Jessica Cho hasn’t visited Seoul, South Korea, in a decade, and she hasn’t lived there in over 20 years, but she’s endlessly inspired by her birthplace. She DJs under the name Korea Town Acid and the title of her debut EP, Mahogani Forest, was inspired by the Korean fantasy film Along With The Gods: The Two Worlds.
When asked whether Korean women in electronic music are having a moment right now, Cho’s response is “big time.”
There’s DJ/fashion muse Peggy Gou, whose popularity and talent have made her one of the most in-demand artists in the world. There’s Brooklyn-based Yaeji, whose recent Toronto show (which Cho opened) sold out in minutes.
Add Korea Town Acid to the list.
