More detailed description of The Centrifuge

The Centrifuge (www.TheCentrifuge.co.uk) is a UK based not-for-profit electronic arts collective, hosting incendiary live experimental music events in London, Berlin, Nottingham, Manchester and Leeds over 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 the ranks to complete their diverse creative offering.
