My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 22/12/2004
Band Website: www.con-brio.co.uk
Band Members: Dave Millar esq.
Influences: Electronically speaking: FSOL, Orb, AFX, Orbital...these are the original daddies of electronica for me, but there's obviously loads more out there - Squarepusher, Bola, Plaid, Meam, Bogdan, everyone at Adverse Camber cos they're well clever. I'm fond of a load of stuff though (that old chestnut - I like a bit of almost anything).

Some very different influences can also be heard over at another project I'm involved with love.stop.repeat
Sounds Like: "Con Brio is pure electronica - a sound that glitches through heavenly glances of beauty then yanks you back to reality with cut-up beats dirty enough to make a hammer bleed" apparently :)
Record Label: Kraked AI/Spunktronics/De-Fence/Disco_r.dance
Type of Label: Indie
