Riovolt is a mix of brazilian sounds and flavours like samba, forr? and bossa nova with electronica, drumnbass, break beats, funk and jazz - perfectly suitable for dancing, lounging, clubbingor just sitting on your sofa spacing away. "Riovolt is my very personal idea of sophisticated music that lifts you up and makes you want to move your body. Im a sun-child, and I think this reflects in my music" says norbert k?pper aka nobit, the composer, producer and above all the soul of Riovolt. "its about authencity, distinctiveness and uniqueness, about deepness of feelings, complexity of thoughts and the simplicity of their expressions - and of course its about groove!" yes, nobit knows what groove means: he sucked it away as he grew up playing funk, fusion and soul as a teenager and he immersed deep into it while living in Rio de janeiro, brazil. while riovolt on their first album digital audio bossa (which became a topseller in japan) were squeezing samba and bossa nova rhythms through the funk-jazz-electrifyer, a secret combination of analog-psycho-acoustic-codification-devices, this very same machine, constantly undergoing alchemistic modifications, was used to produce the follow up album sambarama, giving continuity to the deep grooves, edgy melodies and jazzy atmospheres riovolts charm is all about. Riovolt breaks borders with originality, in tune with the ongoing latino-hype and at the same time a step ahead of current trends. Riovolt live' is an unforgettable experience: a well balanced mixture of electronic and 'hand made music', excellent musicians, perfectly performing with virtuosity, groove, hot solos & cool vibes.
