Dokaka is a Japanese beatboxer who performs music solely by multitracking his own voice, generally with one instrument per track. (That is, he records himself mimicking the bass part to a song, then records himself mimicking the drum part in sync with the first recording, and so on.)

He has distributed his recordings primarily as free downloads from his website; these include interpretations of works by King Crimson, Led Zeppelin, Wes Montgomery, Slayer, the Rolling Stones, and Miles Davis, among many others. He largely records covers of heavy metal, prog, jazz and videogame theme music, though he has also written and recorded original songs. Dokaka also appears on Björk's Medúlla (2004) and Katamari wa Damacy, the soundtrack to the video game We Love Katamari (2005).

On May 23, 2006, the artist's website, dokaka.com, was hacked and vandalized by a criminal hacking group claiming to be from Turkey. The website is now back up, with details of his forthcoming album entitled 'Human Interface'.

Dokaka performed a rare concert with other vocal artists at Atlantic Waves music festival on the 30th of November 2006, in Union Chapel, Islington London.

  • superb!

  • how is this possible ? xD

    well, he uses loop machines. but have you imagined the way he has to do things so they come up like this ? it's so hard to have this tempo, and combine all the sounds. very well done
