Felicia Chen (SAD/DE) has long resisted simple categorization. She cut her teeth operating in New York City's scrappy DIY and experimental club scenes, channeling a passion for pop music, metal, rap, and global dance forms into unpredictable multi-layered DJ sets that harmonized with the US East Coast's relentless noise. It was in NYC where Chen connected with beloved local underground imprint PTP, a collective of like-minded outsiders that still exerts its influence on her today. PTP handled the release of her debut album PURGE in 2019 and it substantiated her artistic voice, refining her vast pool of influences into a cathartic distillate that oozes between vulnerable beauty and retching chaos. As a DJ, Chen has nurtured a reputation for her curiosity and restless energy, but as a live performer she edges away from the club completely, using her acrobatic voice and entire body to transmit emotional complexity that's deeper than language.
“This ain’t just your run-of-the-mill wall of power electronics and angry screams ... Dis Fig’s range is surprisingly undogmatic, including synthetic brass sections, flutes, and piles of quiet.”
