Scope:
IIn 2016, Timeboy embarked on a visionary collaboration with Tchami, starting with the design of an innovative DJ booth that redefined stage aesthetics. Inspired by Tchami's priestly persona, Timeboy designed an altar-like DJ booth crafted from white acrylic, echoing the geometry of traditional church architecture. This structure featured layered acrylic panels resembling marble, which transformed under lighting to reveal hidden LED panels and tape within, creating a mesmerizing, otherworldly effect that complemented Tchami's performances.
By 2017, Timeboy's role expanded to Creative Director, where he amplified the stage concept into a full church aesthetic for Tchami's performances at Coachella. The updated design included a choir of 40, dressed in white robes, flanking Tchami, enhancing the sacred atmosphere. This setup, coupled with massive LED walls displaying new visual content, premiered to a packed audience and was subsequently toured globally.
The collaboration evolved further when Tchami teamed up with Malaa. Timeboy crafted a dual-stage design that merged the spiritual with the urban; one side featured a church adorned with medieval architecture and LED-lit arches, while the other replicated a gritty Parisian street scene complete with graffiti and street elements like fire bins and an overarching streetlight. This stark contrast created a dynamic and captivating performance environment, touring across the United States to near sell-out crowds and significant press acclaim.
