Background
The band was active from 2007 to 2011 and released two definitive works, Dancethink LP and Love Child EP.[1][2] The band released two other EPs, My Dear Disco and Over the Noise, whose tracks were re-recorded and released in final form on Dancethink and Love Child – with the exception of one track titled "Over the Noise". The band also produced remix music and released a collection titled The Remixes EP.
Style
Ella Riot specialized in writing and performing live dance music.[3] The band referred to its musical style as "DanceThink Music", dance music written to stand on its own merit and to be enjoyed apart from dance.[3] Their music combines elements from several genres including rock, jazz, electronic, pop, soul and punk.[1] An album review characterized the music as a fusion of trance and rock music.[4]
