DESCRIPTION:
Comandante Zero, or C0, is a Brooklyn-based drum/bass/laptop duo consisting of two virtuosic New York session musicians/DJs: bassist/singer Dan Freeman and drummer/producer Ken White - mixing the heavy live groove of bygone dance bands like Chic and Liquid Liquid with the gritty edgy modern Brooklyn indie-electro sound. Formed as a touring rhythm section for Virgin Records electro-artist Xavier, theyve shared the stage with some of NYCs favorite indie and electro acts including The Juan Maclean, The Brazilian Girls and Stellastarr*, and performed in New York, London and Berlin. Their shows, a musical and visual collaboration with Brooklyn artist 0h10M1ke who digitally draws each song as its being played, have built them a following of loyal fans. In December 2008, Music Connection Magazine labeled them one of the best unsigned bands in the United States. In 2009 they went into the studio to record their first album Slouching Toward Babylon and in February, 2010 they released their first track Give It Up (Receive And Transmit)mixed and mastered by legendary multi-platinum Grammy-award winning engineer/producer Bob Power.
