This 16-page editorial features our exclusive conversation with recording artist Kelly Lee Owens.
Weaving ethereal soundscapes with techno beats, rooted in a lifelong quest for connection, Kelly shared with us the organic trajectory of her career—from auxiliary nursing in Wales to DJing for thousands on global stages like Glastonbury, and opening for Depeche Mode. Her journey is a testament to curiosity, shaped by years spent working in record stores and immersing herself in the industry before forging her own path.
Owens' latest album, Dreamstate, marks a pivotal moment, merging her signature dream-like vocals with layered synths and live techno elements. Now under DH2 Records (the new techno imprint from George Daniel from The 1975), Kelly walked us through the collaborative approach to the album, working with icons like The Chemical Brothers and Bicep.
Kelly's fourth studio album, Dreamstate is available now on ww.dh2.co, as she gears up to be on tour in the UK and Europe throughout March 2025.
