NET GALA
As one of the driving forces who spearhead the underground club scene of the city of Seoul, NET. GALA distort the conventional language of electronic music. Pulsating drum patterns and mercurial sonic elements amalgamate inside the South Korean producer’s body of work, raising questions about identity, queer culture, body politics, and many more.
Starting off as a member of the local LGBTQ collective Shade Seoul, NET GALA have honed their frenzied sounds through various events and collaborations. After releasing their audacious first EP [re:FLEX*ion] in 2019 via NBDKNW, NET GALA expanded his own vision of melodramatic emotion in SVBKVLT-released [신파 SHINPA], the second EP in 2021. The latter took inspiration from Shinpageuk (신파극), a form of theatre from 20th century Korea.
NET GALA's distinctive perspective of electronic music has most notably attracted Louis Vuitton, where NET GALA is featured on their 2021 F/W online runway featuring BTS, and their 2023 campaign film. Their 2nd EP, [신파 SHINPA] was met with acclaim, being named Bandcamp's Best Club release of 2021, and garnering them another Korean Music Award nomination, after grabbing 3 nominations for [re:FLEX*ion].
NET GALA’s idiosyncratic graft of underground dance music and blatantly warped pop not only shines in their recordings but also in various DJ mixes and shows, such as Apple Music Pride 2023 Mix and The Tiger Den party at SXSW 2023. Such accumulated efforts are chaotically yet gorgeously presented in their first full-length, [GALAPAGGOT], released in October 2024. [GALAPAGGOT] has received acclaim from critics and listeners, and from this album NET GALA received a Korean Music Award for Best Electronic Album in 2025.
NET GALA is currently (as of spring of 2025) working on a new mixtape, as well as a joint project album with Rắn Cạp Đuôi’s Zach Sch.
