Active in New York, Los Angeles, and across Asia’s underground electronic scenes, SLEEPYLYCHEE has played at some of the most forward-thinking venues and collaborated with cutting-edge artists pushing the boundaries of sound. She crafts dynamic DJ sets that blend deep, driving techno with heavy bass and tribal rhythmic elements, layered with industrial textures and atmospheric soundscapes. Her selections feature pulsating low-end, polyrhythmic percussion, and evolving synth patterns that build tension and release, creating an immersive dancefloor experience.Recently at Jade, Sojourner Gallery, Noflexnyc · often with Lulannie, SENAIDA, LeCamille, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
Based in the vibrant cultural hub New York City, Naomi Duan delivers fast, driving techno powered by euphoric synths, raw intensity, and an immersive emotional arc. After spending her early years in Beijing, she was first introduced to underground electronic music in Hong Kong, before ultimately refining her artistic identity within New York City’s club scene. This multicultural trajectory has deeply informed her global perspective on music, shaping a sound that moves fluidly across scenes while remaining emotionally precise. After saving money following graduation to purchase her first pair of CDJs, she began developing her craft with a disciplined, self-driven approach that continues to define each of her set and production work til today. With roots in the underground and a growing international presence, she has performed across Europe, Asia, and the United States, alongside ongoing radio residencies in London and Hong Kong. In New York, she is a frequent presence at key cultural venues including 99 Scott, Chocolate Factory, Paragon Broadway, and Bossa Nova Civic Club. Approaching DJing as both architecture and storytelling, Naomi constructs each set with deliberate attention to energy, timing, and texture. Her debut EP, scheduled for 2026, marks the next phase of her evolution into original production, as she continues to expand her global reach.Last at The Red Pavilion in Feb · often with CSILLA, Daybreak, Saint Velez, none of them here that night
