STROBES

A sonic triangle of electrified polyrhythms, spaced-out synth jams and off-kilter beats.



Formed of keyboardist Dan Nicholls (Squarepusher and Matthew Herbert), drummer Joshua Blackmore (Troyka) and guitar and synth man Matt Calvert (Three Trapped Tigers, Heritage Orchestra), this band has created a sound that eschews genre and feels free from time-stamps. They are an intensely high-octane group that fire off frantic tempos and intricate complexities, yet they also retain an accessibility through fluid grooves and an engaging sense of melodic intuition.



Conjuring big beats and a vast array of sonic possibilities, Strobes flickers effortlessly between the worlds of electro-improv, minimalist polyrhythm, Afrocentric grooves and distinctively original hooks. Built from collective composition, studio production, live sampling and improv jams, the music ranges from fiery, exhilarating odd-tempo loops, to polyphonic synth soundscapes and 'beats that make loose clothing shimmer and earings rattle' (TheArtsDesk).

LET'S SWIM, GET SWIMMING

Let's Swim, Get Swimming are a gnarly math rock band formed in the heart of Surrey, taking inspiration from bands like: Totorro, TTNG & Maps and Atlases.



Creating an up beat and sophisticated sound with beautiful elegance, this instrumental trio are one to keep an eye on in 2017. With a release of their debut record around the corner they are destined to take the scene by storm!
