Don't miss a beat of today's guest programmer @mickeycavs! With the help of @spruce_gruce, this is one rage ep for the drummers.

Kicking off from 10:30am and 10:30pm on ABC TV or stream live on ABC iview!

Drop and give me a track for this week’s Feature Video ‘Another Breathtaking Melody’ from Berlin-based DJ gilm0re, a clip which sees aspiring DJs endure a Full Metal Jacket akin bootcamp turned up to 11.

Refusing song requests and maintaining a solid bpm are on the training agenda here, and the drill sergeant isn’t taking failure as an option. Music video director Ricky Dick says “when I first heard the track, the snare drums immediately made me think of the military. I had this image in my head of soldiers moving in formation perfectly in sync with the beat. But I didn’t want to make a film with actual soldiers, so I started asking myself what a military training camp for DJs would actually look and feel like. What would they train? What would they eat? We probably should have also included an exercise on how to become good at TikTok and make viral reels, since that seems to be part of being a DJ these days too haha.”

“I wanted to create this world where people train to become DJs by repeating these strange exercises over and over again, with the same discipline and intensity you’d find in the military. I also feel that nowadays DJs are often put on this kind of pedestal where everything becomes super serious and almost overly important. I wanted the military aspect to exaggerate that idea and show how absurd things can become when something that started as pure joy slowly turns into something way too serious.”

Taking a lot of visual inspiration from the army film Beau Travail, Ricky says “ [director] Claire Denis had this incredible way of capturing soldiers in such an aesthetic and unique way, where the exercises become choreography. I really loved that tension between discipline and beauty and wanted to bring some of that into our own strange little world. And of course there was also the legendary film Full Metal Jacket.”
“Despite creating this absurd and funny universe, I wanted to approach the film in the most serious way possible so that the world actually felt authentic. Since the concept itself is already ridiculous, everything else had to feel real. The details, the performances, and the world-building all had to fully com

Green screens and green faces all go into the making of this week’s Feature Video, ‘The Crop’, from Bundjalung-based psych rockers Liminal.
 
From start to finish, the production of the clip went through a complete DIY process and combined a wide range of backyard VFX that play into the band's aesthetic, that director and bandmate Alako Myles describes as "a weird, liminal/nostalgic feeling”. 

Drawing inspiration from vintage CGI used on cover art for 90s braindance and jungle records, plus old motion graphics from Warp Records VHS tapes, Alako explains “this track is really silly and absurd, so I wanted to match it up with really nostalgic 3D lush visuals, and shoot everything really deadpan like we're obviously just miming along to the track.”
 
“We shot it in our lounge room against a white wall, and I rotobrushed/luma-keyed everything. 3D stuff was made in blender, and all the video effects were done on a Panasonic WJ-MX50. I set up a basic feedback loop (sending one of its outputs to an input), then used a downstream key + chroma/luma keys together to get the wavey/liney effect stuff.  For the analog FX inspo gotta give credit to Jason Galea too! I think his stuff was the first I'd seen.”
 
“One other thing - I had green eyebrows for about 3 weeks, it was this horrible face paint from silly sollies that wouldn't wash out. Was so annoying, because I totally scared my brother Oscar (the guitarist) from doing his shots for ages haha! I think there's definitely better face paint out there, that stuff was oily and smelled reaally evil.”

Naarm-based rockers Babyccino are swooping into Wild One position this week to meet their ‘Violent Fate’...

Directed by local artist and filmmaker Jasper van Daatselaar, ‘Violent Fate’ is a short and sweet depiction of  the band being chased down by a murderous crow (pun intended). As songwriter and frontwoman Alannah Sawyer explains, the song’s dark themes are the main source of inspiration. “I’m singing about dealing with grief and the fear of it coming back to haunt you” she says. “Jasper had come up with the idea of a chase, and I thought that we could be chased by a crow because to me it symbolises death or a bad omen.” 

“I read this book a few years ago called ‘Grief Is the Thing with Feathers’ by Max Porter around the time that I wrote the song so I was a bit inspired by that. Towards the end of the video we make peace with the bird and it joins us while we perform the song. Which relates to how I’ve learnt to live with the grief from the past. But all in all, I wanted the video to be silly and not too serious, despite the meaning behind it all. And it was so fun to film with Jasper!”

The shoot day was a pretty organic process according to Jasper, who says “I used to play basketball with this kid who made movies. His mum would film, and he’d play some mysterious character, using their house as the set. For this shoot, I tried to pretend I was the basketball kid, making a movie with their friends. We planned a story, and then just let the day happen, basketball kid style.”
 
An honourable mention is deserved for Alannah’s creation of the completely handmade crow puppet. She explains “I had initially ordered some fake crows from Ebay but they were too small. I wanted a bird in flight, so I spent 3 days making this fake bird. I feel sorry for my housemates, there were feathers and glue all over the dining table for days! And it looked like there was just a dead bird lying around, which was scary for my housemate who has a fear of birds (I have now learnt).”

Having just graced Aussie stages with their wild and varied setlists, we thought we’d replay alt-metal legends Deftones’ 2003 blue rage ep!

Filmed back when Deftones toured Australia as part of the Big Day Out festival lineup (RIP), join bandmates Stephen Carpenter, Abe Cunningham and Frank Delgado as they share their top tier music videos. For the fans that weren’t even alive when this episode was first recorded, this is your chance to witness a true slice of music history!

Tell your weekend plans to shove it and tune into ABC Entertains this Friday night from 11:33pm or stream live via iview!

Calling all groove heads, Mickey Cavanagh, a.k.a. Cavs, is stepping out from behind the kit to take his place on the rage red couch!

Plus, he's bringing Sojourn's producer and fellow drummer Jim Rindfleish of Melbourne jazz-fusion outfit Mildlife along for the... ride (ba-dum-tss).
Together the pair have lined up a playlist spanning their drumming influences, including Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Kraftwerk, Earth Wind & Fire, Talking Heads, The Police and plenty more.

Have you ever woken up and for a split second have no idea where you are? This week’s Wild One from Sydney locals Kate Moth captures that energy.

Kate Moth vocalist Matty finds himself floating through Sydney streets from the comfort of his own bed in the bands newest music video for ‘Too Late To Go Outside’. Shot on a shoe-string budget without special effects, the video recreates the dream-like experience of falling in and out of consciousness and the inner conflict of wanting to face the outside world. Or not.

“When we first wrote the song we knew it had a nocturnal feeling, and Matty’s vocals fell into this kind of not-happy-not-sad sleepy persona” explains co-director and Kate Moth guitarist Finbar Watson. “These increasingly early sunsets as the season changes got thinking about a half-dazed man, floating the streets of the city, seeing friends emerge from streetcorners while he can’t bring himself to get out of bed. But clearly the bed had other plans…”

It’s thanks to the co-directorial expertise of Darwin Schulze that the team opted to forgo any SFX and instead shoot everything IRL. Finbar explains “Darwin is the master of practical effects so we decided absolutely no green screens and we were gonna do this for real. Him and our Production Designer Kate Sowada built the bed in a trailer while our guitarist drove it around hoping not to get pulled over. So far there have been no fines in the mail and the guy who we rented the car from hasn’t made a peep. Yet.”
