Catch Seoul's Yoel balance polish and rough edges at Kang Kao's party
Kang Kao kicks off 2026 with a fresh face and a steady sense of curiosity. Yoel arrives from Seoul, where early exposure to electronic music shaped a deep affection for vinyl and long-form listening. Now a resident at Club Ring, he represents a generation more interested in craft than hype, learning the room as carefully as the records in his bag. His sets move freely across techno, trance and house without sounding restless. The throughline is control, measured shifts that feel considered rather than showy. At times the mood sharpens, then softens again, balancing polish with a rougher edge that keeps dancers attentive. This first party of the year leans forward rather than looking back, offering a night guided by instinct, patience and the quiet confidence of someone still finding new ways to surprise.
January 30. B550-700 via here and B800 at the door. Trinity Complex, 9pm-4am
