“If Dan Deacon comes your way, go. If you’re the type of person afraid of being called on or afraid of being a participant, go anyway! It will change your life forever. Oh, and the music is insanely good. It was the best party I’ve ever witnessed, with the best music ever.” – NPR
Dan Deacon hits Chinese streets this December, courtesy of your friends at Split Works. Dan Deacon, the man, the legend, comes to us celebrated for his wild and insanely fun performances, He brings the energy and genius of his genre-bending electronica for a multi-city tour de China. This winter, take a pause from the frigidity of the elements and dance till you wish you hadn’t worn those toasty warm thermals.
Hailing from Baltimore, Dan Deacon is now legendary in grassroots electronic circles. What started as a one-man-danceathon at house parties and small clubs in 2003 has stretched beyond traditional dance music by including numerous other atypical electronica instrumentation: the piano, real drums, glockenspiel amongst others. He brings an intellectual quality to dance music that is refreshing in the era of big beat EDMz.
Proving both his left and right brain are alive and kicking, Dan Deacon has collaborated with a number of great artists along the way including Chester Gwazda and Kate Levitt, plus a debut at Carnegie Hall alongside So Percussion and Matmos. Suddenly, he had grown from a one-man band to being accompanied by a 27-member percussion ensemble. In 2011, Dan also composed the musical score for Francis Ford Coppola’s film, Twixt.
Although he was kept busy as the contemporary classical scene’s newest darling, Deacon managed to squeeze in a full album release, “America” in August 2012. America was recorded using both electric sounds and live recordings and the critics – as well as the public – loved it.
Come have some winter fun with Split Works as we bring Dan Deacon to a city near you!

“如果有一天Dan Deacon来你这儿来演出，去看吧。如果你觉得害羞，还是去吧！他会为你的生活增添一抹亮色的。嗯哼.. 音乐出奇地好，这是我见过的最棒的派对，和最棒的音乐。” —— NPR
Dan Deacon是一位才华横溢且脑袋里装满各种奇思妙想的的作曲家和电子音乐人，并以疯狂有趣的现场表演令人印象深刻。迄今为止他发表的每张专辑都被业界大咖全面喊赞，尤其是二专《Bromst》更是获得Pitchfork的高度肯定（8.5/10）。12月，Deacon将带着充满想象和活力的电子舞曲音乐来到中国，进行四城巡演。寒冬年末，让我们脱掉厚重的外套，抛开烦恼和愁思，随着欢快的音乐尽情舞动吧。
来自巴尔的摩的Dan Deacon是电子音乐圈中的一个传奇。2003年起，他就涉足各种派对和俱乐部的个人演出，最终在美国东岸的独立乐圈内崭露头角。尤其在舞曲方面，Dan表现出极高的音乐天赋和才华。钢琴、真鼓、钟琴等各种非典型的电子乐器，都被运用到他的作品之中，超越了传统意义上“无需动脑”的舞曲理念。
2007年Dan Deacon的首张全长专辑《Spiderman of the Rings》就一鸣惊人，这是一张玩味十足，充满童趣的电子乐。而二专《Bromst》让他一下子成为圈内炙手可热的新贵，并荣获Pitchfork的高分推荐。与上张精灵古怪的纯器乐唱片不同，这张带着迷幻摇滚的气息。2012年 Deacon 再次启动创意引擎，推出全新概念式专辑《America》，在灌制过程中同时采用电子音效和现场录音。而对于这部力作的评价——无论是业界还是大众，都是一个字，赞！
在不太起眼的宅男外表下，Dan Deacon骨子里蕴藏着惊人的创新思维和音乐才华。除了擅长捣弄各种乐器，喜爱现场表演的他，还会唱，会跟着跳舞，偶尔的奇装异服，加上胖胖的身材，让我们对这位怪蜀黍的现场演出充满好奇和期待。真的会如NPR所说，这场演出会为你的生活增添色彩？那就亲自来现场体验一下吧！
