BIO
<100 words
Yi, recently Naarm/Melbourne–based, crafts groove-led journeys that balance introspection with playfulness. Shaped by a diasporic upbringing and an intuitive approach to play, her sound is rooted in rhythm, texture, and emotional depth — seamlessly blending organic percussion, spacey psychedelica, global house, and minimal acid through steady builds and release.

Bridging sonic landscapes from her Chinese roots to global dancefloors, Yi inhabits the in-between — a selector shaped by cultural crosscurrents, rhythm, and feeling. With a diasporic upbringing spanning China, Aotearoa/New Zealand, and now Naarm/Melbourne, she channels this multiplicity into groove-led journeys that balance introspection with playfulness.
Guided by intuition and a deep sensitivity to energy and space, Yi’s sound is rooted in rhythm, texture, and emotional depth. Her selections move fluidly through organic percussion, spacey psychedelica, global house, and minimal acid, unfolding gradually and with intention.
Yi’s journey as a selector began in the island community of Siargao, Philippines, where she became a regular fixture within a year, shaped by the island’s communal energy and international influences. Now based in Naarm, her sets continue to reflect a curiosity for sound beyond borders — inviting listeners into immersive, steady builds that reward attention, movement, and presence.
