New release on the Spirit of Gravity BandCamp label: WASPS – Satellites

Another Spirit of Gravity release has been launched on bandcamp – Satellites by WASPS 

WASPS are Andrew Greaves and Dan Powell, both members of the Spirit of Gravity music collective. ‘Satellites’ is their first release as WASPS. Its three tracks use found objects and understated layering of digital and analogue synths to create atmospheric pieces of great economy and beauty. There is abstraction, fragmentary melodies, and plenty of light, shade, and space.

The germ of the album was sown with successful, largely improvised live collaborations at the Rose Hill and, under the Spirit of Gravity banner, at the Rossi Bar. ‘Satellites’ too was mostly improvised, and was recorded in a single day at ChiffChaff Studios in Brighton in late 2025. The duo then spent the long winter evenings mixing the recordings.

Thursday 4th June at the Rossi Bar: Leifert / Lekemo / Marçal Xirau

Leifert: avant garde electro
Lekemo: news clips, beats and death metal samples
Marçal Xirau: ethereal melodies & raw emotional energy

Leifert is avant-garde electro outfit based in the UK. Raised on rock’n’roll, creating a shifted wall of sounds using a variety of tools, exploring and playing with wide range of fields through melodies and sound design.

Merging film/news clips, beats and death metal guitar samples into a dancey mess. Lekemo is the lynchpin o fteh Hove Electronic Music Open Mic nights, usually opening the proceedings, if you’ve been there early you’ll know what to expect, if not you’re in for a treat.

Marçal Xirau is a Catalan experimental electronic musician based in London.
He has released four EP’s and one LP since 2017. He is currently presenting his next upcoming album “Unveiled”. The first single titled “Hidden”, released on October 25, 2024, is a dreamy lullaby that offers an introduction to the sonic and emotional depth of the album. With its slow, deliberate build, “Hidden” intertwines moments of introspection with bursts of aggression. The single’s delicate yet powerful sound blends ethereal melodies with raw emotional energy.
With an artistic approach prioritising creativity in sound manipulation, resulting in a blend of ambient and beat-based sets that offer a transformative and surreal
experience for the audience.
