BRASS DEPARTMENT "The Rescue Of A Birthday Party (Hip Hop Medley)" Directed by Alex Ventling 
We've all experienced how awkward and cringe-worthy a lame birthday party can be. Luckily turning that around is precisely Brass Department's speciality. The Swiss band take on their next case, doing what they do best in energetic Hip Hop medley action!

This music video was filmed and edited independently by Alex Ventling, shot in the iconic streets of Basel, which this band calls home. Key images in the well-known hip hop music videos of the original songs from the medley were remade and creatively adapted to the band and storyline.
On an ultra-low budget and with the help of party-hungry friends, Brass Department's heroic and energetic performance is exactly what serves this mission as accomplished.

Dank Sinatra and Little Tokyo "Winning" Directed by Lon Breedlove
We put all our blood and sweat (mostly sweat without a/c) into turning our producer's grandma's cute bungalow into a trap house. Our femmes fatales did their own stunts. We used real Hennessy in the waterboarding scene. Dank brought money and blunts. We made magic together on one hot summer day in Austin.

Køyeseng "Bunkbed" Directed by Arnt Heggli
The music video for the song "Køyeseng" is all about how not to kill your own dreams as a child. The video portaits a young kid having a flash of what his life can turn out if he kills his own dreams.

Old Man Saxon "Sunday Saxon" Directed by Anthony Hays
A young boy escapes an environment filled with impulsive behavior, bad influences, and parental neglect to encounter a slow moving, long living, and all knowing creature that assures him everything is going to be fine.

Rex "50¢ Wings" Directed by Americo Siller
A young man walks on to a basketball court and begins dancing once he puts his headphones on.

A good song can peak the imagination and extend a listener beyond the mundane.

Casting De'Von Hartley was a stroke of good fortune because we did not have a choreographer or any personal experience with roller skating prior to shooting the project.
