Miqui Brightside says his stage name comes from his crush name from years ago. But we think it’s a matter of destiny. Brightside is one of those people who transmit a radiant energy. Brightside is the good side of music. Now, the producer and DJ are spreading his vibes with a new song, Kelly Kapoo<\/strong>r<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Kelly Kapoor – Miqui Brightside ft. Kenjamin Franklin<\/h3>\n

Kelly Kapoor<\/strong><\/em> is inspired by the idea of someone who falls hopelessly in love with a fictional character. Seeing the obsession people have with series, Miqui says, is not at all far-fetched. The artist himself is included in that group and confesses his platonic and fictional love: Carmen Sandiego<\/strong>. “Although in the past I also had my crush on Dragon Ball’s Android 18 (Lazuli)”<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The truth is that this idea of someone falling in love with a character that doesn’t really exist sounds between nostalgic and funny, between sad and happy. There’s something about it in Kelly Kapoor<\/strong><\/em>: “I think the lyrics move between those two spheres, admitting to being in love with a fictional character and at the same time laughing at himself in a situation that’s getting out of hand. That’s how, before the arpeggiator that works as a chorus, the lyrics say that it’s not really that bad”<\/strong>, Miqui says.<\/p>\n

In the song we hear the voices of Kenjamin Franklin<\/strong>, who add a dose of melodrama that contrasts perfectly with the beats. A masterful combination that plays in the song without ever leaving the club aesthetic, a touch that breaks the common line of Miqui Brightside. “It’s definitely more of a dance floor theme. I have to confess that I have tried it in a couple of cities where I’ve DJ, and it works”<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

No doubt Kelly Kapoor<\/em> has something that makes us want to listen to it in the mornings on the subway, but also at night in the club. And it has something, too, that shows a process of change in the producer. It’s a polished, mature song. “I want to think that what has changed is basically that I have matured in the sound – and very probably, as a result of learning that a chorus or “drop” in electronics is not so much based on adding elements, but on taking them out”<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

More music, more lives, more dates<\/h4>\n

Kelly Kapoor<\/em> tells us that Miqui Brighstide loves photography, Catan, The Office<\/em> <\/strong>and cereal (oh, no milk added). But we’ve gone a little deeper. He has just finished, with the consequent feeling of emptiness at the end of a series, all the seasons of Adventure Hour<\/strong><\/em>. He has recently discovered Skee Mask<\/strong><\/em>, he listens to @@@@@<\/strong><\/em> by Arca<\/strong> every day and he would like his song to be played on a set by Kaytranada<\/strong> or Jerrau Vandall<\/strong>. And we’ve asked him what we’re most interested in. What else can we expect from Miqui Brightside? “More music, more live shows, more dates and probably a blond Miqui again because I’m thinking about bleaching my hair, but well, all in good time”<\/strong>. Ok. Yes to everything.<\/p>\n
