ELEMENT, a DJ, producer, and co-owner of the Riddim Chango imprint, was born in Kyoto, Japan, and later relocated to London.

During his 9- year stint in the UK, he immersed himself in UK’s soundsystem culture, music scene, DJing, worked as a Reggae buyer at a second-hand record shop, and launched his label Riddim Chango. His sound, a unique blend of Dub, Roots, and Dancehall, resonates distinctively within the music scene. Notable collaborations include the critically-acclaimed "Freedom" with Jamaican poet Nazamba, a potent exploration of black oppression, and the boundary-pushing Andromeda EP with the LA/JA dancehall collective, Duppy Gun. He released his 12” Particular Angle on Tokyo's experimental label, newdubhall, in June 2023 and awarded No. 5 on UK music magazine Wire's Best Albums of the Year in Dub & Reggae 2023. Expanding his sonic explorations, he launched Parallel Line, a Riddim Chango offshoot focused on Dub’s more experimental side. The label debuted with his own four-track EP, featuring Jamaican MC I Jahbar, pushing Dub into unconventional, leftfield territory. In 2024, Element linked up with French electronic producer Krikor for Kitakagaya Dub, a two-track 7” on Manchester’s evolving Youth label— melding stripped-back futurism with heavyweight dub mechanics. In 2025, two releases are lined up on respected London imprints. First is MAL Recordings, a label known for pushing forward-thinking club sounds with experimental dubby edge. Following that, a release on DIY Recordings, Both projects are set for October, highlighting different sides of Element's production. His live-sets expand on a traditional dub mixing approach, working with a 16-channel mixer and a chain of hardware effects to create a constantly shifting sound environment. Layers of improvised synth lines and live looping blur the line between structure and spontaneity. It’s a performance mode collapsing borders between composition and improvisation with Dubwise style.
