Hsin-Lei Chao, better known as RayRay, works as a resident DJ at a couple of the biggest clubs in Taipei, Taiwan. She’s competed in DJ tournaments in Asia and Canada, having won the Red Bull Thre3style national championship in Taiwan in 2013; she’s recorded with Skrillex, ghostwritten pop songs for Taiwanese pop stars Kimberley Chen and JPM and contributed a song to the soundtrack for the hit 2013 Chinese film _Tiny Times 2_. Chao grew up on hip-hop – in college she founded a club dedicated to it – and now she’s infusing her own grime- and trap-inspired dance productions with soulful grooves and jazzy harmonics, à la her heroes J Dilla and A Tribe Called Quest. In the studio, she conjures up trippy hip-hop and future bass bangers with a Technicolor touch.
