Dis Fig (Felicia Chen) is a a producer, vocalist, performer, and DJ, who creates cinematic sonic expressions with weighty emotional intensity. As an artist who has long resisted simple categorization, she cut her teeth operating in New York City's scrappy DIY and experimental club scenes, channeling a passion for pop music, metal, rap, and global dance forms into unpredictable multi-layered DJ sets that harmonized with the US East Coast's relentless noise. When she released her debut album PURGE on the PTP imprint in 2019 it substantiated her artistic voice, refining her vast pool of influences into a cathartic distillate that oozes between vulnerable beauty and retching chaos.
"This ain’t just your run-of-the-mill wall of power electronics and angry screams," wrote The Quietus.
As a DJ she's become notorious for her curiosity and restless energy, but as a live performer she edges away from the club completely, using her acrobatic voice and entire body to transmit emotional complexity that's deeper than language.
