I make experimental techno about obsession, dependency, and emotional collapse. I'm based in Seoul, and my work reflects how people today become addicted to stimulation - constantly chasing stronger dopamine, even when it slowly destroys them. My 2024 album Auto Immune is an eight-track record about resistance, self-destruction, and internal conflict. Rather than following strict genre rules, I focus on building immersive environments where sound functions like a psychological space. My signature track "Execution" represents this direction most clearly. It portrays a person slowly collapsing under addiction to pleasure and stimulation. I wrote "Execution" because I see many people today slowly destroying themselves through addiction to stimulation. We are constantly chasing small dopamine rewards and losing control over our emotions and bodies. While composing this track, I imagined the physical and emotional process of dying from this addiction. The second half represents the final hormonal surge before death, when the body desperately tries to survive. Through sound, I wanted to express how people become consumed by stimulation until the very end.
