Frivolous and Grabke's mix presentation in Mix

On September 30, the Mix club will host a presentation of Maxim Grabke’s mix “Sub. Technique”, as well as a performance by musician Frivolous. The mix "Sub. Technique" was recorded by Maxim Grabke based on the results of a series of parties of the same name, which ended in August. As for Frivolous, this Canadian - Daniel Gardner - is a very unusual artist. School teachers would explain his strange behavior as an inability to study: Daniel always received very mediocre grades. But at some point a completely new subject appeared at school: electronic composition. Daniel's marks immediately skyrocketed; At the same time, it became clear that the previous numerous classical piano lessons would also be useful. In 1996, 16-year-old Frivolous, captivated by the Detroit sound, received his first weekly residency at an after-party venue in Vancouver. After another two years, during which Daniel was chaotically engaged in electronics and design, he finally put together and sent out a demo tape. Of the five German labels that received the recording, three sent back offers of collaboration. I told Andy (Andy Vaz) that the work was not finished yet, and on the same day that I heard from him, the first records from the Crankkongestion EP (Background Records) arrived. From then on, everything went like a chain. Today, having undergone a long musical evolution, Frivolous creates cutting-edge music, combining ironic minimal electronics with soul vocals. He is also known for his eccentric performances, where classical instruments and vocals merge with experimental glitch and electronic funk.
