Danger

Franck Rivoire, known by his stage name Danger, is a French electronic musician.HistoryRivoire's musical history started an early age, when his parents introduced him to the piano and saxophone. Growing up, he played in both jazz and punk bands, and other interests included skateboarding and metal music. Rivoire got his first synthesizer after seeing a friend use one and convincing his parents to buy one for him, too. His interest in electronic music was pursued further when he began using Amiga and Atari computers to make chiptunes, a hobby that he still practices.Before he started using the name "Danger", Rivoire trained to be a graphic designer and worked as one professionally. When not working, he practiced digital music production. His track "11h30" was created during this time and contains his own vocals, but no lyrics; the vocals instead consist of mixed-up syllables.In an effort to modernize the sound of his music, Rivoire created some new electro-influenced tracks and uploaded them onto MySpace under the name Danger. He chose the moniker because he had previously used it for online chat clients and believed he would get free advertising as "danger" is such a commonly used word. In 2007, he signed to the label Ekler'o'shock because he enjoyed the music of its other artists such as DatA. There have since been three Danger EP's released on Ekler'o'shock as well as a number of remixes released both officially and otherwise.RemixesOther Tracks"9:19", released on Ekler'o'shock's EOS MMX - The Summer Solstice Edition One"9h20", made in 2007 and available online"12h38", a track used in "The Big Purple Van Club" video performance by Danger in 2008"13h12 (Live Edit)", a track that has been ripped twice from Danger's live sets: once without the full intro and once without the full ending"13h40", said to be made in 2007 or 2008 but never officially released and containing a sample of Masterboy's "Feel the Heat of the Night""22h39", released on Ekler'o'shock's EOS MMX - The Summer Solstice Edition TwoAttraction soundtrack, music for a lengthy Japanese/French interactive anti-smoking ad/animation directed by Koji Morimoto
