BACK2BASIX x JIMMY BRIXTON
Back2basix started their longstanding relationship with music artist Jimmy Brixton back in 2017, when they worked together on Jimmy's Velvet Silky Boy music video. Their collaboration continued into the creation of the Love, Lust, Misery Visual LP, working on the choreography and movement direction of several of the music videos.
.
In 2024, they come together again for the music video of Moi... Lolita, Jimmy's tribute to Alizée's 2000's hit included in Jimmy's EP I'm Not Perfect (Side A), featuring reimagined versions of pop classics.
.
At present, they're working together on the choreography and movement direction for the music videos of West End Girls and I'm Not Perfect, from the same EP.

NUM-0 Live Immersive Installation, premiered last November at Shoreditch Arts Club, is an original, thought-provoking, artistic view to perspectives and blindspots, presented as a unique and dynamic performance combining photography, spoken word, fashion and dance.
