Not Mad: L-Vis 1990
Some artists have a definable sound, happy to let their music be packed into little boxes and categorised. They make our lives easy. Then there are the artists who have a sound that just doesn't fit anywhere. They are what they are, nothing else. They also make our lives easy.
The problem is, every now and then an artist comes along that doesn't want to do either, keeping us on our toes and throwing us a curveball when we least expect it.
This is L-Vis 1990. Co-founder of label and club night Night Slugs alongside Bok Bok, he is an artist whose musicality has shifted from explosive hyperbass on his debut 'Change The Game' to propulsive Chicago house on 'Club Constructions Vol.1' all via the smooth pop sensibilities of album 'Neon Dreams'. The unifying feature being an increasing focus on 4/4 rhythms.
Until now.

Last week, I wrote about my art-less experience at Art Basel, and probably lost a few art cred points. But I was just being honest. Sorry. Music first. One thing I didn’t mention was “Love Focused Like A Laser,” the “hybrid opera” that London label Night Slugs put on in collaboration with the artist Matthew Stone. That’s because it was so fucking crazy that it needed its own post.
Involving Southern Baptist sermons, Surrealist poems, videos, rapping, and lots of weird dancing, the performance was unlike anything I’d ever seen. Plus, it boasted a cast of everyone from Kelela to Boy Child.

L-Vis1990 is usually out and about in New York City at least four times a week, but the month before this event, you couldn’t catch him anywhere. He was holed up in his studio working on the soundtrack to this special night, and he poured himself into it until the big day.
