Joey Sachi Debuts Much-Anticipated EP 'Rise'
JOEY SACHI's arrival in 2021 brought a bright new player to Australia's ever diversifying, exciting electronic/dance music space. Tokyo-based, the Sydney-raised producer and songwriter and artist brought audiences a palette of sounds and influences that hinted at an emotional, textured broader body of work. Today, we finally hear the first EP collection from JOEY SACHI – her debut project, RISE.
The record has been teased with the release of singles 'grace' and '7 Seconds', tracks that have shown JOEY SACHI's continued evolution as a songwriter, as well as her dedicated nature when it comes to exploring new sounds and ideas with close collaborator, producer AKINAT.
Further on the RISE EP, we get to hear how the threads of electronic and pop sounds weave together with finesse. With moments of nuance on 'circuits' and 'back to square one' adding to the tapestry of cinematic work JOEY SACHI has been creating since her first drop 'If I Ask' during her breakthrough year, it's evident that RISE is a beautiful moment of arrival from an artist whose potential keeps on impressing.
"The entire EP was written, recorded, and produced in Tokyo. During the first half of 2025, I found myself on a real creative roll. Each track started to feel connected to the next. When AKINAT started to work on the EP, we quickly realised that as two perfectionists - taking a song all the way to release doesn't always come naturally. As the saying goes, "perfect is the enemy of good." I found a deep sense of creative freedom in pushing back against the constant urge to overthink." JOEY SACHI
Since emerging with 'If I Ask' back in 2021, Sachi has continued to build her fanbase at home and abroad, with radio support from the likes of 4ZZZ, 2SER and 2RRR; praise from tastemakers such as Happy Mag, MILKY, Backseat Mafia & AAA Backstage and editorial playlist support from both Spotify and Apple Music. Sachi has also worked with some esteemed artists along the way, including UK producer Affelaye, who worked with Joey on her 2024 single 'Reverie'.
