	Ryukyu Underground is Keith Gordon and Jon Taylor. The two met in Okinawa Japan in the fall of 1998, both shared an interest in Okinawan music, contemporary dance music and an occasional night on the town. Strangely, on their first meeting both told each other of a vision they each had individually had, to create a musical project which incorporated elements of the Okinawan sound into contemporary electronic and dance music.

Ryukyu Underground is the result: a combination of traditional melodies and textures of Okinawan music mixed with elements of ambient, drum'n'bass, hip-hop, jungle, dub, and electronica. The result is a musical champuru - the Okinawan word for mixture, so important in the culture and society of contemporary Okinawa - but a champuru with a decidedly modern sound and a club sensibility. They signed to Tokyo based Respect Records and released their debut CD in the Spring of 2002.

In the following years they have released 3 more studio albums and a remix album with remixes of their tracks by such artists as Karsh Kale, Junkie XL, Da Lata and Kid Loco. They also contributed a track to the ‘Rough Guide to Okinawa” compilation CD released through World Music Network and have appeared on three Buddha Bar compilations They have remixed tracks for Miyazawa, Karsh Kale, Yuri Chika and Uru amongst others, . They have also composed music for a series of educational DVDs. 

DIGITAL SOUL /Dragomir Taskov/ is born in Sofia, Bulgaria. His inner bond with music began at early age, while playing the piano and later on passed to violonchello.
By the age of 14 he has made a young musican carreer, participant in numerous competitions and festivals throughout Bulgaria and Europe. Few years later, in 1998, he sets the instrumental carreer aside for the benefit of the electronic music and experimentation on sound. Inspiration drawn by genres like drum&bass, jungle, hip-hop, jazz, rave, dub, idm, ambient, breakbeat and more turned out to be a 'suitable soil' for another producers foreground.
