The band was founded in Prague in 2011 and defines itself as “progressive live music with a modern, electronic sound that builds on improvisation and communication between the artists.” Furthermore, a motto of theirs is: “A live band, immersed into experimental atmosphere, drives off the original atoms of music.”
The style of Atomic Gigolo is a concoction of trip-hop, acid jazz, dub, electro as well as other dance rhythms and styles. The band core contains the rhythm section of Tomáš Kozelka (percussion, loops), Joska Mucha (bass) and
Hynek Obst (keyboards). Playing live, the band invites other musicians, wind instruments, a DJ or a vocalist.
