Alex Peverett and Chris Gladwin are Team Doyobi. Their sound has been influenced by various forms of electronic dance music (e.g. techno, electro, acid house, italo-disco, glitch, 8bit), as well as progressive rock, krautrock, noise, free jazz, and electro-acoustic and ambient music.

Gladwin and Peverett met while attending school in the Linconshire Wolds, a culturally remote area on the east coast of England, and immediately began their creative partnership. Originally working together to produce analogue video art, their first joint expeditions into computer music began by producing their own soundtracks to these video pieces. Having grown up during the home computer boom of the 1980s they didnt have to look far to begin utilizing cheap and accessible technology. Using Commodore Amiga home computers running public domain software they began making collages of beats and melodies with 8-bit samplers. After producing several home made cassette releases under the name “Doyobi”, (picked at random out of a Japanese phrase book) they shifted their focus to performing live. Following a record studio launch party in the UK’s “techno city” Sheffield, their live show caught the attention of Brighton’s Fat-Cat records who quickly released the newly titled “Team” Doyobi’s first record as a split 12” with Req (WARP) in 1999. One of their early cassette releases had also found its way to Manchester’s Skam records who were keen to add them to their growing roster, alongside acts such as Boards of Canada, Bola, Gescom and Jega.
