"Spicy City" music video (KINO)

no artist thread yet so it's time. Malibu is an at this point already legendary French ambient artist, who started out in DJ collective TGAF alongside Oklou (they also formed the dancehall duo Faro).

Her radio show United in Flames started in 2016 and is still running monthly on NTS, attracting a strong cult following for consistently beautiful, ethereal mixes, often recontextualizing trance classics into beatless epics.

she's already released a stellar split tape with Dutch artist Torus, under her mashup moniker DJ Lostboi, and runs a youtube channel of ethereal cover songs as belmont girl

TONIGHT

I'll see the debut of her album AV at Berlin Atonal next week btw, in a huge abandoned power plant will also upload footage of when I saw DJ Lostboi b2b Torus on that stage 2 years ago, was pretty epic

MV of the year, possibly

spicy city is amazing

I'll keep it a buck fifty, and my friends felt the same, the Atonal album preview was like.. nice? but def didn't live up to the hype I had for it.

visuals were still the same single light lighthouse thing she's been doing for a while now, there were a bunch of rly beautiful moments, but it overall felt a bit too washed out and too restrained. having seen her 2x now I'm starting to feel she's maybe a bit of a shy performer?

like, I know what she's capable of as a producer and DJ from her releases and radio and so far I'm missing the big emotional moments in her performances. and tbh w the visuals too especially after this incredible video and her continued work voice acting and soundtracking Poggi/Vinel films I hoped she'd lean into that and have some cinematic visuals for the live show tbh

that said the performance with Torus at Atonal 2 years ago did manage it, but that was him on the boards and her on vocals too. need to upload clips one of these days that one was epic
