Kazy Lambist persistently navigates the realm of his friction-less, conflict-free sounds with a music both welcoming and panoramic, sophisticated and hedonistic, volatile and elegant, relaxed yet full of character. While others might resort to using their electronic arsenal for more aggressive means, Kazy Lambist, inspired by sensuality and emotions, refuses to confine himself to certain restricted musical niches. Not surprising for an artist who’s been striving to push boundaries since his early days, looking to offer an extensive vision to his audience, inviting listeners to daydream in their hammock, dance away in a cosy lounge or on a hypnotic sun-kissed dancefloor.
His first viral hit “Doing Yoga”, had earned him the new talent Inrocks Lab audience award in 2015, film director Guillermo Del Toro’s enthusiastic endorsement and led to a collaboration with fashion designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac. Subsequently, he released the stellar breakthrough album 33 000 Ft, undeniably making a name for himself on the electro-pop scene.
Kazy Lambist is now ready to launch the second chapter, an LP almost six years in the making that shouldn’t be mistaken for the result of artistic inertia. The fresh-faced thirty-year old still delighted us with his interim output including, the breezy Sky Kiss EP with a compelling Jean-Benoît Dunckel (Air) collaboration, breathing a new, more classic life into some of his early successes (Decrescendo EP), and a few more exploratory wanderings (‘Nasty’ together with Italian rapper Tutti Fenomeni).
He also made the world dance with his live shows and Dj sets, confirming his global appeal with a platinum-certified single (‘Love Song’), five gold-certified singles (‘Doing Yoga’, ‘Headson’, ‘On You’, ‘Annecy’ and ‘Work’) and a worldwide tour bookended by a 20-concert US tour alongside fellow French outfit Kid Francescoli
