Watch about thirty seconds of Lord Conrad’s new video and you’ll know exactly who it’s for. Neon tickers flash $1,000,000 next to Bitcoin and the NASDAQ. Lamborghini-style supercars throw open their butterfly doors. Champagne pops in penthouses while interstellar spacecraft cut across distant galaxies, all of it set to a thumping progressive house track called “Forever Mirin.” This is the official video for a new single aimed squarely at the retail-investing, crypto-curious American crowd, and it isn’t subtle about it.
Lord Conrad, the stage name of Italian producer Corrado Garibaldi, is one of the few European producers to break Italian EDM into a US market that mostly runs on hip-hop. His video for “One More Day” landed on the Seven Hip-Hop channel, which carries more than 1.9 million subscribers, and “Deep Love” got picked up by Chili World and its 1.2 million subscribers. Those placements matter because they put a producer from Italy in front of exactly the audience that usually scrolls past European dance music. His back catalog already shows the reach. “Touch the Sky” cleared a million and a half views on YouTube, and “Only You” was featured on the shuffle-dance channel ELEMENTS, with an official video over 860,000 views.
“Forever Mirin” reads like his most America-tuned move yet. The whole thing is AI-generated, which gives it that hyper-smooth, constantly morphing look, and the visuals lean all the way into 2020s tech optimism. On-screen text claims a “Quantum CPU AI Revolution” has solved every human problem and handed out wealth and immortality to all. There’s no doom here, no machines turning on their makers. Conrad himself shows up as a cyber-armored DJ, a Tron-style racer, and a laser-toting action hero. It’s loud and excessive on purpose.
What makes it work as a piece of culture is how precisely it knows its target. The Bitcoin moonshots, the SpaceX imagery, the NASDAQ obsession, these are the daydreams of the same people Conrad wants pressing play. The music and the subject matter are pulling toward one market, and he’s stopped pretending otherwise.
It’s a snapshot of a specific moment in digital hype, packaged for the audience most likely to see themselves in it. You can find more of his work on Spotify, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and his website.
