Born in Epinal (France) in 1980 from an Sicilian family Frank Riggio lives now in the south of France, near Toulouse.
Electronic music lover since his childhood, he begins to mix acid music with turntables at the age of sixteen.
At 18, he buys his first hardware and he creates two years later his own label, Sagaloops, who had recognition in the rave and hardtek movement.
From 2000 to 2005, he has produced fifteen EP's (vinyl), with publication to 1500 items each, and he has also collaborated to other projects on various labels.
In 2005, Frank took a fresh start and wanted to work on other musical style, and then he ended the Sagaloops experience.
The same year he produced illustrative music for french television (Canal+), working for basketball magazines.
Along to these works, and influenced by Amon Tobin, Bonobo or Dj Shadow, he composes cinematic and colorful electronica.
Early 2007, under the name Frank Riggio, he's finalizing his first LP (Visible in Darkness), and will be signed at british label CCT Records.

--> BIO :
Né en France à Epinal en 1980, Frank Riggio d’origine Sicilienne réside actuellement près de Toulouse, dans le sud de la France.
Passionné de musiques electroniques depuis l’adolescence, il décide à 16 ans de mixer sur platine vinyle de l’acid music. Petit-à-petit, Frank a envie de pousser la pratique en produisant sa propre musique.
A 18 ans, il achète ses premières machines et deux ans plus tard il crée son propre label,
Sagaloops, alors reconnu dans le milieu rave et plus particulièrement dans le mouvement hardtek.
Il réalise entre 2000 et 2005 quinze EP qui seront diffusés à hauteur de 1500 copies par vinyle,
apportant également sa collaboration à d’autres projets, sur divers labels.
En 2005, Frank décide de se consacrer à un autre style de musique et met donc fin à l’existence
de Sagaloops.
Dans la même année il réalise de la musique illustrative pour la chaîne Canal + (France), en synchronisation sur des reportages de sports U.S. (basketball).
En parallèle, influencé par Amon Tobin, Bonobo ou Dj Shadow, il compose de l’electronica d’ambiance cinématographique.
Fin 2006, sous le nom de Frank Riggio, il finalise son premier album (Visible in Darkness), et signe chez le label anglais
CCT Records.

Yo Frank Riggioasaurus. I just found out that we're related...and as a special family only present we've made a new song for you called "End of Days" (start doing backflips now). It's an epic instrumental opus to the moment when our ancient Dino relatives saw a large fiery object plummeting towards them. Please come to our page, give it a listen and let us know if it makes you feel like something catastrophic is gonna happen. If the song upsets you too much we will be holding several s support groups (read: comcerts) in the near future. Check our page for locations, dates and times.
