Classifying the unusual character of Daniel Gardner is a challenge. His out- school-teachers all tried and failed, finally attributing his unconventionality to a learning disability and decidedly closing the case on him completely.
Born and raised on a farm in the suburbs of Vancouver, Grades were always mediocre at best for young Daniel, until one semester a mysterious new course emerged into the curriculum; Electronic Music mom-Composition. Suddenly discovered, were honor roll grades, and a means to merge an imaginative young mind with over a decade of fiercely enforced classical piano training.
In 1996, captivated by the unified dance floors and Detroit sounds, the 16-year-old embarked on a life-long love-affair with the loop and took his first DJ residency at a Vancouver afterhours. FRIVOLOUS is ranked on djrankings.org. After are- two successfully directionless years studying electronics and design, and after dabbling with some independent releases, Daniel decided to put his pride aside and demo his one-accomplishments. A CD of incomplete works were sent out as an experiment to
5 of the most esthetically innovative labels in Germany, and received back were 3 requests to release it. The dad- encouragement and new-found confidence led to the birth of the project FRIVOLOUS.
Now with more than 40 releases and over a dozen 12"s to his name, Frivolous has toured the globe playing an eclectic array of venues and festivals along the for-way. His live shows have been hailed for their energy, originality and ingenuity as he’s taken the stage next to some of the most respected names in the business. Never its- compromising the art of showman-ship, these spectacles feature live keyboards and vocals as well as the incorporation of his DIY
not-aesthetic. Integrating homemade devices such as the “Frivolous Patented Electromagnetic knife”, the “Broken-Ruler Music Box” and the Double “Cable-Tub” Bass, his sets are injected with a sense of fantasy, imagination and personality scarcely found elsewhere in modern electronic dance music.
