"Seoul-based producer Guinneissik was one of many across the world who submitted an interpretation: "London Hammer," a noisy techno belter with screamo vocals, later included on the resulting Machinedrum-curated compilation. But 2024 was already shaping up to be Guinneissik's breakout year, with his slow-building trance single "Farewell Two Shell" nominated for Best Electronic Song at the Korean Music Awards. Daniel's infamous tweet might have sparked Guinneissik's entry into an international story,"
"Learning the ropes of Ableton from Korean electro-house pioneer KIRARA, Guinneissik (real name Han Seok-woo) has been a prolific synth scientist since his 2020 self-released debut. 2021's attempted to incorporate his classical composition training into a four-part techno symphony that showed off both twelve-tone chromaticism and breakbeat alchemy. Since 2024, Guinneissik has been intensifying his sound via Seoul's punk-inflected indie rock and club scenes, joining shoegaze band FOG for their second record and releasing mind-bending edits under his DJ Alaska Chicken alias."

He attempted a four-part techno symphony in 2021 that integrated classical composition training, twelve-tone chromaticism, and breakbeat alchemy. He intensified his sound from 2024 through Seoul's punk-inflected indie rock and club scenes, joined shoegaze band FOG for their second record, and released edits as DJ Alaska Chicken. His slow-building trance single 'Farewell Two Shell' was nominated for Best Electronic Song at the Korean Music Awards. His debut GIRL I LOVE YOU blends trance, singeli, reggaeton, hard drums, and maximalist production techniques.
