DUBSTEP - Knife Party -Centipede 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSemARaqGqE
Knife Party is a dubstep duo, though other sources may consider them "electronic" I find that far from what their genre is. The reason why I chose this duo is that they produce dramatic bass drops using their drum and bass pendulum. 
The music video Centipede is captivating due to the fact on how they incorporate realistic centipedes and silhouettes of them in the background and foreground, how the camera captures the accurate vividness of the fire when it appears multiple times in the video. The scene at 1:50 transitions with sparks incorporated at the bottom of the scene. I'm not too educated on the CGI process, but I believe they use that to enhance the "reality" of the giant centipede near the end. 

ELECTRONIC – PRODUCER/DJ CULTURE Kygo- Stole the Show

I chose this artist because he combines the existence of voice and electronic sound quite exquisitely, and the transition of isolating the sounds from the vocal part is phenomenal,  specifically to a point where it does not become overwhelming. 
The theming of this music video is quite creative and unique. The two astronauts are the focal point of the video itself and hold many amazing features of art and technology. The astronauts themselves possess creative qualities within the "screen" of their helmet, it electronically lights up many different scenarios that relate to the music video's story. Not only do the astronauts hold a significant role in technology but the outdoor surrounding has dramatic lighting that reflects through the window. 

EXPERIMENTATION - FLULA BORG

This artist is an experimental artist who records himself on youtube. He is known for auto tune, mashing together many different sounds and producing it in the car in public and purposefully wants to be seen. The majority of the time is it covers from renowned songs. From memory, he once took usage of the musical instrument, a triangle, his own voice and many random devices other than a recording device to produce unique sounds and spark a twist to the original version of the song he chooses to make a cover on. 

NINETIES - RED HOT CHILLI PEPPERS - Californication

I grew up listening to the red hot chilli peppers, thanking my uncle for that. It brings back many childhood memories for me and is very nostalgic. Even though I was born in 1994, I still feel like I lived through that 90s vibe by looking back through music videos and cartoons that were existent back then. 
The Californication music video uses technology to create a video game within their video. This video game effect reminds me of the old school Grand Theft Auto. When it is the transition to their actual self, they have a green screen that shows clouds in the background.  

INDUSTRIAL 75/ GOTH - SOCIAL REPOSE - Empress

I chose this artist because it was recommended by a friend, personally, I don't like goth music but this music video was very unique and interesting. 
The music video works mostly in black and white. The technology used in this video shows when he is on the ground and there is a paranormal shadowy figure behind him that reveals itself in a black particle.
