Peter Digital Orchestra
Peter Digital Orchestra digested perfectly his multiple influences (hip hop, disco, break beat...), he combines them in live sets and enjoy to make people sweat on the dancefloor. Close to Jackson, Mr Oizo or Matthew Herbert, Peter Digital Orchestra's live is booty electro house, got it? Red tie and glasses, pento and moustache… Deliciously cheesy, Peter seems to come out of another decade but the machines behind he dance-shakes are from today for real! With deep groove and and a slice of provocation...
