"Finally - an intellectual predecessor to Mezzanine-era Massive Attack...we'd be smart to keep a close eye on this multi-instrumentalist." The Black and White Magazine

Q-Theory has just released his first full-length electronica album on 01 Records, titled Design By Chance. This exciting new album, full of captivating melodies and rhythms, re-introduces the concept of songs as the most important component of electronica, rather than beats and effects which have saturated this genre over the last decade. Design By Chance embraces a range of musical influences from hip-hop to rock and world-beat, and puts forward an important contribution to the evolution of electronica.
Hailing from the UK, Adrian Quayle was originally trained in classical music, and has roots in the brit-rock music scene. He was largely influenced by the trip-hop sounds originating in Bristol, as well as the underground hip-hop scene of Manchester. He started the name Q-Theory to promote the release of his latest work that incorporates these influences.
Q-Theory currently produces music in Vancouver, where he has included the work of various local artists, singers and rappers for his first full-length album debut.
