Frivolous

6400 fans

Since the release of his first Crankkongestion EP in 2002, Canada's Frivolous has carved out a tailor-made niche in the electronic landscape. His atypical work as a composer and experimental tinkerer has led him to settle almost naturally in Berlin's BPM broth. From there, his motley minimal electro has seduced Europe, notably the Swiss label Cadenza, which released his third album in 2011.
