  • Forthcoming: Craven Faults co-promotion

    We’re very excited to announce that we have a co-promotion with The Old Market next year for a visit of the excellent Leaf label artists Craven Faults to Brighton. It’s happening on 25th March 2027, and tickets and further details will hopefully be released soon. In the meantime, put the date in your diary and keep checking this link for news: www.theoldmarket.com/craven-faults

    “From haunting analogue synths rise half-remembered journeys across post-industrial Yorkshire.

    On first impression, Craven Faults appears to be a journey through a uniform landscape, past familiar mills, peaks and dales. Until you start to notice the details. The devil’s in the details. It occupies your peripheral vision. It leaves you questioning how you arrived where you did. How did we get here?

    The electronic innovation of Craven Faults is a genuine word-of-mouth success story based on meticulous world building, attention to craft and recognition of those trailblazing artists, studios and producers that have paved the way.

    An element of anonymity and intrigue has been maintained throughout, while giving fans enough information to go much deeper if they’re inclined to dig.”

  • New release on the Spirit of Gravity BandCamp label: 25

    The Spirit of Gravity was founded in 2001 by Nick Rilke and Tony Rimbaud, to provide a platform for live experimental electronic music.

    Before long it gathered a nucleus of local musicians and was attracting artists from around the world.

    As part of the 25th birthday celebrations this year for the Spirit of Gravity, we wanted to release a compilation CD, to expand on the vinyl LP format we used for our 21st, and include artists old and new who we have loved over the years. There are a few missing for various reasons, but we’re very happy with the outcome. This release is available in strictly limited CD form or as a digital download.
