

But the results often speak for themselves, no more so than on today’s Video of the Day, the unusually accessible Stillness is the Move.

The track has been re-released this week on 7ins vinyl and boasts a hip-hop beat and cutesie, melodic vocal.

The video itself, directed by Matthew Lessner, is a typically flighty affair, all folksie outfits and some gorgeous scene shots set in Mount Equinox, Vermont, with some cameos from a few llamas and huskies.

Stillness is the Move, originally available to download last year, is taken from their acclaimed 2009 album Bitte Orca, which figured highly in Brum Notes Magazine’s list of the albums of the year.
