Ultramarine Biglietti

Ultramarine [Live AV]

Riigs [Hybrid set]

Ultramarine are the London/Essex-based electronic duo of Ian Cooper and Paul Hammond. 

Formed in 1989, their much-loved album Every Man and Woman is a Star (1991) is considered a post-club, pastoral techno, acid-house infused classic of its era.

The group have taken a meandering musical path over the years with their distinctive blend of electronica, ambient and songwriting. They have collaborated with Robert Wyatt, Kevin Ayers & Anna Domino and toured with Orbital and Björk.

Their most recent album is the acclaimed Send and Return (Blackford Hill, 2023).

Andrew Dobson (Digitonal, Of the Night Sky) has been producing and performing electronic music for over 25 years.

With his collaborators, he's released records with Toytronic Records, Cactus Island and Just Music, delivered remixes for Max Richter, B12 and Marconi Union and holds production credits for Kelli Ali and Kirsty Hawkshaw.

Now relocated to Suffolk, Alphabox is Dobson flying solo in unashamed 90s electronica mode, recalling early Plaid, B12 and In Sides-era Orbital. 

Expect angular beats, bleepy melodies, 101 basslines and lush pads delivered with a performance-centric hybrid hardware setup alongside long-time VJ collaborator Jim Horsfield (Jon Hopkins, Beardyman).

Mark Allin (AKA Riigs) makes electronic music for the dancefloor and everywhere else.

Based in London he creates ambient, dub, bass and house music with a flair for deep, melodic grooves and rich, textured drums.

He works with a number of wildly talented collaborators from around the world. Riigs performs live regularly, releases on a number of top labels and is co-owner of the label Londam with Dutch producer Skenna.
