LE PETIT ORB (live)
(Alex Paterson & Thomas Fehlmann)

The Orb are world renowned for their status as godfathers of the new wave of electronic music post 1988. The project of Alex Paterson, the Orb were formed in '88 by Paterson with Jimmy Cauty (KLF) as the co-pilot. Early releases such as 'Tripping On Sunshine' and 'A Huge Ever-growing Pulsating Brain Which Rules From The Centre Of The Ultraworld' established the Orb as pioneers of the emerging ambient / rave scene. After an acrimonious split with Cauty in '90, Paterson teamed up with Youth to record the sublime 'Little Fluffy Clouds'. Also in '90 Thomas Fehlmann along with Thrash first came into the fold of the Orb. Classic albums such as 'Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld', 'U.F. Orb', 'Orbus Terrarum', 'Peel Sessions' and 'Orblivion' marked out the path of the Orb through the 1990s. The 'Live 93' and 'Auntie Aubrey's....' remix albums are also classics of the dance years leading up to the millennium.
The Orb have toured on massive scale since '93, with spectacular shows at the likes of Glastonbury and festivals and stadiums worldwide. Following the release of 'Orblivion' in '97, Paterson established Le Petit Orb to play live in smaller club venues.
Since 2000, The Orb have released further excursions with 'Auntie Aubrey..', the Albums 'Cydonia' and 'Bicycles & Tricycles, as well as launching the Badorb project / label. In 2003, the Orb released their first single on Kompakt Records the 'Kompassion EP', in 2004 the 'Komplott EP' was released, and last month the 'Komfort EP' was served to us as a taster of what's to come on their soon to be released new album. The 'Komfort EP' is a fantastic record, which reaffirms the Orb as the true masters of ambient techtronics.
It is with great pleasure that we present to you the legends that have brought us great listening pleasure over the last seventeen years. On July 23rd Le Peitit Orb get Le Grande Stage in the SFX City Theatre. Be there or be square!

"You've been orbed if you're sitting in a room and you get up to look out the window and you suddenly realize that it was coming from the record."

-- Dr. Alex Paterson.

MIXMASTER MORRIS (Dj set)

Another legend on the bill is the one and only ambient ambassador Mixmaster Morris. Feel the Irresistible Force of the most hardworking ambient / chillout DJ in the world as he plays support to the Orb in 2005 just like he did when it all began in '88.
Morris has produced some classic albums under The Irresistible Force on the Rising High and Ninja Tune labels. A regular well respected writer for Mixmag from '95 to '99, Morris gave the likes of Aphex Twin, Black Dog, Orbital & Squarepusher their first press coverage. Morris also released the classic Ambient Mixmag CD split with Alex Paterson. The late great John Peel even named him as his 'natural successor'. Morris has always been a champion of underground dance music, and is recognised as a leading critic of corporate dance music. So don't expect to hear the Crazy Frog from Morris at this event!

HALFSET (live)

Halfset are one of the best new homegrown acts to blossom over the last two years. Their debut album 'Dramanalog' on Elusive Recordings is one of the most beautiful pieces of modern day instrumental music, flavours of electronica are combined with more traditional instruments such as the harp and the glockenspiel in what has become known as folktronica. Stephen Shannon and Jeff Martin are the founding members of this group, who have expanded in members while doing the live circuit. This is euphoric, synth-driven/organic down-tempo music that will completely free your mind.
