Biography

London, United Kingdom (2007 – present)

The Heliocentrics is a London based psychedelic music collective breaking boundaries between funk, rock, electronic, ethnic traditions, and experimental music.

The Heliocentrics’ debut album, Out There (2007) was a confounding piece of work. Drawing from the funk universe of James Brown, the disorienting asymmetry of Sun Ra, the cinematic scope of Ennio Morricone and the sublime fusion of David Axelrod, musique concrète, post-punk and krautrock, it pointed the way towards a brand new kind of psychedelia, one that could only come from many years of musical evolution and the refusal to conform to a single genre.

The band’s collective drive is to find an individual voice, and they search for it in an alternate galaxy where the orbits of funk, jazz, psychedelic, electronic, avant-garde and “ethnic” music all revolve around “The One.” Drummer Malcolm Catto and bassist Jake Ferguson are the two constants behind the UK ensemble, with Nigerian guitarist Ade Owusu the irregular third. Equally musicians and music fans, they have been playing together for over a decade.

Back at Now-Again Records with 13 Degrees Of Reality, The Heliocentrics have returned to develop their epic vision of psychedelic funk, while exploring the possibilities created by their myriad influences – Latin, African, and more. Whether it’s the creative fusions of Descarga Electronica or the string-led Collateral Damage, The Heliocentrics’ music will be lapped up by crate-diggers and lovers of questing spirits alike.
