  PROFILE

  D.A.N. were formed in the summer of 2014 in Tokyo. Their unique and thoroughly modern sound, sitting somewhere between the minimal alt-pop of The xx and the live dance music dynamic of Caribou has won them fans throughout their home country, and an offer to appear at the prestigious Fuji Rock Festival in 2016 & 2018 has been swiftly followed by the band opening for international artists including The xx and James Blake and Floating Points in Japan. The band’s self-organized event, “Timeless”, has seen them invite and play alongside acts such as Mndsgn (LA) and Jamie Isaac (UK) in Tokyo, whilst in late 2017 D.A.N. took off to London, where they spent some time recording with Floating Points at his personal studio, appeared on Giles Peterson’s Worldwide Radio and performed at the legendary Hackney hipster haunt The Shacklewell Arms. In May 2018, they appeared at The Great Escape in Brighton, UK, winning enthusiastic new fans from around the world. The band’s latest full length album “Sonatine” was released in July 2018, followed by an Asian tour through China, Taiwan, Bangkok and an appearance at Hong Kong “Clockenflap” festival. With influences ranging from underground house and techno through to psychedelic and African music, the three piece are equally at home in the club as they are on a festival stage, and are being widely touted as the most exciting prospect to emerge from the Tokyo scene in many years.
