Heavily influenced by Electronic Music and Hip Hop, Dan Tanda, a UK-born, British-Japanese music producer and videographer, relocated to Japan in 2013 where he discovered 70's & 80's Japanese Funk and Pop.
His acclaimed mashup album "MF DOOM X Tatsuro Yamashita" brought together the unlikely pairing of the late Daniel Dumile's super villain and Japanese Funk Pop legend, Tatsuro Yamashita. The 6 -track bootleg soon became an online underground hit being compared to similar works such as "The Grey Album" and "Sadevillian". Still growing in popularity, the bootleg is on Youtube and has passed 1 million views.
With travel canceled and the world coming to a screeching halt in 2020, Tanda reconnected and collaborated with longtime musical friend, Dave Wademan, to form the electronic music duo DTDW. Dave (living in the UK) and Tanda (living in Japan) had weekly online production sessions through video calls. They released 3 singles in 2021 as well as their debut 4-track E.P. "No.4" in early 2022.
In 2022, Tanda continues to explore his own personal sound in Electronic Music, and the culmination of all his musical influences, past and present can be heard in his first self-released singles "Sleepless" and "Images"
