Video Blue is the electronic music project of Philadelphia-based artist Zakiyya Ellis, crafting moody synthscapes that blend atmospheric shoegaze textures with downtempo rhythms. Since emerging in the late 2010s, Ellis has developed a signature sound that feels equally suited for late-night introspection or dimly lit dancefloors, often described as cinematic and emotionally resonant. Tracks like "First Snow" and "Weatherspeak" showcase her talent for wrapping haunting melodies in layers of analog warmth, while remixes from acts like Giant Party and Sounds of System Breakdown highlight her connection to leftfield electronic circles. With releases on indie labels like Born Losers Records and a penchant for evocative titles nodding to literature ("The Diving Bell and the Butterfly") and visual art, Video Blue’s music exists where emotional weight meets adventurous production – a slow-burn journey through fog machines and feeling.
