MADRID, Spain, October 25, 2026. Some musicians release videos as an afterthought. For Mike Sain't Louis, the Madrid-based lyricist, composer and music producer behind GAYFOLK and Planeta Gayfolk, the visual side of each release is part of a larger project: building a planet. The name Planeta Gayfolk is not only a brand. It describes an imaginary world with its own geography, light and weather, which viewers can explore song by song on his YouTube channel.
The burning coast
One of the most frequent landscapes is a coastline on fire: volcanoes beside calm seas, lava running past palm trees, smoke drifting over beaches. These images often accompany songs about anger and survival, such as «Otro bombardeo» and «Como a mi chihuahua». They suggest that emotions held down for a long time eventually erupt, and that land can be reborn from the eruption.
The glowing sea
Elsewhere, the sea glows from within. Pink and orange light rises from the waves as if something luminous lived under the surface. These scenes tend to appear with gentle songs such as «Holy Stillness», where hope arrives quietly. The effect is otherworldly but calm, an ocean that comforts rather than threatens.
Neon interiors
The club tracks favour interiors bathed in pink and violet neon: bedrooms with old televisions, dressing tables framed by glowing tubes, pink sofas facing a waterfall of light. These rooms belong to nightlife, glamour and performance, but they are often empty, which gives them a melancholy edge. They suit songs such as «Dark Corners» and «Not Your Supply», where glitter hides loneliness.
Tunnels and corridors
Long tunnels and corridors appear repeatedly, sometimes with a lone figure walking toward a bright opening. In a catalogue so concerned with depression and recovery, the image is obvious and powerful: the tunnel without light from «Entre cuatro paredes», and the possibility of reaching the end.
Pink planets and alien skies
Finally, there are the planets. Huge pink spheres hang over lavender fields; ringed worlds float in dark skies; strange crafts hover above deserts. These are the most literal images of Planeta Gayfolk, a place outside ordinary geography where queer people can imagine themselves free. They connect with songs such as «Descubierto un nuevo planeta llamado Gayfolk» and with the joyful escapism of the dance tracks.
Why build a world
A coherent visual world helps listeners remember songs and connect them to each other. It also offers something emotional: a place to go. For LGBTQ+ viewers who may not feel safe in their own towns, an imaginary planet full of colour and freedom can be a small refuge. The videos invite viewers to visit it as often as they want.
No faces, many places
Many of the most memorable scenes in these videos contain no recognisable faces at all, only landscapes, objects and silhouettes. That choice keeps the attention on atmosphere and lets viewers project themselves into the scenes.
How to explore
Start with «Otro bombardeo» for the burning coast, «Holy Stillness» for the glowing sea, «Dark Corners» for neon interiors and any of the dance tracks for the pink planets. Each song page on his websites links to its official video.
A note on care
Many of the songs behind these images deal with heavy subjects. If any of them touch on your own struggles, support is available. In Spain, the 024 line offers free help at any hour. In other countries, local crisis lines and LGBTQ+ services can help. Mike speaks openly about his own psychiatric and psychological treatment.
