Sulumi, whose real name is Sun Dawei, is a prominent figure in China's electronic music scene, widely recognized for his innovative contributions to chipmusic, or chiptune, which is a genre that primarily uses sound chips from vintage computers, video game consoles, and arcade machines. Born in Shenyang, he moved to Beijing in the early 2000s where he became a key player in the underground music scene, championing the avant-garde amidst an environment that often champions tradition.

Sulumi has garnered attention for his dynamic blend of electronic sounds that effortlessly combine the nostalgic tones of 8-bit music with modern electronic music styles, often infusing them with a thoughtful experimental edge. Over the years, his discography has expanded to include a variety of singles and EPs that showcase his artistic evolution and mastery over the genre. His most recent releases, such as "Thought Broadcasting" and "Unconsciousness," illustrate a maturation of his sound, delving into more abstract and contemplative terrains, while tracks like "Too Late to Die Young" and its Janski Beeeats Remix highlight his ability to intersect the realms of chipmusic with broader electronic and dance music cultures. Sulumi continues to push boundaries and captivate listeners, not only in China but across the global electronic music community, with his inventive and genre-defying compositions.
