Marconi Union

Marconi Union continue to side step traditional genres forging their own path.

In their music can be found hints of Dub, Jazz, Ambience, Minimal Techno and Electronica, which are blended together with melodies and spaced out guitar riffs to give a unique atmospheric experience.

They frequently draw comparisons to artists such as Kraftwerk, Brian Eno, Biosphere, Tangerine Dream and Boards of Canada, while at the same time moulding these influences into their own distinct sound. Tracks from their new studio album The Fear of Never Landing have been described vicariously as Electronic Head Music or a new Electronic Shoegaze.

Marconi Union have worked with many artists including Jah Wobble, Max Richter, Biosphere, Steve Jansen (Japan) and Marina Ambramovich Institute. The group have previously played at a variety of festivals and events, notably Big Chill festival and Punkt! Festival in Norway, the latter at the invitation of Brian Eno where they we asked to play live re-mixes of the previous performer’s works.

“Minimal, introspective, ethereal electronica – gorgeous” – The Guardian.

 “Exquisite, subtle soundscapes, an essential purchase for ambient addicts” – DJ Mag

“Brilliant, but why do they play this size of venue?                                    ..…..Almost like some dirty little secret, it’s fantastic.”

– Andrew Vevers
