Quadron is a Los Angeles-based Danish duo consisting of singer Coco O (real name Coco Maja Hastrup Karshøj) and musician/producer Robin Hannibal (real name Robin Hannibal Mølsted Braun). The name of the band refers to the multi-racial heritage of the band members (from "Quadroon"). The group considers itself, and the music they provide, "electronic soul music".
