Quadron (Copenhagen,Denmark) was born when Robin encountered Coco at the suggestion of a friend. Already a name within Owusu & Hannibal and Boom Clap Bachelors, Robin was ready to continue his collaborations with some new adventures. In the ingénue of Coco he saw a female muse, influenced by Jill Scott, Erykah Badu and Lauryn Hill, and the group was born.

Robin creates melodies with lush orchestration and deep beats, intellectual and crisp. Coco layers these with her voluptuous timbre, together completing the sound of Quadron. Five years have passed and Coco’s sweet soulful voice now perfectly accents Robin’s instrumental skylines. They are lush, lyrical and sophisticated. Quadron reminds us of the future, creating classics we’ve never heard before but remember like our hearts knew them yesterday.

After the duo, who are also members of the soul collective Boom Clap Bachelors, enjoyed the accolades of the collective’s debut Kort Før Dine Læber (2008); Robin and Coco began work on their own debut recording for Quadron. This lead to the release of their debut, Quadron in Denmark (August 2009). The record found it’s way into the hands of Anthony Valdez, a DJ at the influential radio station KCRW.

He immediately began playing the record and the rest of the DJ’s followed. Since the end of 2009, Quadron has been a constant fixture in KCRW’s Top 10 and this led to the duo signing to the Los Angeles label, Plug Research, whose roster includes Bilal, Dntel, Flying Lotus, Daedelus and more. Robin has already enjoyed a long list of collaborations with the likes of Aloe Blacc, Om’mas Keith, Buraka Som Sistema, Wally Badarou (Talking Heads, Level 42), Erick Sermon and others. Now, along with Coco, Quadron becomes his next spectacular story!
