Quadron-'Quadron'

Surprisingly, The Scandanavian soul scene is thriving right now and this is partly due to Danish ‘Electro Soul’ producing duo Quadron. Singer Coco Maja Hastrup Karshøj and multi-instrumentalist/ producer Robin Hannibal create soul-music that will excite the eardrums. Quadron have been together for a couple of years now, and their self-titled album, released late 2009 earned rave reviews.

Quadron have a contemporary approach to Soul music; simplistic, ethereal and often with influences from 70′s disco. Coco’s voice is fantastic, with a similar romantic style to Jill Scott perhaps. Her voice is soothing yet powerful, managing to be simultaneously gentle and resonating.

Their impressive variety of styles cater for a wide ranging taste. from disco-soul in Slippin’ to George Clinton-esque funk heard in the song Average Fruit. Wistful vocals flatter the ambient bassline in the track Day.
