Fat Hamster & KANG New

Fat Hamster & KANG New

Synth waves rooted in rock music form the foundation of Fat Hamster’s sound. A former frontman of an alternative rock band, Fat Hamster studied classical and contemporary composition at university but ultimately turned his focus to electronic music.

He blends his musical expertise with mathematical formulas, creating a unique sonic experience. KANG New, also immersed in the world of electronic music, places a stronger emphasis on vocals and songwriting rather than production. Like Fat Hamster, she hails from Seoul and has a background in rock music, but her artistic journey was further enriched by her time in Tokyo, where she performed in bars and drew inspiration from Japanese culture.

Together, they founded the independent label LetzRatz, through which they release their music. In addition to performing at traditional venues and music festivals, they’re passionate about participating in events with meaningful social impact, such as the International Environmental Film Festival and Seoul’s Queer Culture Festival. Their music has earned them recognition from both fans and fellow artists, with The Korea Times including them in their roundup of the top ten Korean indie acts to watch. While we can’t say who the other nine are, we know this duo is one you won’t want to miss. We’re counting down the days until their performance at this year’s festival!
