valentine
part i of the machine trilogy.
'valentine' is a dark anatomy of wrong intimacy. it exposes the horror of two people settling for comfort over connection. a story of being settled, yet perpetually unsatisfied.
'valentine' is an industrial R&B project where Kai imagines the music Aaliyah might have created had she collaborated with Nine Inch Nails.
MUKAIKAI (mkk like ‘okk’) is a sonic shapeshifter based in the frozen tundra of Toronto. A project of duality, he splits his sound into two distinct alter-egos: Kai, the smooth R&B crooner, and MKK, the rocker with an edge. When he isn’t navigating genre switches, he is likely hibernating through the Canadian winter—buried under a duvet, binging anime, and waiting for the snow to melt.
