Takaaaki

Takaaaki (Ueda Takaaki) was influenced by hardcore music. At 20, he went to New York where he discovered electronic music; he began making music in 2005, while wandering through the UK, Germany, and the Czech Republic, where he experienced club music. In 2006 he started performing live, particularly at Noon in Osaka, as a member of Depth. His heavy, hypnotic, eccentric sounds have had a massive impact on the Japanese dubstep scene.
