Ionika

Edward Cai, better known as IONIKA, is a music producer based in Los Angeles. IONIKA began producing music in his early pre-teen years in New Jersey, influenced by the styles of Skrillex, Monstercat, and ILLENIUM. In late 2014, he went on to release his first EP, titled The Meltdown, a bass-heavy, synth driven collection of his early works. Throughout high school and college, IONIKA took a break from the EDM scene to hone his production skills in other genres such as hip-hop/rap, pop, and K-pop where he has garnered over 2.3M+ views on his YouTube channel. In 2023, IONIKA made his return back to the EDM scene, pumping out mashups / edits & remixes on his SoundCloud that have gained over 820K+ plays. Later that year, IONIKA released a collab with fellow producer OK JAYE! titled VROOM, which kickstarted the duo project titled JAYONIKA, opening for melodic dubstep producer, Hoang in Sacramento. More recently in 2026 - IONIKA has made his Electrik Seoul debut opening for Johnny Chay and has also sold out 2 headline shows in his home state & the very first JAYONIKA headline show at The Foundry in San Francisco. Now pulling production inspiration from the underground's very own ISOxo, Knock2, Playboi Carti & 2hollis, IONIKA has returned to the bass scene armed with remixes that have been supported by Jessica Audiffred, JEANIE, beebo & Ailow as well as working on a highly anticipated original solo project - blending the underground sound with his origins in bass music.
