Doltz (JPN)

Doltz is a Japanese sound artist, photographer, and DJ whose hypnotic techno pulses with the raw energy of nature and the precision of minimalist rhythm. Emerging from the underground as a drummer in a hardcore punk band in 1998, his musical path has evolved into a deep exploration of sonic texture and atmosphere.

Fusing field recordings with immersive, driving beats, Doltz crafts soundscapes that blur the line between the organic and the industrial. His work draws from the quiet poetry of the natural world and the intensity of Japan’s experimental techno scene.

A key figure in this evolving landscape, Doltz released his Inception EP on DJ Nobu’s influential Bitta label, further solidifying his reputation for creating music that is both meditative and visceral. Through his multifaceted practice—whether behind the decks, the lens, or the mixing board—Doltz continues to shape a distinct and evolving narrative in contemporary electronic music.
