Kyle Yip

Toronto

𝐁𝐢𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐲 In the blurred lines between dreams and reality, Toronto’s Kyle Yip—also known as Discrete—moves with the uncanny precision of a multi-hyphenate whose practice cuts across electronic music, film, and visual art. Internationally recognized for translating dream-derived material into physical form, he draws from clairvoyant dreams of images, sculptures, and installations, and clairaudient dreams of music, DJ sets, and audiovisual sequences, giving his output a strange internal cohesion that feels discovered as much as designed. Early momentum came through UK radio. In 2008, his remix work received @BBCRadio 1 support via @KissySellOut’s “Killer Remix of the Month.” In 2010, “To All the Killers” picked up airplay and Top 10 chart placement on Total Kiss FM, marking an early breakthrough in his recording career. That opening widened into an international release arc spanning @DefectedRecords and @Get-Physical-Music, with further visibility through @SneakTheDJ’s ANTS The Mix compilation. Along the way, his work drew support from @AlixanderIIIOfficial, @BeckettTaylor, @Crystal-Castles, @RichieHawtin, @HolyFuck, @Merc_Music, @DJMehdiOfficial, @MousseT, @Oizo-Mr-3000, Dave @Pezzner, Dave Taylor, @Tiga, @TomTrago, and @TWR72. In 2016, that run culminated in a JUNO Award nomination from the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences for Electronic Album of the Year for his debut album, The Midas Touch. Around the same period, @SavvyRecords grew beyond an imprint into a live platform through label nights and party series, including a Resident Advisor Critic’s Pick for a hedonistic queer fetish rave billed with the immortal promise of “Dungeon equipment on-site” and “Clothes check.” In 2019, his audiovisual practice hit a new register with In My Room. The video was shortlisted for Best Cinematography at the Kinsale Shark Awards alongside @Prince and @TheChemicalBrothers, then picked up a “Keepin’ It Weird” nomination at the Austin Music Video Festival. In 2020, the film continued through official selections at FEEDBACK Experimental, Dance & Music Film Festival in Toronto, @NFMLA, Toronto Lift-Off Film Festival, Blow-Up Chicago International Arthouse Film Festival, New York Indie Shorts, Cannes Indie Shorts, Mirada Corta, and the Aphelion Film Festival in Rome, where he was awarded Best Music Video in 2023. That same year, Yip launched M E + A P H Y S I C A L on @DataTransmission Radio in the UK, extending his dream-led sensibility into broadcast form and sharpening the link between his club and studio practice. In 2021, his visual work appeared in RICE Contemporary Art Magazine alongside Marina Abramović, and later that year, In My Room received a Best of NewFilmmakers Los Angeles nomination. In 2022, he presented at the International Symposium for Visual Culture at the CICA Museum in South Korea, and his work was included in Brave New World: New Media Art 2023. Yip’s wider practice moved through Venice and Shanghai: finalist status at the Arte Laguna Prize, exhibition at Marco Polo’s historic Arsenale Nord, induction into the Arte Laguna Hall of Fame, and representation of Canada at the Asia Premiere in Shanghai in 2025. Across records, mixes, films, paintings, and sculpture, Discrete treats subconscious recall as method rather than metaphor, turning dream matter into forms that land with clarity, atmosphere, and edge.
