Marconi Union Billets

Marconi Union play their home city returning with new atmospheric mixes of existing tracks alongside iterations of new works which may, or may not, appear on an album in development.

Marconi Union continue to side step traditional genres forging their own path. In their music can be found hints of Dub, Jazz, Ambience, Minimal Techno and Electronica which are blended together with melodies to give a unique atmospheric vibe. Their new material has been described as 'Electronic Psychedelic Shoegaze'.

They frequently draw comparisons to artists such as Kraftwerk, Brian Eno, Biosphere and Boards of Canada, while at the same time moulding these influences into their own distinct sound. 

To date Marconi Union have released 11 critically acclaimed albums and worked with many artists including Jah Wobble, Max Richter, Biosphere, Steve Jansen (Japan) and Marina Ambramovich Institute. The group have previously played at a variety of festivals and events, notably Big Chill festival and Punkt! Festival in Norway, the latter at the invitation of Brian Eno where they we asked to play live re-mixes of the previous performer’s works.          

“Minimal, introspective, ethereal electronica – gorgeous” – The Guardian.

 “Exquisite, subtle soundscapes, an essential purchase for ambient addicts” – DJ Mag

Contours

The Flightpath Estate DJ's are a collective brought together through the shared love of the late Andrew Weatherall. They will be playing a set of electronica tuned to suit the evening. Think MNFE on an ambient/electronic vibe. Gently, "dusting the ornaments on the mantlepiece of your mind".
