A dedicated advocate for decolonizing electronic music, Victoria Yam’s work with the Goethe-Institut's Nusasonic initiative reflects her deep engagement with Southeast Asian musical traditions. Through cross-cultural collaborations, she integrates these influences into modern electronic forms, challenging conventional narratives within the region’s music scene.

Yam has established herself as a prominent performer across Southeast Asia, collaborating with experimental artists such as Indonesia’s Gabber Modus Operandi & Raja Kirik and Vietnam’s Rắn Cạp Đuôi. Her influence within the region’s electronic music landscape is further solidified through her work with labels like Yes No Wave and POSTWORLD, as well as her reimagining of UK experimental pioneer Matthew Herbert's Stonework album. Her releases, including projects under the moniker rEmPiT g0dDe$$, explore the intricate layers of Southeast Asian tunings and electronic dance music, with her album PRIME ENERGY standing as a testament to her versatility and depth.

Yam is the music editor for the independent Magazine For Young Girls, which highlights female talents from Asia and diaspora communities, as well as the host of a bi-monthly radio show featuring Asian female musical artists from around the world. In 2023, she received the prestigious Oram Award, recognizing her exceptional contributions to sound, music, and technology, particularly for women and gender non-conforming artists pushing the boundaries of musical creativity. Her thought leadership in the field has also earned her a place on panels alongside influential figures in the underground electronic music world, where she continues to shape discourse on contemporary music in the Southeast Asian context.
