BOOKINGS: skudge.music@gmail.com


The rhythm, the groove and faith in simplicity. All of them are hallmarks of Skudge. Started as a duo in 2009, the project is now a solo effort (with live performance help from another individual). The Skudge universe has come a long way from the anonymous and humble beginnings to world-wide recognition through the labels Skudge Records, Skudge Presents and Skudge White.

Right from the start, the main output has been on Skudge’s own label. This resulted in a Berghain live set right after the first release of Skudge Records. 

A steady string of vinyl releases followed, with remix EP’s in conjunction of their own work. Their unique take on music also produced EP’s on Dekmantel and Indigo Area as well as remixes on a wide array of talented artists such as Donato Dozzy, Anthony „Shake“ Shakir, Instra:mental, Ben Sims, among others.

The fine sense of loops, detail and taste have reached people for almost a decade. Be it through their EP’s or albums, hardware focused live sets which has been performed at numerous clubs and events world-wide or by way of recognized labels and podcasts: one thing remains, which is that the Skudge artistry and label are here to stay.

While many of his peers have faded into irrelevance or bloated into mainstream mediocrity, Eddie has remained at the forefront of cutting edge underground dance music, Often regarded as ‘the DJs DJ’, Eddie’s insatiable appetite for new music has meant he’s always one step ahead of the game, as his relentless schedule of gigs, remixes and original productions proves. The world of dance music may change with bewildering speed, but one thing remains constant: somewhere, Eddie Richards will be rocking the party.

In a spaceship powered by natural sounds I smiled, agreed, and we left for the place that is full of the reasons for time and space. He said, "I dream of colour music, and the intricacies of the machines that make it possible". I said, "You're nothing if not inconsistent" - he said, "I rely upon being insistent. 
I'm almost never forever - I'm almost never for now.

New waves, old tapes, and geo-shapes for the brains. Birds for the Mind is a mix series curated by Muk aka @Origamihirn.

Leo Chadburn is a London-based composer whose unpredictable work includes music for ensembles, music for film and installation art, and solo performances that merge his voice with electronic music. It has been broadcast on BBC Radio 1, 3 and 6 Music. His discography includes seven solos albums, the most recent of which are the spoken word and drone piece The Subject / The Object (2020) and the acclaimed Slower / Talker (2021). 

He was previously also known by the pseudonym Simon Bookish, under which guise he released a sequence of albums of subversive “avant-pop”, alongside remixes for artists including Grizzly Bear, Owen Pallett and Serafina Steer.
 
Much of Leo’s work from the last decade is preoccupied with the musicality of speaking voices. These include Five Loops for the Bathyscaphe (2017) written for the Britten Sinfonia and English Dancing Master (2023) for Phaedra Ensemble. He won an Ivor Novello Award for his piece Freezywater, written for Apartment House, and was nominated for a second award for Affix Stamp Here, written for EXAUDI.
 
His collaborative work with visual artists includes projects with Cerith Wyn Evans (Irish Museum of Modern Art), Marianna Simnett (Serpentine Gallery), Richard Grayson (Matt's Gallery), Jennet Thomas (Grundy Gallery) and Jasleen Kaur (V&A).

Giorgio Sancristoforo is a sound artist, teacher, software developer, author and esotericist born in Italy in 1974. He's a member of the Prisma International Composers' Group and expert artist of the European Commission.
