Pye Corner Audio

Pye Corner Audio, the brainchild of Martin Jenkins, combines a retro-futuristic sound that draws from influences such as the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, John Carpenter, Drexciya, and Detroit techno. Jenkins' self-released Black Mill Tapes Vol.1: Avant Shards in 2010 garnered attention from fans of Demdike Stare, Ekoplekz, and Ghost Box, leading to a successful debut on Ghost Box with 2012's Sleep Games, followed by a trilogy of sci-fi inspired albums. Jenkins, also known as the Head Technician, has explored various experimental sounds under different aliases, collaborating with artists like Silent Servant and Not Waving.

Emerging from the "British Cosmic Music" scene in the mid-2000s, Pye Corner Audio has evolved its sound with a mix of ambient, experimental, and danceable elements. Jenkins' releases on labels like Type and Ghost Box have been met with critical acclaim, showcasing a range of influences from house and disco to eerie atmospheres. His 2021 album, Entangled Routes, and subsequent release, Let's Emerge!, exhibit a shift towards sunny psychedelia and shoegaze, demonstrating Jenkins' versatility as a producer. The Endless Echo, released in 2024 on Ghost Box, delves into shadowy meditations on the concept of time, solidifying Pye Corner Audio's reputation for crafting immersive, genre-defying music.
