An Ambient Evening with The Orb & Friends Electrical

  • Published in News

On Friday 21st April at Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall, The Orb present ‘An Ambient Evening with The Orb & Friends Electrical’, featuring leading figures in electronic music including Dee Deeon, DJ Dadaist, DJ Food, Gaudi, King Michael, Metamono, Pete W, Rev Eno, Roney FM, and Youth.

The four-hour journey of non-stop music will include The Orb aka Dr. Alex Paterson and Thomas Fehlman playing an ambient selection of tracks from their first album The Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld with guest appearances from Youth and Gaudi. The duo will also perform the album COW (Chill Out World), in its entirety with special guest Youth. Ahead of the performance, there is a free screening of Lunar Orbit, Patrick Buchanan’s feature documentary that explores The Orb’s unique creative process and delves into the story behind the music and is followed by a Q+A.

Special guests for the evening come from numerous esteemed friends in the electronic world. Ninja Tune veteran, DJ Food, brings over 2 decades of experience to the Royal Festival Hall. Well-known for his epic and thoroughly researched mixes such as Raiding the 20th Century, he now applies his highly creative formula to the screen with Audio-Visual shows that are equally well-realised.

Martin Glover, aka Youth is a renowned music producer and bassist in the post-punk band Killing Joke. He achieved his first success with the latter in the late Seventies and has often been at the forefront of innovation and development in British music since. Having played a key role in developing their uniquely dubby, dark sound, Youth parted ways with Killing Joke in 1982 and formed Brilliant, a band that espoused an ahead-of-its-time dance musical ethos and included the involvement of both future members of the KLF.

Between the Orb’s sets, Roney FM will be entertaining the audience while in the corridor, King Michael, owner of the Book and Record Bar in West Norwood, London, will join DJ Food with music and books galore.
