Artist

Dis Fig

The New Jersey-born, Berlin-based producer, DJ, and vocalist has moved from the dancefloor to annihilating spectacle, crafting cinematic sonic expressions with weighty emotional intensity. As an artist who has long resisted simple categorization, she cut her teeth operating in New York City's DIY and experimental club scenes, refining her vast pool of influences into a cathartic distillate that oozes between vulnerable beauty and retching chaos.

As a DJ she's become notorious for her curiosity and restless energy, but as a live performer she edges away from the club completely, using her acrobatic voice and physical presence to dredge and transmit emotional complexity from a pit deeper than language. Chen’s powerful, howling performances have spawned collaborations with bassmaster The Bug and, most recently, doom-shriekers The Body — all meditative tension, raw power and heavy, bleak vibes: a sledgehammer with a scalpel edge.
