There are four artists by this name: a British looping multi-instrumentalist, A DJ and MC from Providence, R.I., a French electronic artist and DJ, and a hard rock band from Norway. 1: Theo is the alias of multi-instrumentalist Sam Knight, from Worcester, UK. Taut, chugging guitar loops layer up with frenetic tapping patterns that interweave in spiralling complexity before near sub-atomically precise, powerhouse drumming clatters and builds each song into juggernaut of riffs and rhythms. To achieve something like this recorded is one thing, but to see Theo perform live is quite another as each song blurs into the next and the dazzling guitar and drum acrobatics leave jaws sagging on the faces of all who bear witness to the talent on offer. He released his first EP Order, Echo in 2007, and has released several more since. (see also: Theo (UK). 2: Theo, a.k.a. Theo Martins, a DJ and MC from Providence, Rhode Island. He released his album The Birth in 2008. 3. From France, Theo is an eclectic artist that has produced music since his debut as a club and radio DJ in 1992. Since 1999, he has been releasing tracks on the French label Bazoline, with original lounge-oriented tracks as well as other collaborations and remixes. In 2004, he released his electronica EP Souk on the net label Kahvi Collective. In 2006, he released 'Funk My Tricky Groovy Disco Shit' which was a chart topper in the breaks niche. 4: Theo were a bluesy hard rock band from Arendal, Norway who released the full length album The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly in 1988, but split shortly after. Two of the members, Baard Torstensen and Erland Ottem later formed Clawfinger. Erlend left the band after a few years, but Baard is still in the band.
