Ciel

**Ciel** is the electrifying alias of Canadian producer, DJ, and vocalist Cindy Li, a Toronto-based artist who’s become a standout in the global electronic underground. Known for her genre-blurring sound that stitches together breakbeat, electro, and dreamy house with a DIY ethos, Ciel crafts immersive tracks that feel both nostalgic and forward-thinking. With releases on labels like Parallel Minds and her own imprint, Parallel Minds LTD, she’s built a reputation for intricate rhythms, lush textures, and collaborations with artists like India Jordan and CCL. Beyond the studio, she’s a sought-after DJ, delivering sets that range from euphoric dancefloor heaters to introspective, leftfield grooves at festivals like Sustain-Release and clubs worldwide.

Her recent output—including the aquatic synthscapes of *Aqua Hotel EP*, the playful bounce of *Wonk Donk*, and the hypnotic *Halls of Voices*—showcases her knack for balancing experimentation with dancefloor magnetism. Whether remixing peers (see the celestial *Vokal Fry* rework) or channeling surreal storytelling in tracks like *Tilda's Goat Stare*, Ciel’s work feels like a vivid, ever-evolving daydream set to a four-to-the-floor pulse.
