OOH LA LA RECORDS: VIDEO ARTIST SERIES #18

At long last, we have the epic conclusion to Robotic Raptor‘s ‘Hot Sauce’ trilogy that has taken over the Ooh La La Video Artist Series for the past couple months. Speaking on the new video, which is set to Tropic of Pisces’ “They Count”, Director Erick Fix says “This is the final chapter of our story. The initial feeling for this song was loss and destruction. The girl, jealous of the boy’s love for his hot sauce, hurts him the best way she knows how.” Watch the story unfold below, and incase you missed it, watch Part 1 and Part 2 as well!

Go Wolf Signs To Ooh La La Records, First Single Available TODAY

All the way from Belfast in Northern Ireland, Ooh La La Records couldn’t be more excited to announce Go Wolf as our newest signing! Leading with their dancey summer single “One More Night” and lots of love from BBC Radio 1, this is a band from overseas you’ll want to keep your eyes on. The song (which is what originally drew our attention to this talented young trio) is available for purchase on all digital retailers TODAY.

The Go Wolf origin story is almost too perfectly arty to be true: a poetry night in a Belfast barber shop. Chris enjoys Scott’s poem and notices their similar dress sense. Outside afterwards, a stranger notices the same thing. They start talking and decide to form a band. With the addition of Steve on drums and some killer songs, the trio have quickly become one of the most talked-about new names in the Belfast scene.

Full of style, charisma and a dedication to perfectly pure pop, the band have already supported the likes of The 1975, CSS and Jape, while frontman Scott has turned his considerable production chops to remixes for the likes of Ed Zealous and Ryan Vail. Like all the best partnerships, there’s a tangible creative tension between Scott and Chris, and it results in wonderfully realized pop music. Wallow in the sumptuous single Voices, a synth- pop confection as sophisticated as Phoenix and as intimate as The xx. Or see them live, where their infectious, rhythmic tunes recall the likes of Talking Heads and Little Dragon. Go Wolf are all about artful pop music that is simple, sensual and powerful.

The hot sauce is back!

We absolutely loved Robotic Raptor‘s last Video Artist Series segment, showcasing the friendship between a young boy and a bottle of hot sauce. We loved it even more when they came back to us with another installment in the epic saga, and couldn’t be more excited to share it with you all today. Director Erick Fix says of the video, “This song felt like an odd love story and was the inspiration for making the protagonist an inanimate object. The boy, now a man, lives with his best friend (hot sauce). All is well until there is competition for his affection.” Stream the video below, and enjoy!
