OCITROP

Ocitrop was formed by Jack Wyllie, Duncan Bellamy and Milo Fitzpatrick in Febuary 2014. Initially created as a commission for the Royal Academy of Art's exhibition "Sensing Spaces", the group use various site specific samples and respond to the spaces in which they play. Made with synths, samples and guitar in a largely improvised and immersive experience, Octitrop incorporate elements of early Necks, Biosphere and Daniel Lopitan in a fresh incarnation of contemporary ambient music.

KAREN GWYER

Recording while living in London and pregnant with her son, Iowa-born producer Karen Gwyer assembled a deeply intricate collage for this mesmeric full-length debut. At times recalling the warped disco of Arthur Russell, Needs Continuum combined spiritual chanting, tumbling percussion and sci-fi synth-hum to shape a new form of cosmic techno.
