Watch Archi Banal's Video For 'U Don't Stop The Beat'

Recently relocated from Tāmaki Makaurau to London, Archi Banal's debut solo collection my baby / former self has proved to be a real winner, gifting us student radio hit 'soft x sweet' and now a jaw-dropping video for dazed banger 'u don't stop the beat' – described by the artist as "written from the perspective of a computer algorithm trying to replicate human emotion." Directed by Pippi Nola, the new clip draws viewers into Banal's hyperreal universe of emotive electronic pop, deploying lysergic anime dance imagery, spicy cartoon snippets and mind-melting 3D collaged visuals to maximum effect. Banal has had an awesomely productive year, also releasing the fuzz-pop Introducing Blush Juliet EP in collaboration with Emmanuel Sarmiento.
