A homegrown, underground minimal techno artist.
The working name of electronic musician and performer Daniel Gardner, Frivolous was born once Gardner (born in Vancouver, Canada, around 1980) had secured a release and recording deal with a German label that was quite taken with the demo of unfinished work he had sent over in the late '90s. Soon Gardner was releasing work on a regular basis, and by 2008 Frivolous had seen the release of more than ten EPs and full-lengths (including Buffet Haraja and Somewhere in the Suburbs), in addition to a considerable amount of remix work. Eventually, Gardner would take leave of his Canadian surroundings and call Berlin, Germany, home. ~ Chris True, Rovi
