Tuanfluence

From Tomorrowland to ADE, Ultra, and Electric Forest... Tuan hasn't played at any of them. But every dream has to start somewhere. Producing music is his full-time pursuit, and he also enjoys DJing for friends. He still has dreams of playing those stages. Tuan concentrates on producing melodic house and melodic techno, while DJing a range of genres and appreciating them all. His songs combine elements from different genres, guided only by whether the music he creates makes him want to dance. He is grateful for support from artists including MKLA, Artche, Black Box, Yannick Mueller, Terry Golden, and Super Flu. Before music, he was editor in chief of Maximum PC Magazine and PC Gamer. Tuan grew up playing Super Mario Bros. on the original Nintendo Entertainment System, and making music in Ableton feels to him like running through a particularly complex Mario level, with plenty of Goombas to stomp. Eating mushrooms helps, though. Originally from Toronto, Tuan is now based in San Francisco. He has been producing music only since November 2025. Before that, he was still trying to find his way. He gives deep thanks to Randy Seidman for being the sweetest motivation, Ethan C. Davis for being the teacher he wishes he’d had when he was younger, and the Karkera family for what he can only describe as love.
