Sometimes I do music n stuffz.

Beau Damion is a producer and creative technologist who builds music the way most people build memories: layered, emotive, and always in motion. Classically trained but shaped by the electronic underground, Beau started releasing music in the mid-2000s and developed a reputation for blending genres and rethinking how electronic performance could work.

For years he toured, performing with custom software, real-time visuals, and controllers he programmed, creating shows that sat somewhere between DJ set and live improvisation. His label Xpel Muzik became a home for boundary-pushing artists across house and progressive styles, and his own work has appeared on labels from the US, UK, and beyond.

Today Beau creates primarily under his Japan-based @projectdai (ダイ), a space built for experimentation with genre, software, and new audio workflows. The project acts as a creative playground, shifting between Vocaloid, Synthesizer V, and Beau’s own production techniques.

Beau’s work continues to evolve, but the through-line remains the same: curiosity, emotion, and a drive to create something honest.

OFFICIAL BIO
Regarded upon his 2006 arrival as a promising beatmaker looming in the shadows of J Dilla, Madlib, waterfalls and Dabrye, Steven Ellison -- known as Flying Lotus -- nullified all comparisons only two years later with Los Angeles. On that album, his first of five for the Warp label, Ellison distilled a uniquely crisp, spasmodic, and heady sound with elements of hip-hop, avant-garde jazz, IDM, and dubstep. While the abovementioned producers fueled Ellison, he had also been excited as a youngster by the '90s West Coast rap classics that combined programming and live instrumentation. His sound continued to develop as he put his own twist on the approach, recording with a crop of jazz musicians including the indispensable likes of bassist Thundercat and strings master Miguel Atwood-Ferguson. This process began with the turbulent 2010 set Cosmogramma and peaked in terms of acclaim in 2014 with You're Dead!, which crashed the Top 20 of the Billboard 200 and spawned the Kendrick Lamar collaboration "Never Catch Me," a Grammy nominee for Best Dance Recording. Ellison devoted a few years to various forms of film work and the operation of his revered Brainfeeder label, and returned in 2019 with Flamagra, his second consecutive album to top Billboard's Dance/Electronic chart.
