Casino_Burn

My names Frank Watts, I'm a musician/composer/sound manipulator running a small label (Six Sixty Recordings) for the past 15+ years. Producing music of a cinematic kind combining influences from an eclectic range of genres (Trip Hop, Electronica, Post-Punk, DnB, Northern Soul, Noise-Rock). Two main studio projects at the moment are Casino Burn and Tool of the Man.

I like a wide spectrum of genres/artists, so I tend to pull my influences from alot of different places. Most of my music is instrumental and veers towards the cinematic/soundtrack genre. As to what it sounds like, I'd rather let the listener decide.

High roller.
