Orbital legend Phil Hartnoll leads second wave of announcements for Psychic Dancehall festival

Voka Gentle, Immersion, Afromerm also join packed line-up announcement for the electronic and experimental music event that returns in March 2026.

 

Following a first wave announcement and early bird tickets selling out in 48 hours, electronic music legend Phil Hartnoll (Orbital) has been added to close the Wardwick stage at Psychic Dancehall festival.

 

Adding a third venue, Psychic Dancehall will take place at The Wardwick and Dubrek Studios in Derby, adding new space Electric Daisy, on 21st March 2026, again bringing an unmissable selection of electronic and experimental artists to the Midlands.

 

As one half of the legendary Orbital, Hartnoll is true rave royalty, helping to soundtrack an entire generation with tracks like ‘Chime’, ‘Halycon’ and ‘Belfast’. Their appearances on Top of The Pops and Glastonbury can lay claim to kicking down the doors to the mainstream for an entire electronic music scene.

 

For his DJ set expect Orbital classics, unreleased gems, and the unexpected.

 

Joining Hartnoll is Immersion, the electronic act of Wire legend Colin Newman and Malka Spigel of Minimal Contact. Emerging in the early 1990s they have been a self-contained act and vehicle for collaboration with the likes of Tarwater, Laetitia Sadier, Ulrich Schnauss and Scanner.

 

In Dubrek Studios, curation partners Kikimora again bring a programme of innovative and genre-bending sounds. Blending contemporary sounds and jazz with electronics, field recordings and vocalisations afromerm is not to be missed, alongside the industrial sound sculptures of Amoeba Forecast. 

 

Leeds-based BUFFEE brings blown out club hyper pop laced with distorted vocals, layered harmonies. and heavy bass. The new project from Matters’ Stuart Lee Tovey House Cloud brings hypnotic, deep techno.

 

Leaving war torn Kongo and transplanting to Leeds Mulele Matondo joined forces with electronic musician Ben Eyes to form Electroni Kongo. A border-defying collision of Afrobeat and acid techno, this is Kongolese music from the future, and contemporary to now. Completing the Kikimora additions sm^sher is the solo guise of Voka Gentle’s Imogen Mason playing industrial soundscapes with folk traditions in an indefinable mix. 

 

Dubrek’s Bunker Stage will also feature James Glew’s euphoric sounds and unique melodies, the kosmiche electronica of Aysup and the melodic mash-ups of Clum.

 

They all join the first wave announcement that featured “Head Technician” Pye Corner Audio, Derbyshire legends Haiku Salut, Voka Gentle, Ivan The Tolerable, Finlay Shakespeare and Madrigirl.

 

The festival is the brainchild of Derby-based music journalist, DJ and promoter James Thornhill.

 

Second tier tickets are available at £30 and full-price tickets going for just £40.

 

Psychic Dancehall festival is supported with funding from the Arts Council’s Grassroots Music Fund.

 

With many more acts to be announced alongside DJs and other activities, Psychic Dancehall festival is shaping up to be an unmissable snapshot of UK electronic and experimental music.

* ONE OF THE ORIGINAL WAVE OF UK ELECTRONIC ‘BANDS’ SPAWNED IN THE EARLY 90’S, ALONG WITH LEFTFIELD, UNDERWORLD AND THE PRODIDGY, FLUKE FORGED THEIR OWN PATH, SIGNING ORIGINALLY TO ALAN MCGEE’S PREDOMINANTLY GUITAR BASED LABEL ‘CREATION’ (HOME TO OASIS AND PRIMAL SCREAM). THEY LATER BLITZED THE CHARTS, REMIXED THE BIGGEST BANDS IN THE WORLD AND APPEARED ON EVERY FILM, ADVERT, AND GAME GOING FROM THE MATRIX, TO PLAYSTATION TO VW CARS. THEN THEY DISAPPEARED…*

Single Info:

Fluke return with their second release of a new era, a single entitled Real Magnificent. It comes with a main mix featuring the vocals of Jon Fugler & Leah Clever, a slightly more clubby ‘All Buttons In’ mix from the band, and 2 x remixes from rising star sLEdger.
 
Real Magnificent is a reflection on the Belle Epoque of the late 80’s / Early 90’s where anything and everything was possible. The music, the clubs, the fashion, the design, everything was hand made with a love and naivety that was of the moment. Unscripted, unapologetic and unadulterated…until it wasn’t. A thing of pure joy that will live forever !
Remix duties fall to up and coming DJ/Producer sLEdger (Robin Dallison) who is carving out his own little niche somewhere between deep electronic, indie dance and balearic music.
sLEdger has released under various disguises, on labels like Tici Taci, Pegdoll, and Global Underground gaining support from people like Annie Nightingale & Mary Anne Hobbs on BBC Radio 1, Laurent Garnier, Nick Warren, Ashley Beedle , John Digweed, Bushwacka, Maceo Plex etc… sLEdger's recent release  ‘Popper’ was hailed as one of the tunes of 2024 at Sean Jonston's legendary ALFOS club night. sLEdger has also DJ'd at seminal UK clubs like Back To Basics and Turnmills.
sLEdgers remix is a low slung, epic monster which really captures the theme of the original, that of a beautiful time in one’s life coming to an end.
 
Flukes History:
 
Rewind: Fluke’s first mark was back in the early 90’s through their acclaimed white labels Thumper, Joni and Philly which led to them signing with Alan McGee’s Creation label and the release of The Techno Rose of Blighty. After performing two BBC Radio 1 sessions with John Peel they then joined the Circa label, released four further albums, Six Wheels on my Wagon, Oto, Risotto and Progressive History X followed by Puppy, released through One Little Indian records.
Enjoying chart successes with their own material, they also remixed artists such as The Rolling Stones, Bjork, Yello, New Order, Tears for Fears, Smashing Pumpkins ,Talk Talk, Pop Will Eat Itself and more…During this period their music was also heavily licensed for TV and featured in films such as The Matrix, Tomb Raider, Behind Enemy lines, Batman, Sin City, The Saint and various games such as Need For Speed, Wipeout, and FiFa…
Real Magnificent marks Fluke’s second release linked to a project provisionally named Firebird with various tracks and collaborations over the coming months.
“if you build it, they will come ….”

* LANCE GURISIK SET TO RELEASE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED SOPHOMORE ALBUM "PROFFER" (AFTER CLINCHING 'ALBUM OF THE MONTH' IN THE GUARDIAN WITH HIS DEBUT ALBUM LAST YEAR)*

Lance Gurisik

Proffer

Label: PIAS

Release: Digital - 23/08/24 - Physical - 23/09/24

 

Video (First single ‘Welter’):

 

Info:

ARIA Award-nominated Sydney-based composer and electronic artist Lance Gurisik released today his much-anticipated sophomore album, PROFFER, on August 23, 2024, under his Sydney-based label 33 Sides, with global distribution through Inertia/PIAS. Gurisik's music blends jazz, electronica, and contemporary orchestral elements, earning him critical acclaim and multiple awards, including two APRA Screen Awards. His innovative compositions continue pushing modern music's boundaries, offering listeners a unique and immersive experience.

Gurisik's debut album, CULL PORTAL, was celebrated for its modern-fusion take on modal jazz with electronic influences. It featured Australian saxophonist Jeremy Rose and garnered widespread recognition, including being nominated for Best Jazz Album at the ARIAs and named The Guardian UK's Contemporary Album of the Month.

PROFFER is a psychedelic fusion record that blends eclectic musical influences. Drawing inspiration from German krautrock hero Manuel Göttsching, French synth legends AIR, minimalist composer Terry Riley, and classical composers Ralph Vaughan Williams and Alexander Scriabin, Proffer is a maximalist exploration of experimental electronic, jazz, and modern classical forms.

The album features collaborations with Lamorna Nightingale from Australia's premier Ensemble Offspring on alto and bass flute, Nick Meredith on drums and percussion, a 16-piece string section performed by Ian Cooper on violins and violas, Paul Ghica on Viola da Gamba and cellos, and Lance himself on modular synth and keyboards.

PROFFER challenges the prevailing norms in the music industry, advocating for music as a vehicle of escapism and self-exploration through active listening. The album’s maximalist approach to composition and production pushes the boundaries of where experimental electronic, jazz, and modern classical forms meet, creating an adventurous and cinematic listening journey.

The album's visual experience is equally compelling, designed to enhance the auditory journey of PROFFER through stunning visual storytelling. For the "Welter" music video, Lance collaborated with Chinese-American visual artist Danski Tang, renowned for her exquisite 2D hand-drawn animation. Tang's work on "Welter" brings a dreamlike quality to the music, creating a mesmerising blend of fluid, intricate drawings that mirror the album’s psychedelic fusion and transcendence themes. Her animation captures the ethereal and abstract elements of Gurisik's composition, pulling viewers into a surreal, immersive world where sound and sight meld seamlessly.

Additionally, for the tracks "Prednisone" and "Glut," Gurisik partnered with experimental visual artist Morgan Beringer, based in London. Beringer’s distinctive style, which often incorporates abstract digital techniques and glitch aesthetics, perfectly complements the album’s exploration of surrealism and escapism. His visuals for these tracks push the boundaries of conventional music videos, using dynamic and sometimes disorienting imagery to reflect the complex layers and shifting tones of Gurisik's music.

These collaborations are not just ancillary to the music but are integral to the overall experience of PROFFER. By engaging with pioneering visual artists, Gurisik ensures that the album’s release is a multi-sensory experience, inviting audiences to explore the intersections of music, animation, and digital art. This holistic approach underscores Gurisik's commitment to pushing creative boundaries and offering fans a rich, immersive journey that extends beyond traditional listening. The synergy between Gurisik’s innovative compositions and the cutting-edge visual artistry of Tang and Beringer promises to make PROFFER a landmark project in contemporary music and art.

Tici Taci Records Release ' Popper ' By sLEdger - One of The Tunes Of The Year At 'A Love From Outer Space' The Club Night Set Up By Andrew Weatherall, And Sean Johnston

tici taci 088 - sLEdger - Popper

tici taci is very happy to welcome long established DJ/producer sLEdger (aka Rob Dallison) to the roster. Rob is a London based DJ/producer with a long history and a pedigree to match. His productions have had mainstream media support from the likes of John Digweed, Mary Anne Hobbs, Annie Nightingale, and Ashley Beedle on Radio 1. His first release as slEdger (Softcatle for the Pegdoll label) gained widespread support from a diverse selection of DJ luminaries like Nick Warren, Luke Una, Ashley Beedle, Sean Johnston, Timo Maas and Jon Carter to name a few, and led to remix work for a number of artists including Boy George and psyche rock band Strange Pill.

Rob now brings sLEdger to tici taci with "Popper" - driven by the bass and guitar of Andy Moore (LOHILO) this dubby bouncing mid-tempo indie-dance swirler is proving to be an absolute monster at Sean Johnston's ALFOS parties - in Sean's own words "destined to be an ALFOS classic".

The original version comes with a guitar mix, pushing Andy's guitar to the fore.

sLEdger's Popper is available to LISTEN & DOWNLOAD HERE:
