Fragmentation

Sounds From NoWhere welcomes aboard the Canadian duo Orphx (Sonic Groove / HANDS).

Orphx have been creating their unique fusion of rhythm and noise since the mid 90s, combining elements of techno with the experimental techniques and critical spirit of industrial music.
The project was founded in 1993 by Rich Oddie, Christina Sealey, and Aron West, who began creating improvised soundscapes and audio/visual performances inspired by early industrial music, grindcore, and power electronics. 
Following cassette releases on their own Xcreteria label, West departed to focus on absurdist noise project Tropism while Oddie and Sealey began to push Orphx in a more rhythmic direction. 
Their distinctive sound used powerful layered rhythms, modulating soundscapes, and processed vocals and samples to explore themes of psychological conflict and social control. 

Orphx have refined their sound across numerous releases and many changes in tools and techniques, moving from reel to reel tape machines and homemade instruments to software sequencing and processing, and then back again to hardware following Sealey's adoption of modular synthesizers in 2008. 
Oddie and Sealey are renowned for delivering improvised live performances that combine modular synth, drum machines, software, and live vocals. 
They have toured throughout Europe, North America, Japan, and China, appearing at international festivals such as Berlin Atonal, Katharsis, Labyrinth, Mutek Montréal, Rural, and Unsound, and regularly performing at techno temples such as Berghain / Panorama Bar, Tresor, and KHIDI. 

Their work has been featured in films and documentaries, including I Dream of Wires (2014) and Soundtrack for the Urban Decay (2015). 
In recent years, they have been working on new audio-visual performances using infrasound and multi-channel speaker systems, working in collaboration with video artist Patrick Trudeau and McMaster University's Institute for Music and the Mind. 

We are delighted to share with you this incredible mix signed by the Canadian' electronic duo.

Razing the boundaries between post-punk-minded industrialism, dusty hardware hoodoo and noise-adjacent explorations of electronics’ wilder end, Canadian outfit Orphx has been dishing out some of the finest slabs in recent times when it comes to bringing along that steely, sedition-inducing warehouse ruckus in town. Showering hazardously riotous brainwaves upon crowds of unsuspecting ravers as they subjugate your eardrums to a tempest of rough-edged sines, warlike percussions and filthy analogue whorls, Orphx know no rest in putting your senses to the test throughout a vortical parade of foaming, rumble-ready techno madness. Lock in, zone out.

STATIQBLOOM Live At SO36, Berlin

[ EVE SCHWARZ ]

Infected by the late 90s Schranz wave Eve cannot deny her Frankfurt/Main roots and the affection for dirty underground bangers. 

Her ongoing search for raw, edgy tunes reflecting the typical intensity of her sets however has taken her across various European scenes and genres. Industrial noise, combined with straight techno elements and distorted breaks might define her signature sound. Although a good dose of unpredictability and experimental challenge underline her diverse artistic appearance.
After residencies in her home city Frankfurt (Tanzhaus West) and Cologne (Uncut), hosting several events at the side of electro master Anthony Rother, and seeing many venues of her early DJ years vanish one after another, Eve settled over to Berlin with the intention to keep growing behind the decks and to steadily develop her musical output.

While being a regular player in local places such as Tresor, Aeden, Renate, Kitkat or OHM the focus is currently shifting to studio works, her side project LIIneas and several upcoming releases with a variety of international labels and musicians around the end of the year and in 2025.

One of the most highly respected acts in both techno and industrial circles, Orphx (Rich Oddie and Christina Sealey) have been refining their signature fusion of hypnotic rhythms and experimental noise for many years. They began in the early 90s with a raw sound inspired by old school industrial but soon began incorporating elements of dub, techno and electro into their work. Orphx built up an international following as one of the pioneering acts within the European "rhythmic noise" scene. More recently their work has come to the attention of techno fans through a series of acclaimed releases on the Sonic Groove label, collaborative work with the likes of Ancient Methods and Justin Broadrick, and remixes for many artists including Front Line Assembly, Oscar Mulero, Perc, and Conrad Schnitzler.

Oddie and Sealey have performed around the world at celebrated venues like Berghain and Tresor, and festivals such as Berlin Atonal, Movement, Mutek, and Unsound. They are renowned for their improvised performances, combining software with modular synthesizers and other hardware. Building on a sprawling back catalogue that stretches across industrial, ambient, and techno, their recent output has demonstrated that Orphx are both pioneers and innovators in the fusion of rhythm and noise.
