Paris-based artist Khadyak is back, and she’s doing it on her own terms. Since her debut “Rise & Walk” EP in March 2020, which served as an inclusive rallying cry for unity, movement and empowerment through dance, Khadyak has continued to carve a distinct path in the underground electronic scene.
After years of working professionally as a dancer for artists around the world, paris-based artist Khadyak turned her creative energy toward writing and producing her own music, a transition driven by the same creative urgency that fueled her movement. Music became an extension of her body, her voice and her presence.
Now, following the impact of her early work and the resonance of Rise & Walk, Khadyak makes her cinematic and physical comeback with the new single “Masterpiece” directed by Timothée Lambrecq, a bold reimagining of how underground sounds can connect body and audience through minimalism.
“Masterpiece” is a statement as much as it is a track: Khadyak explores minimalism not as restraint, but as an act of power. She brings together bass, techno and alternative hip-hop into a raw and physical visual language that cuts through the overload of contemporary club culture. The song strips back excess noise and expectation, finding strength in what remains. Producing, writing, performing and releasing the track independently became part of this process, a way of reclaiming control and clarity in her art.
Influenced by cinema, Japanese minimalism, movement and the body itself, Khadyak approaches club music as a total experience of sound, fashion, motion, presence and intention intertwined. Her creative world is as much a physical space as a sonic one, welcoming listeners into a unique blend of tension and expression.
Her return with “Masterpiece” marks not just another single, but the continuation of a journey that began with dance, evolved through community-centred electronic music and now unfolds as a refined manifesto of minimalist power.
