CSIGO:

Early on Csigo left college to move to Budapest and became a member of the jazz-hip-hop band Dubcity Fanatikz where he played guitar and an old East German, Vermona organ for which he used different voice effect pedals, modifying its sound. The band existed for two years, and released one album, performed in several major European cities and festivals.

In 2003 he founded his current band, Beat Dis who are preparing their 6th record. They have extensive touring experience and have played in festivals all over Europe and has been praised by national radio circuit and Hungarian Viva TV which named their song “Just Like” the Most Played Song Of The Year. The band’s album “Keep Still” was nominated for the Best Album of the Year in Electronic Music by the same organization..

He is also known for his work in Anima Sound System where he has shared stages with everyone from Iggy And The Stooges and The Prodigy to The Black Eyed Peas.

Csigo curerently makes a living as a composer, lyricist and guitarist-singer. In 2010, he played some improvisations with free-jazz and noise musicians. This project evolved over the years and in 2015 materialized into a unique form of minimal-electro-noise-punk with a twist of avant-garde experimental music. His soundis a product of artists like Oneohtrix Point Never, Mouse on Mars, Raster Noton, and Ivan Pavlov aka COH.

Csigó builds his own analog musical instruments which are being showcased/performed on at his shows. This year he recorded an album entitled Rite of Sound which he mainly performs in contemporary art galleries and experimental music clubs.
