Oneohtrix Point Never

Daniel Lopatin, known as Oneohtrix Point Never or OPN, is an American electronic producer, composer, singer, and songwriter whose work moves between sample-based composition and complex MIDI production. Born July 25, 1982, in Wayland, Massachusetts, he began making music in Brooklyn’s noise scene in the early 2000s before developing the synthesizer-led work that brought his solo project wider attention.

Rifts, a 2009 compilation, marked an early acclaimed statement under the Oneohtrix Point Never name. The following year, Lopatin issued Chuck Person’s Eccojams Vol. 1 under his Chuck Person alias, a release widely associated with vaporwave’s early development. Across his work, he has drawn on musical ideas from different genres and eras, using manipulated samples alongside detailed electronic arrangements.

Lopatin signed to Warp Records in 2013 and has released studio albums through the label to critical praise. Beyond his own recordings, he has worked as a producer for other artists, with extensive contributions to music by the Weeknd, Moses Sumney, and Soccer Mommy.

His composing work has also extended to film. Lopatin has collaborated prominently with directors Benny and Josh Safdie, scoring Good Time in 2017, Uncut Gems in 2019, and Marty Supreme in 2025. His score for Good Time received the Soundtrack Award at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival.
