Towa Tei is a Japanese-born, South Korean (Korean name: Donghwa Jung) DJ, who first earned notice for his production work on the Jungle Brothers’ 1989 LP Done by the Forces of Nature.

In 2005, Towa Tei released a new album dubbed Flash and a new single with Kylie Minogue, “Sometime Samurai”, which reached number six in Japan.

His best-known work in the West was as part of the post-80’s NY house music trio, Deee-Lite.



After the break-up of Deee-Lite in the late 90’s, Towa Tei returned to Tokyo to join the burgeoning “Shibuya-kei Scene” with the likes of Pizzicato Five and Fantastic Plastic Machine.
