Tsuruda

A leader in the Los Angeles bass scene, producer/DJ Tsuruda is a classically trained musician who commands a distinctive sound that blends elements of experimental hip-hop with avant-garde electronics. First debuting in 2014, Tsuruda has captivated wide-eyed audiences with his dynamic sound and hypnotizing live sets, which have taken him to marquee festivals like Shambhala Music Festival and EDC Las Vegas, in addition to his own solo tours throughout North America and beyond. His expansive discography—which comprises six full-length projects, two compilations, the breakout FUBAR EP, and numerous releases on tastemaker labels like Team Supreme, Darker Than Wax, 1985 Music (Alix Perez) and Division Recordings (Noisia)—is one of the most impressive bodies of work in independent electronic music. Tsuruda today stands at the upper echelon of bass music culture as an in-demand producer and internationally touring act.
