K-Pop and EDM Collided at LA's Academy Club for "Electrik Seoul"

Two of the hottest genres in contemporary music were celebrated in a big way earlier this month in the City of Angels.

Producer Nino Lee, also known as Niniboi, took over Academy LA for a sold-out "Electrik Seoul" party on May 2nd, 2024. With an emphasis on the intersection of K-pop and EDM, fans of both genres hit the dancefloor to get down to remixes of international anthems.

Filipino dance music star Manila Killa helped provide the soundtrack of the night as he took the stage for a special K-pop set and hip-hop star Dumbfoundead made a surprise appearance.

Aside from the event's crossover appeal, there were many music-adjacent activities in which attendees could indulge. There were photo card giveaways, photo booths, karaoke and even spiked boba tea to energize the clubbers.

After the massive success of the outing, Lee revealed that "Electrik Seoul" will be coming to Los Angeles' famed Avalon club on June 13th, 2024. He promises a "next level" event that will make use of the entire 1,500-cap space.

While both events have a home in Los Angeles, Lee has bigger plans for "Electrik Seoul." He says he may expand the show to other major cities in the US.

"We can't wait to take this event to the next level and reshape the landscape for K-Pop and EDM in Los Angeles and beyond," he said in a press release.

The return of "Electrik Seoul" at Avalon is scheduled for June 13th, 2024. You can learn more about the upcoming event and purchase tickets here.
