-- BIO :

Born in Epinal (France) in 1980 from an Sicilian family Frank Riggio lives now in the south of France, near Toulouse.
Electronic music lover since his childhood, he begins to mix acid music with turntables at the age of sixteen. At 18, he buys his first hardware and he creates two years later his own label, Sagaloops, who had recognition in the rave and hardtek movement. From 2000 to 2005, he has produced fifteen EP's (vinyl), with publication to 1500 items each, and he has also collaborated to other projects on various labels.
In 2005, Frank took a fresh start and wanted to work on other musical style, and then he ended the Sagaloops experience.
The same year he produced illustrative music for french television (Canal+), working for basketball magazines.
Along to these works, and influenced by Amon Tobin, Bonobo or Dj Shadow, he composes cinematic and colorful electronica. Frank's music is sample-based, and he finds his sources in all kind of musical genres, acoustic or electronic, with a great passion for movie soundtracks, oriental and psychedelic music. His composition is centered on sample's harmonics, surrounded by great beats. The result is a dense, rich and intense music, that can be dark or shiny, but always elegant.
Early 2007, under the name Frank Riggio, he's finalizing his first LP (Visible in Darkness), and will be signed at british label CCT Records.

-- BIO :
Né en France à Epinal en 1980, Frank Riggio d’origine Sicilienne réside actuellement près de Toulouse, dans le sud de la France.
Passionné de musiques electroniques depuis l’adolescence, il décide à 16 ans de mixer sur platine vinyle de l’acid music. Petit-à-petit, Frank a envie de pousser la pratique en produisant sa propre musique. A 18 ans, il achète ses premières machines et deux ans plus tard il crée son propre label, Sagaloops, alors reconnu dans le milieu rave et plus particulièrement dans le mouvement hardtek. Il réalise entre 2000 et 2005 quinze EP qui seront diffusés à hauteur de 1500 copies par vinyle, apportant également sa collaboration à d’autres projets, sur divers labels.
En 2005, Frank décide de se consacrer à un autre style de musique et met donc fin à l’existence de Sagaloops.
Dans la même année il réalise de la musique illustrative pour la chaîne Canal + (France), en synchronisation sur des reportages de sports U.S. (basketball).
En parallèle, influencé par Amon Tobin, Bonobo ou Dj Shadow, il compose de l’electronica d’ambiance cinématographique. Frank se base sur le sampling pour construire sa musique. Il puise ses sources dans tous les genres musicaux, acoustiques comme électroniques, avec un goût prononcé pour les B.O de films, les musiques orientales et psychédéliques. Son concept est de composer ses rythmiques autour d’une harmonie de samples pour obtenir une musique feutrée, profonde, riche, intense, sombre et lumineuse à la fois.
Fin 2006, sous le nom de Frank Riggio, il finalise son premier album (Visible in Darkness), et signe chez le label anglais CCT Records.
