Yaeji (DJ)

With its blend of British rave sounds, New-York house beats, and Korean folk music, Yaeji’s debut has garnered rave reviews across the board – from Resident Advisor to The New Yorker – and artists are lining up to have her remix their tracks. So far, Charli XCX, Dua Lipa, and Robyn have made the cut. So has Drake; Yaeji’s cover of “Passionfruit” showed him how the song’s supposed to sound. The international music press is unanimous: “Few artists are truly smashing genre boundaries quite like Yaeji – and with her debut album she’s doing that smashing with a hammer.” And her debut album, With a Hammer, has been hailed as an ingenious redefinition of electronic music. Do the reviews line up with reality? Find out this August at the OFF Festival.
