"highly cinematic"
Netherlands' based La Vie Sauvage, the musical project of Miel Goebel gets, well, chaotic, on the track I Thrive in Chaos. From the onset, the plucking sound and hyper arpeggios makes you feel a sense of tension, of danger, of adventure, of now and of the future. The industrial rock tones and fusion of French electro, synthwave, horror pop sprayed with underground hip hop flavors ends up in Goebel's producer hands as highly cinematic.

THE FACTS AS WE KNOW THEM - PRESS NOTES:
La Vie Sauvage, also known to some by his real name Miel Goebel, fuses french electro, synthwave, hip-hop and trap into a hyped-up, adrenaline-fused mix. Determined not to be pigeonholed, he has set out to create his own visionary brand.
Starting out playing the drums at age nine, he got a feeling for rhythm from an early age. He played for a few years after which he got to know about electronic music production and soon his first (electro) house songs followed. Going by the name Emilio G he released on the Housepital label and had a featuring on the Vato Gonzalez Mixtape. He also DJ’ed frequently, starting in local bars around Utrecht, moving up to Maassilo and Thalia in Rotterdam.
In 2014 he enrolled in a preparatory course at the dutch art college Artez. He was ultimately not accepted into the full course, but during the time spent with classmates he acquired an entirely new view on music, philosophy and culture. His taste shifted from club beats to alternative metal and surf-rock influenced breakbeat tracks with a sharp edge. By the end of 2018 he finished his debut album as Exo Moda, which will be released in cooperation with the famous dutch Wisseloord studios.
With this project, however, he returns to his club sound, yet with the outsider image and spirit that he has started to embody. You could feel like you are living inside a video game listening to ‘Carpe Noctem’ and ‘8 Bit Ultra Violence’, channel your inner anarchist and rule breaker playing ‘Antichrist Electrostar’, or live out your hedonistic fantasies with ‘Arp #69’. This is where the name also comes from, living ‘La Vie Sauvage’.
