Visionist

Born Louis Carnell in South London, Visionist is a pioneering British electronic music producer and DJ known for his innovative approach to grime and experimental club music. Emerging in the early 2010s, Visionist quickly attracted attention with a deeply personal and atmospheric sound—melding fragmented beats, haunting vocal manipulations, and a spacious sense of melancholy inspired by his own experiences of anxiety and vulnerability. His early releases on labels like Left Blank, 92 Points, and Lit City Trax positioned him at the forefront of a new wave of club producers, remixing grime’s raw sonics with avant-garde sensibilities.

In 2015, Visionist released his acclaimed debut album 'Safe' on PAN, an exploration of emotional intensity that further cemented his reputation for pushing the boundaries of dance music. This was followed by 'Value' (2017) and 'A Call to Arms' (2021), projects that intertwined conceptual rigor with a continually evolving sound palette, touching on themes of identity, power, and self-worth. Visionist’s work extends beyond recorded music—he has collaborated with visual artists, fashion designers, and has crafted immersive audio-visual live performances, reinforcing the multidisciplinary nature of his artistry.

His influence can be heard across the UK’s experimental music underground and beyond, as he continues to challenge conventions and forge new directions within contemporary electronic music.
