Under the alias Daedelus, Alfred Darlington has been an instigator of electronic music culture for the past 25+ years. A fore-figure of Los Angeles' Beat Scene, they have released 20+ LPs, countless EPs, remixes, and additional productions on labels such as Ninja Tune, WARP, and Brainfeeder. As a performer they're synonymous with controllers, from the grid Monome to computer-free modular, and have played over 1,000+ shows on 6 continents at events ranging from Boilerroom to festival mainstages such as Coachella.

Dj at Dublab, founding faculty member for the Berklee College of Music's EDI (Electronic Digital Instrument) program, and S.E.T.I. artist in residence.

Daedelus has begun to live up to their Greek mythological namesake.

The Hellfire Orchestra are a rock band with both the punk spirit of folk music, and the folk spirit of punk music. They emerged unpredictably from the Smugglers Records world and - though recognizably formidable - found love most at the fringes of that scene, amongst those with a taste for the counter-cultural punk ethos. 

A few major world and personal life events, an as-yet unreleased 2nd album and the beginnings of a 3rd album later, and Hellfire are back in a new stride. Their newest chapter explores an even less dulcet side.

Percussive and noisey guitars, caustic drumming and pithy, snarling lyrical tapestry atop - they’ve stepped away from their initial folk parentage and now stand in intoxicating new territory

"Just once in a while an album comes along that takes you to places you hadn’t realise existed. Arlet’s Clearing did this, and much more, for me."
 - Folk Radio UK (Johnny Whalley)

"organic talent and feeling that bursts through with each track...they make the kind of wonderful, stirring, instrumental, orchestral music that not just folk music, but music in general, is founded."
 - Thank Folk For That (Josh King)

Arlet are a diverse group of Kent-based musicians, whose music is found somewhere between the folk club and the chamber music hall.

Propelled by the restless creativity of accordionist and composer Aidan Shepherd, their sound brings together all the primary colours of the orchestra - strings, woodwind and brass. A founding musical inspiration is a love of the joyful melodicism and rhythmic intensity of British Folk, but rather than viewing folk traditions as artefacts to be revered, Arlet have drawn on folk idioms as a route to their own brand of carefully sculpted, richly harmonic and lusciously textured music.

Sounding sometimes like a chamber quintet letting its hair down and finding a curious groove circa 1973, sometimes like a session band in the corner of a rural pub suddenly slipping through a vortex into another musical dimension...
