A new release from Spirit of Gravity is out now – Spherical Dancefloor by McCloud.
McCloud – otherwise Geoff Cheesemaster – presents a three-track mini-album of intense and introspective minimalism. Partly recorded live, it packs a scratchy rhythmic punch.
It all started when he bought a drum machine. “Two years on, the sounds I had inside finally came out of my mind, down through my arms and into my kit” he says, “I’ve been performing these two pieces for the last few shows and enjoying them very much. Each one is different.”

The album can be downloaded or streamed here: spiritofgravity.bandcamp.com/album/spherical-dancehall

Soborgnost: Lofi dubwave, dance-punk mutations
Thee Boxx Menn: Analogue Lofi tracks from alternative dimensions
Em-: Hardware and software modified for a better world

Soborgnost is sci-fi dance punk at the intersection of vaporwave, minimal wave, disco dub, industrial, EBM, proto-house, drone and noise.
Using a hardware sampler to emulate dub mixing, looping post-punk style basslines with chuggy, lo-fi beats. Warped analogue textures are added with cassette tape manipulation, electro magnetic frequency transmitters, shortwave radio, harsh noise generator and dub sirens.

In the shadowy corner of Brighton’s underground music scene, a pair of eccentric synth wizards emerged under the enigmatic moniker, Thee Boxx Menn. They were two renegades of rhythm and noise, rebels armed with synthesizers and the wild spirit of lo-fi experimentation.
Thee Boxx Menn were more than an electronic act. They were architects of sound, dream weavers, and the harbingers of a new sonic era a legacy unfolding between the lines of melody and harmony, waiting to resonate in the hearts and minds of those who dared to listen.
Crafting lo-fi tracks that felt like transmissions from alternate dimensions. Their live shows became legendary. They’d cloak the stage in mist, their silhouettes obscured as the pulsing synths and eerie melodies carried audiences on otherworldly journeys. Each performance felt like a ritual, a communion between human creativity and the forgotten whispers of technology.
Music held powers far beyond their understanding. Thee Boxx Menn didn’t just make music; they became the medium through which otherworldly energies found their voice.

Em― presents a live electronic music performance that revels in the whimsy and ferocity of continuously evolving ideas, consisting of dense synthetic textures, playful glitchy grooves and moments of accelerating chaos.  Behind the wheel is musician and electronic music producer June Kiff, utilising her live music ecosystem, “emsys”, composed of drum machines and various custom devices, in service of the transformation of nonsense.
