On 20 November 2026, KEYI Magazine celebrates its 8th anniversary with a fundraiser at OXI Berlin, bringing together artists and friends from across the electronic music community for a night dedicated to independent music and culture. The lineup features Regal, Matrixxman, Obscure Shape, REKA b2b Moderna, Alan Oldham b2b Ultra Instincts, and Sorcery b2b Benjamin Damage LIVE, among others.
Among the artists joining the celebration is VOID, a Seoul-based DJ, producer, and music director whose sound combines raw techno textures, driving energy, and evolving musical structures. With a background in composition and experience spanning underground clubs, international stages, and contemporary dance, VOID approaches each DJ set as a continuous narrative shaped by tension, movement, and emotion.
Ahead of his B2B performance with Shakti, VOID discusses the creative philosophy behind his sound, the influence of different artistic disciplines, and the unpredictable energy of sharing the decks.
You approach every DJ set as a story rather than a collection of tracks. What story do you want your audience to experience?
When I create the narrative of a DJ set, what matters most to me is how emotions evolve throughout the journey. Rather than imposing a particular story or emotion on the audience, I want everyone to experience and interpret the music in their own way. For some, it might bring comfort. For others, strength. And for someone else, a sense of liberation.
Whatever that experience may be, I hope the music allows people to step away from their everyday lives, even just for a moment, and find their own sense of freedom.
Your sound is raw, intense, and constantly evolving. What drives your creative process and defines the VOID sound?
I think what drives my creative process isn’t anything particularly grand or extraordinary. It’s the joy of continuously making music and gradually growing through that process.
I see music as a language. Being able to express thoughts and emotions that are difficult to put into words, and continuing to evolve through that process, is my greatest source of joy and motivation.
The three key elements that define my music today are immersion, energy, and narrative. Together, they represent the sound I strive to create as VOID.
From Seoul’s underground scene to international stages like HÖR Berlin and WOMB Tokyo, how have different crowds and cultures shaped your sound?
One of the most interesting things I’ve experienced while performing in different cities is how differently audiences connect with and respond to music.
Even with the same music, the space and the crowd can create a completely different vibe.
These experiences have made me more flexible in how I shape the flow and energy of my DJ sets, while also allowing me to see and approach music from different perspectives.
You move between techno, composition, and contemporary dance. How do these worlds influence each other, and what can we expect from your journey with us on 20 November?
I feel that working across different artistic fields influences me more in terms of emotional expression than musical techniques. When working on contemporary art projects, particularly contemporary dance, I experience a deep sense of immersion. Through long, slow-paced forms of expression, I learn patience and restraint, and experience how emotions gradually build and evolve over time.
Electronic music, on the other hand, allows me to experience a wide range of emotions, from a sense of liberation and emotional healing to powerful energy. These emotions and experiences from different artistic worlds naturally connect and influence my compositions. I’m currently working on new tracks and preparing for their release, and I hope to share them with everyone next year.
And on November 20, I’ll be playing B2B with my friend Shakti. For me, the beauty of a B2B set lies in how two artists with different musical languages come together to create an unexpected new direction. I want to share the evolving energy and emotional journey that naturally unfolds as we respond to each other’s music. We don’t know exactly what kind of story we’ll create yet, but I think those unpredictable moments are what will make this performance so exciting.
