bio:
Yaeji is Kathy Yaeji Lee, a 24-year-old dance producer who splits time between Seoul and New York. Her voice is unmistakably her own – a hushed whisper sliding in and out of English and Korean, so present yet barely there at all. Yaeji’s self-titled debut came out this past Spring to wide-eyed praise from Pitchfork, Fader, Boiler Room, NPR, Resident Advisor, and the New Yorker.
Yaeji follows up her debut with ‘EP2’, out November 3 on Godmode. First single ‘drink i’m sippin on’ is a bold step forward, with crisp modular synth programming influenced in equal parts by rap and techno, and a dizzyingly catchy vocal performance about “making up what what you can’t see.” The video is directed by frequent collaborator Anthony Sylvester, and was shot verite in the ambient lighting of New York’s Chinatown.
To celebrate the release, Yaeji will be performing live in Seoul, Paris, New York, and Los Angeles in early November. Her hybrid CDJ performances at MoMA PS1, Boiler Room, and Hot Mass this year have been sweltering crowd-inclusive revelries, featuring Yaeji singing her own songs over the sounds and records that inspire her.
