As he recalls, “from when I was like 12 to 22 that was pretty much all I did, so it felt more like coming back!
Kyle (I Found You), his debut song, was released at the end of 2019. It captured the hazy sensation of bumping into someone on the dance floor and briefly falling in love. It was impressionistic and fleeting.
Poet MC Guante, whose work Gibson had discovered on Instagram, recites, “In the smoking mayhem, our shoulder blades kissed [and] I found you.
The absence of human contact during lockdown was the impetus for his breakout song. The song Marea (We’ve Lost Dancing) from 2021 included a recording of a conversation he had regarding the effect of Covid on nightclubs with “rave shaman” The Blessed Madonna.
“We’ve missed dancing and hugs with our loved ones and friends. All these things that we assumed were normal, she said.
“What comes next will be fantastic if I can make it through these next six months, day by day.”
Although it was a somber requiem for the life we had lost, tinged with optimism for the future, the song changed when clubs and festivals reopened last year.
Its ominous vocals and oscillating synths became a celebration, a catharsis, and a release. This music also influenced Actual Life 3’s more club-oriented style.
The trilogy’s conclusion has left what happens next a closely-kept secret. But Gibson has fully transitioned from being a producer for hire to a solo artist.
“The way that people have responded to the music has really altered me. 100%, he claims.
“Like, I now compose music for a different purpose. Since I’m at the correct place, I don’t think I can understand it, but I’m positive there have been significant changes.
And for that, I will always be grateful to those who made it possible.
