BAMBI
Classical training lent her form. Liminal spaces taught her patience. Club culture gave her heat. Across residencies at Macadam in Nantes, for Hors-Sol in Paris, and over the airwaves of Rinse France—not to mention recent tours through Australia, South Asia, and North America—Bambi’s natural instinct for music in motion has ripened into a kind of dancefloor clairvoyance.
As part of a new generation of French artists championing the low-end psychedelia movement, she blends deep techno, trance, dub and bass music with the bombast of psy to craft sets that make dancing feel like breathing: ritual, instinctive, life-giving.
As a co-founder of the Réinventer la nuit mutual aid network strengthening safety, working conditions and care and support spaces for femme-aligned, trans and non-binary people, Bambi is at the forefront of the movement to promote safer dance spaces in the French underground scene and beyond. Which is fitting, given all of the above. If there is a theme that courses through Bambi’s art and practice, it is one of dancefloor renewal. And isn’t that what we’ve been chasing all along?
