ROBIN STEWART(Howling Owl)
1/4 of The Naturals -
“as textural as it is deafening. They can make guitars sound like anything, and often do; sometimes delicate, sometimes brutal, sometimes sanguine, but always beautiful.”
1/2 of Giant Swan -
“a sound pallet that you would think could only be created under the weight of arctic ice, deep mantra and other world industrial machinery … it's all the more remarkable when you realise it's created entirely from two guitars, some pedals and an echo voice box.”

EKOPLEKZ (Punch Drunk / Feral Tapes)
“He explores the possibilities of a weather-beaten analogue set-up, routing signals though a mass of cables and decaying machines and taking advantage of, rather than attempting to hide, their inherent flaws.” - The Quietus

HICHA
Reinterpreting club music and sound system aesthetics in a beatless form. “floating through elegant forms with subtle resonances speaking to each other in an unknown language” - RwfFwd
