Biography

Los Angeles based producer Tsuruda is a classically trained musician who blends experimental hip-hop with avant-garde electronics. Today, he stands in the upper echelon of bass music culture including the beat scene and sound design with one of the most impressive bodies of work in independent electronic music.
 
Tsuruda has self-released four full-length projects — ‘drumsand,’ ‘madness,’ ‘rawflavor’ and ‘RIP’ — in addition to his compilation series, ‘Internet Slaps.' His discography includes singles and EPs on labels like Team Supreme, Darker Than Wax, Deadbeats and 1985 Music, three full albums, plus remixes for Noisia, The Glitch Mob and more.
 
In June '17, Tsuruda released ‘Move,’ his debut artist album, on Noisia’s VISION Recordings. He followed up with ‘Unlimited Data’ (Oct '18), his second artist album, released on Courteous Family, the Los Angeles collective he co-founded in 2014. His independently released ‘FUBAR’ EP (Oct '19), distributed by Alpha Pup, includes standout singles “Dragon of the Darkness Flame” and “Kimchi Crisis,” followed by yet another distinguished full length album, ‘Siege’ (Jan ‘21). In early 2023, Tsuruda released the four-track 'Deathwish' EP via Deadbeats, hinting at numerous forthcoming releases over the course of this year.
 
An in-demand live act, Tsuruda is known for his mind-bending sets. With 2023 bringing about sequential headline festival plays and live shows, it is safe to assume Tsuruda will only continue his rise - pull up.

Artist Affinity estimates how strongly an artist's audience overlaps with interest in specific brands, products, and categories. It is derived from aggregated social and behavioral signals—who fans follow, save, click, and engage with—normalized across platforms. Higher affinity suggests better partnership fit and higher likelihood that fans will respond positively to branded content or offers. Use it to shortlist natural brand partners and product concepts that feel authentic to the audience. Combine affinity with Connection Strength (ER) and reach to balance fit with impact. Treat affinity as directional—validate with creative tests and small pilots before scaling.

ER = (likes + comments + shares) ÷ audience per post ≥ 3.0% = Very Strong 2.0–2.99% = Strong 1.0–1.99% = Moderate < 1.0% = Low

How to read it: Pair ER with reach (views/followers) to gauge intensity and scale.
