Co-founder of Huru-Hara, a collective dedicated to amplifying leftfield bass, dub, breaks and
IDM across Southeast Asia, Traction Control is the alias of DJ and producer A. Danial Iman
based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. His percussive, bass-heavy sound sits at the intersection of
dubstep, tribal rhythms and techno, shaped by hypnotic textures and heavy sub pressure.
His music has reached international airwaves through mixes on Rinse FM, Subtle Radio and
Nomad Radio, while also sharing stages locally and internationally with artists such as Laksa,
Elbarto, Burna, Hally, Dubrunner and Holloway, to name a few. In 2025, he debuted with the EP
Mirkwood on Malaysian label Sir Dub Muzik, followed by his self-released project Split Signal,
both gaining strong international support and laying the groundwork for forthcoming releases on
Hz Records and Taipan Trax this year.
Outside of music, Danial also works as a visual artist and graphic designer, creating identities
for collectives and parties across Malaysia and Australia including Flip The Lid, Primal Rhythm
and Vertigo Perth, extending his visual language into the same underground spaces that shape
his sound.
