About Me

Untitled Document

A.K.A. Buttonsinker

Elektro-boy is the side project of Cristóbal C. Already known in the canadien experimental scene at the young age of 15 with his radio show at CISM. Since then, he has been producing tons of electro tracks. Sometimes dark and chic and other times dirty glitches from the 70’s/80’s euro horror music period. He has remixed various artists like ELLEN ALLIEN, GENTLE BAKEMONO, JORDAN DARE, HONG KONG COUNTERFEIT, WATER LILLY and KAVINSKY. He is also the co-owner of the retro chic CULTHEROES RECORDS with the always sexy KATYA CASIO. Now get ready for his first album, lots of synths, dark melodies and his deep melancholy. Get ready for:
NEVER FORGOTTEN, ALWAYS LOVED
