NAONE
Why go: Naone hails from South Korea, and has been based in Amsterdam since 2020, where she has steadily carved out a distinctly personal space in the underground. Rooted, in ’90s and early-2000s rave culture, her sound moves fluidly between dark progressive house, dubbed-out tech house, psychedelic techno, acid and hypnotic, groove-driven club music. It’s raw, emotional and deeply dancefloor-focused, blending old-school spirit with forward-looking sensibility.
