The most important figure in the Seoul dance music scene who leads the South Korean underground scene with his unique perspective, he has invited many international artists to Soul. He opened a club NYAPI in 2022 which has outstanding sound quality and his sense of style scattered in every detail.
His music gained basically from many experiences at local and international gigs, and this will surely create a unique groove that is not confined to any genre.

Sound Metaphors Slumber Tape - ffan - 01 Jul 2024

This podcast is a spiritual journey, bringing together tracks from diverse origins, eras, and musical worlds. Blending sounds that range from Dub, Ambient, New Age, Ethereal, Abstract, and Acid Jazz, it aims to showcase musical spheres beyond the club-oriented sounds we usually associate with Abajour. It also reflects a parallel project called ‘Desira Noroi‘, and an event series in Paris called 'Trip Tease' dedicated to opening up and exploring a broader musical spectrum.
