Li Yilei is a genre-defying artist whose work encompasses a variety of disciplines including sound, performance, and visual arts. With a daring approach to creation, Li Yilei's sonic identity is marked by a propensity for experimentation with textures and forms, blending ambient, minimalist, and avant-garde elements. Born in China and based in London, Li Yilei's cultural duality plays a significant role in shaping a unique aesthetic that stirs an ethereal and contemplative auditory experience for listeners.

In recent years, Li Yilei has emerged on the avant-garde music scene with an array of thought-provoking releases. The 2020 album "Unabled Form" showcased an intriguing blend of abstract soundscapes and ambient noise, cementing Li's position as a rising innovator in the experimental music sphere. Following this, "0:00" offered a conceptually driven journey through silence and sound, marking the infinite potential of "zero" as a starting point. With subsequent releases like "Secondary Self" and "之 / OF," Li continued to explore the boundaries of music and art, causing reverberations across both fields. The "Steps (Li Yilei Remix)" highlights Li's skill in transforming existing materials into a new auditory experience, while "CHU / 處" further unfolds the artist's layered world where tradition and avant-garde sound artistry conflate. Through these works, Li Yilei has crafted a distinctive sonic narrative that captivates audiences and critics alike.
