Korea Town Acid is a multidisciplinary electronic artist from South Korea, based in Toronto. Her fearless, genre-fluid sound blends experimental club, hip-hop, breakbeat, jungle, and cinematic textures — always pushing boundaries and reshaping expectations.
She was nominated for Underground Dance Single of the Year at the 2022 JUNO Awards, and contributed production to the Polaris Music Prize-winning album Parallel World by Cadence Weapon.
Her dynamic live sets and eclectic DJ performances have taken her around the globe, with appearances in Seoul, London, Berlin, New York, Athens, Bilbao, Riyadh, Lyon, and across Canada. She has performed at major festivals and institutions including Nuits Sonores, MUTEK Montreal, Pop Montreal, Boiler Room, and TIFF.
An alumna of the 2018 Red Bull Music Academy, Korea Town Acid has been featured on BBC Radio 1’s Benji B and Frank Ocean’s Homer Radio. In 2023, she performed at Louis Vuitton’s first Women’s Pre-Fall show in Seoul, and in 2025, she debuted her new concept album Glow Up with a Live PA showcase at Nuits Sonores (Lyon).
She is also the founder of Groovy Lab Records, an independent label dedicated to weird, wired, and wavy sounds — a home for boundary-pushing, future-facing electronic music.
