About
Colin Brown is a NY based new wave performer and producer. After 2 decades of international touring as a keyboardist in the indie soul scene, he shifted focus from the Hammond organ and vintage keyboards to synthesizers and singing. Originally from the SF bay area, he grew up in a log cabin, was trained in classical piano, and studied Hindustani classical music from Ustad Ali Akbar Khan for 6 years before relocating to Brooklyn in 2010. Vermin the Villain (aka LORD VERM) is an NYC based alternative hip-hop / jazz artist from Laredo, TX. He wears a mask at all times to conceal his identity. He often improvises, utilizing live loops, and incorporates instruments such as flute, turntables, samplers and piano. He is signed to London based label Lewis Recordings. One of dance music’s most fun and eclectic artists, Shane’s low-slung style of house and disco breathes new life into dance floors around the world. Whether playing keyboards with PillowTalk or DJing solo at events like Houghton Festival and ADE, Shane’s diverse musical roots shine through in his song selection and technique.
