Bold, genre-defying, and ever-evolving, Dan Webb reshapes the rules at every turn. Since emerging with his debut EP in 2009, he’s fused styles with fearless disregard for convention — blending psychedelic atmospheres, electronic experimentation, and sharp songwriting into a vivid, shape-shifting sound entirely his own. His music is layered but direct, playful yet precise — always shifting, never predictable.

After building a loyal underground following through two early EPs, Webb broke through with his debut full-length, Sandstorm, in 2014 — described by X-Press Magazine as “a thrilling, funky journey.” The album earned international airplay on BBC Radio 6 Music, Triple J, and Double J. He followed it up in 2015 with the experimental post-punk EP Sailing, which Radio Adelaide praised as “the work of a genius” — further cementing his reputation as a fearless, boundary-pushing artist.

In 2017, he released Oedipus the King, a politically charged, genre-warping triumph that drew favourable comparisons to Berlin-era Bowie and Miles Davis at his most electric. Blending jazz, rock, folk, psychedelia, and electronic textures, the album showcased Webb’s growing range and marked a decisive leap into deeper, more experimental instrumental terrain.

More recent releases show Webb at his most daring — and most rewarding. Maximalist, melodic, and packed with moments of unexpected beauty, his latest work proves that reinvention isn’t just his strength — it’s his signature. That spirit crystallised on 2023’s Sunshine/Dialogue — a universally acclaimed album, hailed by Earmilk as “one-of-a-kind… a remarkable sonic journey,” and recognised with a nomination for Self-Producing Artist of the Year at the 2024 Music Producer & Engineers’ Guild of Australia Awards.

With more new music on the way, Dan Webb remains a rare artist: constantly evolving, yet always unmistakably himself.
