Profile

Daisuke Akitsu, better known as Dirty Androids, is a nu disco producer from Yokohama, Japan who made his BEMANI debut in 2009 on beatmania IIDX 17 SIRIUS.

Daisuke has his own record label, D/A Recordings, where he releases his works. He's a regular in Diverse System and S2TB Recording releases as well.

More western oriented than other artists, he's always on the edge of musical trends. Producing newer styles such as nu disco, future bass, but also dabbling into house and drum'n'bass has made him quite popular overseas as well.

Very little is known about Daisuke's personal life, as he has kept himself out of the limelight with no known public photos or appearances. He has yet to perform any live shows of his music, even declining to appear alongside kors k at one of his many live performances, despite having made several collaborations with him on his DA Recording releases.
