Cinnamon Chasers, solo project of Russ Davies, has strong musical roots and cites early pioneers like Giorgio Moroder, Vangelis, Jean-Micheal Jarre, and KLF as key influences and leading to modern talent such as Alan Braxe, Rex The Dog, Junior Boys… Rather than create pretentious moody dance music Russ wants to create music that has an honest heart, and good intentions, and feels like a good friend.
