Kelly Lee Owens Announces New EP with Latest Single, "Ascend"

**Kelly Lee Owens shared that her forthcoming EP, KELLY, will arrive on November 21 and dropped a hypnotic, new single, “Ascend.”**

Welsh DJ and producer Kelly Lee Owens has cultivated a brand of minimal techno and dream pop that feels both intimate and vast. Stripping away the glossy extremes of each genre, her sound feels raw yet luminous. It’s the kind of music that is deeply spiritual and pulls you inward, lingering long after the final beat.

Kelly’s distinctive sound is where introspection dances with energy. It has brought her onstage to perform alongside The Chemical Brothers, Bicep, and Caribou, as well as a standout Boiler Room set in Manchester.

Last year, she released her highly acclaimed fourth studio album, Dreamstate, an expansive project that stands testament to her boundless creativity. Fusing lush synths, warm tones, and textural soundscapes, she channeled the avant-garde spirit of artists like Björk while fearlessly pushing boundaries into a new space of exploration. Fans have been eager for what’s next, and now, Kelly has announced her new self-titled EP, KELLY, set for release on November 21 via Dirty Hit.

A bold, high-voltage statement, KELLY expands on the success of Dreamstate, capturing the late-night energy of the dancefloor while staying firmly rooted in the pulse of techno. The project also reinforces Kelly’s dedication to supporting underrepresented artists and spaces in the community, evident in her popular Girls Love Techno merch and ongoing work with Music Venue Trust. Through these efforts, she champions independent voices and uplifts the creators behind these communities.

Alongside the new EP, Kelly has unveiled her newest single, “Ascend,” to offer a glimpse at the sonic direction of the upcoming project. Layered with hypnotic beats, warm analog textures, and airy synths, the track is perfectly engineered to give listeners a cathartic experience, almost like a spiritual lift.

This year alone, Kelly’s momentum has been unstoppable. Her headline tour across the US, UK, and Europe helped amplify the voices of emerging female DJs in the underground scene. In addition, her outstanding performances at festivals like Glastonbury, Primavera Sound, Portola, and Dour have expanded her reach and influence across the global electronic scene. With KELLY, she continues to shape her own artistic evolution and nurture the future of dance music.
