Daisuke Tanabe

Daisuke Tanabe is an electronic musician and producer based in Tokyo, Japan. A former art student who spent some time living in London, Tanabe originally came from a techno/breakbeat background before developing the unique experimental compositions he's become known for. While still living in London, he released his 2006 debut EP, Gas, which brought him to the attention of well-known British DJs like Gilles Peterson and Pete Adarkwah. He continued to develop his unusual mix of hip-hop, electronica, jazz, and folk through various EPs and singles, all leading up to his debut album, 2010's Before I Forget. A collaboration with Britain's Kidkanevil under the name Kidsuke followed in 2012. Two years later in 2014, he released his second LP, the intricately detailed Floating Underwater.
