Meet Quadron the talented duo from Denmark that has already taken L.A. if not the US by storm, composed of Coco the singer and Robin the producer. Their album is on Plug Research, also home to Bilal, Shafiq Husayn, Flying Lotus, Exile to name just a few.

In this interview with M Boogie at the UCLA Jazz & Reggae Festival, they talk about the warm reception they've received from the US and how the terms "electronic soul" fit with their music. With live excerpts of hit tracks "Pressure" & Slipping".

Shout out to Jonathan Kim for getting us acquainted with the group, you can add us to their already long list of fans.
