Computer Data is a maestro of the lo-fi house sound with a penchant for deep pads and sonic textures that have a way of making you feel nostalgic for something you’ve never known. His tracks have amassed millions of plays across Youtube and Soundcloud and his success has even followed him into DJing, where he’s appeared on line-ups with the likes of DJ Seinfield, Baltra, Chaos in the CBD, Purple Disco Machine, and more. His most recent releases include three EPs out on London based label Shall Not Fade and its sub-label Lost Palms. In these EPs we hear a new sound from Computer Data, one that moves away from internet Lo-FI and towards left-field club anthems.
