Daniel James Howland, known as SVDDEN DEATH, is a dubstep and riddim producer originally from San Jose, California, and currently based in Los Angeles. He built his reputation on aggressive sound design and a dark, metal-influenced aesthetic, which he frequently explores through his theatrical, horror-themed VOYD alias. His discography includes the breakout 2019 collaboration "Sell Out" with Marshmello on Joytime Collective, as well as his self-released 2018 project "VOYD Vol. I" and the 2024 album "Harbinger." Howland has become a fixture at major events, performing headline sets at EDC Las Vegas, Lollapalooza, and his own curated Valley of Darkness events at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Recently, he expanded his catalog with the multi-part "VOYD Vol. 2.5" album series in 2025 and the single "UNORTHODOX" in early 2026. His production style consistently merges heavy sub-bass, complex rhythmic structures, and cinematic atmospheres.
