Quadron is a Los Angeles-based Danish duo consisting of singer Coco O (real name Coco Maja Hastrup Karshøj) and musician/producer Robin Hannibal (real name Robin Hannibal Mølsted Braun). The name of the band refers to the multi-racial heritage of the band members (from "Quadroon").[1] The group considers itself, and the music they provide, "electronic soul music".
The self-titled debut album Quadron was released in late July 2009. Paste Magazine named Quadron "Best of What's Next" in August 2010,[2] and New York Magazine named Quadron's self-titled album number 7 in their top 10 best albums of the year.[3] The duo released their second studio album Avalanche in 2013.
In 2011, Quadron collaborated with American DJ and record producer Kaskade for the song "Waste Love" off his album Fire & Ice.
