Kelly Lee Owens

3 listings in 2 named rooms, over the last three years · one ahead · London · 18,409 following on RA

One of the most vital debuts of last year was the self-titled album from Kelly Lee Owens – a pristine opus of an album which was hauntingly evocative as it was thrillingly propulsive. It heralded the arrival of a singular new talent, with everyone from the Guardian and Mixmag to Vogue and Pitchfork all voting it as one of the albums of 2017.

In the wake of a run of incredible remixes for St Vincent, Jenny Hval and more, Owens recently remixed one of her all-time heroes, Björk, with an incredible rework of her track Arisen My Senses.

Her video for Throwing Lines recently won Best New Dance Video at the Music Video Awards

She recently dropped a sprawling 17m30 disco rework by Prins Thomas of her track ‘Bird’ which sold out on vinyl in just over a week.

2018 saw her continue to tour globally, including live appearances at Roskilde Festival, All Points East, Montreux Jazz Festival, Pukklepop, Greenman and a US run at Pitchfork Festival Chicago and Capitol Hill Seattle. She capped off the year supporting Jon Hopkins in London & Manchester, her own sold out Village Underground headline show and DJ sets at Printworks London, Fabric and supporting the legendary Underworld at their headline show.

Who they play with

Three nights on the books, and no name on more than one of them.

Five people have stood on one of these bills; none has stood on two.

The nights, the rooms and the bills are the listings themselves. The biography, the labels and the photograph are Resident Advisor's. Nothing on this page was written for it.
