First known for his work with Deee-Lite, Towa Tei is a producer, remixer, and DJ with boundless creativity and an unmistakable style. His group's 1990 smash hit "Groove Is in the Heart" hinted at the sampling finesse and knack for the surprising, imaginative pop he made as a solo artist and collaborator. On 1994's Future Listening!, Tei brought the bossa nova, jazz, and easy listening influences that enlivened Deee-Lite's music to the fore and reconfigured them in fresh ways; on 1997's Sound Museum, his collaborations with Kylie Minogue, Bebel Gilberto, and Biz Markie were in keeping with his playful, optimistic vision of pop music. Tei remained a fixture of Japan's dance music scene and charts with albums such as 2005's Flash and 2013's Lucky. With 2021's LP and 2023's Touch, he continued to unite generations of forward-thinking Japanese musicians.
Towa Tei has also released music as a member of Geisha Girls, Sweet Robots Against the Machine, SP 1200 Productions, Deee-Lite METAFIVE.
