Joel Eel is a Korean-Canadian electronic music performer, DJ, producer, label manager and artist who embodies romantic vulnerability. Previously known for his eccentric and body-motive performances: with an arsenal of punishing acid lines and vocal infused hooks. Eel has leaned towards light-hearted melodies due to the unexpected nature of the heart.

In 2020, Joel Eel was diagnosed with a heart disease called atrial fibrillation (A-fib) — known to cause rapid heart palpitations, chest pain, shortness of breath, and a heart rate of 203 bpm (faster than trance). Through the condition, he experienced a strenuous amount of suffering, leading to multiple visits to the emergency room.

“Battling my condition, I felt crippled by the disease. The experience caused a significant amount of distress to my physical and mental state. I needed to find purpose.“ While exploring various forms of healing as an attempt to manage suffering, Eel imagined a place for a reason, creating his third full-length album Love Infinity [May 12th]. Pre-order here via Bandcamp. The artwork was created by the wonderful and talented Ram Han.

Refining a body of work spanning over the past 4 years — a painstaking surgical process, he dismantles his nostalgic industrial edge, crossing over somewhere between left field dance music & celestial pop. Eel expands the journey featuring vocal collaborations from Leevisa, one of Seoul’s rising stars in underground music on the title “Love Infinity,” in addition to a deity like vocal presence from Toronto based producer and DJ Kayla Domenica on “Screen Resolution,” and a club-infused track with Berlin-based producer and sound experimentalist, Ausschuss on “Sweat.”

Love Infinity amalgamates melancholic melodies, emotional strength, the discovery of soothing textures and the desire for beautiful compositions. Finding a way to deal with suffering, the artist steps onto new vibrations. A portion of the sales will be donated to the heart and stroke foundation, more Info here.
