Chris & Cosey, the trailblazing British electronic duo, consist of Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti, both former members of the seminal industrial music group Throbbing Gristle. Following the disbanding of Throbbing Gristle in 1981, the pair embarked on their own musical journey, fusing avant-garde electronics with underground techno and elements of dance music to forge a distinct genre all their own. Their innovative use of synthesisers, sampling, and sequencing, combined with Tutti's haunting vocals and provocative themes, has left a lasting impact across various strands of electronic music.

The duo's expansive career has yielded a wealth of recordings that showcase their adept experimentation and sonic exploration. From their debut album "Heartbeat" in 1981 to the comprehensive retrospective "Collected Works 1981 - 2000," Chris & Cosey have consistently pushed the boundaries of experimental music. Each release, like "Pagan Tango" or "Exotika," often merges the cerebral with the visceral, creating immersive soundscapes that are at once both challenging and accessible. Their contribution to the Library of Sound series marks their continual evolution, mastering multimedia expressions of their sound. With a significant following and decades of influential work, Chris & Cosey remain an indelible influence on the landscape of electronic music.
