Galaxian comfortably occupies a space outside of the easily definable genres of today. A sound as equally varied as it is evocative, often hard to classify and pigeon hole but never less than absorbing. He’s never an artist to become stagnant or be confined within obvious conventions. Dousing the listener in dramatic, organic textures before sweeping them into a pulsating blaze of machine-gun percussion. A maelstrom of intricate drum programming and soaring melodies erupt from a wave of psychedelic ambiences. Releases on labels including Lower Parts, Foul-Up, LKT, Shipwrec with DJ Stingray are distinctive and remarkably vital and have further cemented his reputation for an unorthodox, idiosyncratic methodology. A provocative subversive aesthetic steeped in philosophical and anarchistic attitude further submerge the listener in Galaxian’s visions and ethos. Appearing in trademark helmet and mask evoking imagery of militant resistance, revolt and liberation, as if in preparation for the rapid approaching disintegration of civilisation. Searing live performances command attention. 2017 was a year that bolstered Galaxian’s growing reputation and introduced his sound to a wider audience. Playing at throughout Europe, BBC Radio1 airplay and end of year accolades RA 'one of the tracks of 2017'. The release of the “Blowback” EP on Foul-Up, 'Dosing the Population' on Lower Parts and 'Uprising' on Shipwrec + tracks on Repitch and 3TH 2018 will bring an array of record releases and live & DJ shows worldwide.
