Naone

Naone hails from Seoul, 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 a forward-looking sensibility.

After becoming a key figure in Seoul’s local scene, Naone quickly found her place in Amsterdam, where she became a regular at spaces such as Garage Noord, De School, Nano, and with illegal rave collective noclubs, as well as at the city’s flagship institution, Dekmantel. From there, her presence has grown internationally, with appearances across Berlin, London, New York, Tokyo and festivals throughout Europe.

Beyond her reputation as a DJ, Naone is also an increasingly focused and expressive producer. With three solo EPs and a collaborative project with her longtime friend S.O.N.S., she has released on labels including UTTU, Warning and Safe Trip. She also co-runs the down2earth label alongside denial, a space where she explores the full breadth of her musical vision, from ambient textures and acid lines to dubbed-out rhythms and percussive club tools.

What truly sets Naone apart, however, is not only her musical range but the energy she brings to everything she does. Radiant, warm and endlessly funny, she carries a genuinely positive spirit whether she’s commanding a packed dancefloor or sharing a moment offstage, making her a rare and deeply valued presence in the scene.
