Danny Bosten, known professionally as Das Ding, is a pioneering figure in the Dutch minimal wave scene. In the early 1980s, he founded the cassette label Tear Apart Tapes, releasing his own music and that of his peers. His sound blends dark electro with danceable rhythms, drawing inspiration from artists like Fad Gadget, Kraftwerk, and New Order. After a period of obscurity, Bosten's work was rediscovered in 2010, leading to reissues and renewed performances. His recent album, "Selected Archival Recordings 1979-1985," showcases his enduring influence on electronic music. ([ra.co](https://ra.co/dj/dasding/biography?utm_source=openai))
