The Orbalist Aka David Fernandez, is a producer originally from Cordoba, Spain now residing in Hackney. David's Passion lies with rhythm, groove and musical expression. Collaborating with musicians and other producers, David's productions range from Jazz fusion to Avan Garde House music. Working from impulse, The orbalist can't be defined by one genre. His music is characterised by his feelings and emotion in that specific moment in time.

Hackney's Producer/Multi-instrumentalist “The Orbalist” has been gently dropping his diverse music experiences into his solo debut album “Is this real life?”. Named “The Orbalist” by Nima from “Arrows of Love”, he began releasing singles in 2016.

This album blends Techno, Deep House, Avant-Garde, Synth-pop and the underlying shuffling rhythmic structure of UK Garage and 2-Step. Inspired by a natural flair for groove, he used to drive his parents crazy building beats by hitting things up. He mainly uses his own “Organic” samples, recorded at the studio out of a bicycle wheel, cardboard box, harmonica case, leatherman multi-tool, hand clap, tiger balm lid, shaker, cowbell, baoding balls, whistling and even rubbing two marble stones to get a vinyl background texture.
