"Machine funk kraut-a-delia - it's rather lovely!" Andrew Weatherall

You’d be hard pressed to disagree with the seminal DJ and producer listening to ‘Keep Warm… with the Warm Digits’ (Distraction Records), an album that comes as though arriving from a distant time, where music still only saw limitless horizons and endless sonic possibilities. Warm Digits’ duo Andrew Hodson and Steve Jefferis’ bewitching debut LP is undoubtedly steeped in the lineage of the 1970s experimentalism of the likes of Neu!’s hypnotic repetition and the open-minded philosophies of Brian Eno, but it’s testament to the pair’s own broad visions that in 2012 these touch stones have been sculpted into a sound that retains a refreshing sense of modern vitality.

Hodson and Jefferis are a trans-Pennines collaborative project – something referenced by the title of the track ‘Trans-Pennine Express’ - with both having history as mainstays of Newcastle and the North East of England’s intimate but ever evolving music community. Though Andrew has since moved to the more traditional cultural powerhouse of Manchester, he retains close links with the region, recently collaborating with old friends, Sunderland’s Field Music, to help them record the unique ‘One Copy’ in the North West’s Lauriston Gallery. It’s an album whose sole copy is owned by the creators as a statement against the free streaming and sharing culture becoming dominant in music and Field Music’s David Brewis returned the favour to his old pal appearing here on bass. Hodson also runs Seed Studios in Trafford and has worked as a producer with the likes of Maximo Park’s Paul Smith and modern folk duo Cath and Phil Tyler among others.

Jefferis for his part comes from a more glitch-electronica background, something that remains evident within the vortex of Warm Digits enveloping sound; previous releases from him have come under the name Cathode for the likes of Expanding Records, Static Caravan and Distraction Records. Combined the pair have taken their previous wanderings to a new level; forming whilst both still living in Newcastle, they developed from a techno-influenced laptop duo into a more panoramic, texturally aware couple after trying their hand at live score work for Canadian film maker Norman McLaren. Rehearsals for this saw the opening developments of what is now a thrilling semi-improvised brew of metronomic rhythms, snowstorm guitar and radiophonic electronics, dual-laptop electro, swathes of no-wave guitar and frantic free jazz drumming. It says much for their openness and mastery of such dexterity that their debut LP easily manages to contain these myriad influences, working them into a cohesive whole.

With previous remix work for Unkle and Maximo Park, existing fans including BBC Radio 6music’s Marc Riley and a newly blossoming live show that’s seen the pair support Goblin and Modeselektor to name just two - their 21st century krautrock hybrid is more than capable of crossing over to the dance floor.  Warm Digits look set to take the centre stage themselves in 2012, with ‘Keep Warm With … The Warm Digits’ set to make them hot property in the months to come.

Described as 'hook-laden, futuristic prog', Mutant-Thoughts’ own brand of genre-defying rock is a cunningly original amalgam of Latin-influenced beats, brooding synthscapes and restless rhythmic energy.

'Clearly one of those of those rare acts that have the drive, mercurial inspiration and integrity to go forth and become a crucial staple and influence of the national experimental scene' - Noizze UK

Hello I'm Mark E Pitt. I am a Musician based in Bristol. 

I started playing instruments and DJing from young age, music fascinated me as did my record player and my mostly inherited collection of old vinyl. This is why I am so eclectic, I was listening to whatever fell into my collection. 70's heavy metal and disco, 60's soul and pop one hit wonders. 

As I got older I started to get more contemporary music, at the same time my interest in playing music via the guitar and other instruments also developed. Soon I started to hear about people playing records (DJs) as an instrument and that intrigued me, soon I was actually experimenting with scratching on my old Fidelity player with the auto-load arm getting in the way! Soon I was to discover house music and started getting little gigs and occasional mates parties, Chicago and Deep house really got me in those early years progressing onto more funkier sounds and mixing in indie, electronica and rock. 

I still play in bands  and instruments such as the bass, guitar, keyboards and drums but I keep my DJ hand in trying to keep up with new technology and new sounds. I still have that spark for new music that I had when I was younger, I still love old music too but new things excite me and my ears are always pricking up when something fresh and interesting comes along.

Versuchsanordnung: 
"It's our aim to paint images in your head!"


Versuchsanordnung (German for: experimental arrangement) stands for research on tones, molecular geometries of sound, destillates of incidental tonal sounds, be it in the form of compositions or pure improvisation.

Versuchsanordnung create sound impressions full of atmosphere aiming to paint pictures in your head. Versuchsanordnung also compose film scores when getting commissioned (they already did music for 3 films).

Versuchsanordnung is experimenting with unlikely forms of compositions and is a quite well-known unit for group-improvised music.
