Tonalism at Bonnaroo
06.12.23
This mix is a part of a pre-recorded collection of ambient sets which will be played back at the 2023 bonnaroo music and arts festival. dublab returns to bonnaroo for our third time to present these mixes beneath the trees and stars in “The Grove” area of the festival.
Ki Oni is the pseudonym of ambient artist Chuck Soo-Hoo named after a creature in a Japanese monster movie – a tree with a human face that spews flower pedals from its mouth. Soo-Hoo similarly inhabits a surreal space between the artificial and natural worlds, a liminal zone where
the fabricated blends with the fluid and music is a river, flowing of its own accord.
Soo-Hoo splits his time between working at dublab, L.A.’s freeform radio station, and co-hosting Contact Wave, the station’s resident ambient and experimental music program. He has previously released music on Inner Islands, Atlantic Rhythms, Doom Trip, Geographic North, Never Content, A Red Thread, Umé Records, KMAN 92.5, and Pyramid Blood.
