The Centrifuge – ‘live electronics can be real’

Description of The Centrifuge (in 3rd Person)

The Centrifuge (www.TheCentrifuge.co.uk) is a UK based not-for-profit digital arts collective, hosting incendiary live experimental electronic music events in London, Nottingham, Manchester and Leeds in the last 2 years. In addition to this they operate a netlabel, releasing 2 free EPs/albums per month through their website. Both of these activities are supported by their large artist roster and strong collaborative and community ethic.

The Centrifuge’s musical and artistic focus is broad, revolving around the utilisation of an experimental aesthetic to continue to push back the perceived boundaries of live performance. Their main activities are musically-focussed; however they also have visual artists, programmers, engineers, hardware bend-makers and designers amongst their ranks to complete their diverse creative offering.

In the past year a selection of their events have hosted the following notable artists:
