For Tokyo-based American-born live performer and producer Conoley Ospovat dance music is something that is deeply personal – a means of expressing and sharing the most heartfelt of emotions. Not content to follow trends or pigeonhole himself, Ospovat draws on a diverse range of influences such as techno, progressive house, electronica, synthpop and improvisational jam bands
to make energetic dance music that is rich in feeling. A desire to create an experience that is both dynamic and engaging infuses his live performances, which see him playing and controlling synthesizers, a laptop and a midi-controller in real time, as well as running his own live vocals through guitar effects pedals.

Ospovat has played live extensively since 2003 across America and Japan, including the 2004 Fuji Rock Festival, a 2007 U.S. tour, and at the popular Real Grooves club events in Tokyo. 2009 saw releases on KSR House and DHP (Deep House Project), and on his label Continental Drift Records, started with Craig Oldring (c_olvrin) in October 2009. He has performed recently at Unit and eleven (formerly Space Lab Yellow) in Tokyo. Read more on Last.fm.
