Chris Brann, the multitalented and prolific Atlanta-based producer / composer / remixer, has carved his own niche (and sound) in the ever-evolving dance underground. Combining mesmerizing textures with sophisticated beats, the 28-year-old wunderkind creates lush and sublime sonic panoramas tempered with eclectic musical influences from soul, experimental electronica, early Chicago house, Afro-Brazilian rhythms and experimental jazz. Under the innovative WAMDUE (short for "What I¹m Gonna Do") MUSICproducktion banner, Brann has forged a musical lineage that has borne an amalgam of critically acclaimed projects, most notably Wamdue Project (Strictly Rhythm / AM:PM UK), Ananda Project (King Street US / VC Recordings UK), P¹taah (Ubiquity) and the Wamdue Kidz (Peacefrog / Studio K7).
Through his various guises, Brann has explored avant jazz, drum & bass, deep house, ambient and beyond in his continuing quest to reinvent and redefine musical parameters. His well-publicized hatred of pop music spurs him on to create music that goes beyond simple categorization. |
