"My real gift is arrangement." William Orbit opens up on his 40-year career. 
Share

Born in Hackney, London, in 1956, Orbit has been writing, producing and arranging music for four decades. With almost 1,200 credits to his name on Discogs, his vast and varied body of work spans classical, pop and electronic. He produced for some of pop music's most seminal artists—Madonna, All Saints, Blur, Robbie Williams, Pink—as well as being, as his interviewer Matt McDermott explains, "one of the most prolific electronic music remixers of the '90s." He released 11 solo albums and seven collaborative albums—as part of Torch Song, Strange Cargo and Bassomatic—and founded Guerilla Studios in the '80s, working with artists like Cabaret Voltaire and Gary Numan. In 1995, Orbit released the Pieces In A Modern Style LP, which paved the way for musicians like Nils Frahm and Jon Hopkins, who bring together classical arrangements with electronic production in revelatory ways. 

The journalist Kate Hutchinson described Orbit as "the Mark Ronson or Jack Antonoff of his day." But as this conversation with RA highlights, Orbit is once again enjoying his day. Having, in his own words, "spent 20 years becoming disengaged," he has just put out his first solo release in seven years—the Sunbeam EP on Anjunadeep—and things are feeling good. "I know how to have fun," he said. 

In conversation with McDermott, Orbit shares stories about his fascinating career, how to make a great record, working with Madonna and how to stay relevant in a fickle industry.

Tune in for her take on ambient and downtempo, showcasing her softer side.

on the flipside w/ Barbu, Twodoor & Platida - 25th March 2024

Well, what is this? Simply said, this mix is a blend of ambient and downbeat music that is supposed to be both soothing and challenging. Listening back, it feels like diving deep into a fluorescent, sparkling abyss. 

I'm a fan of static and otherworldly drones and soundscapes. And so I've included key tracks from artists such as Bohren & Der Club Of Gore, The Necks, Madlib’s self-centred super group Yesterdays New Quintet and the great Jan Jelinek, among many others.
