Pendle Coven (Live)
Saturday
Nestled in the shadow of the infamous Hill of the same name, Pendle
Coven is a collective project overseen by Gary Howell and Miles
Whittaker. They were first brought together by the sounds of all forms
of electronic music, especially techno, electro, old skool hardcore and
early UK electronic producers like Aphex Twin and Autechre.
They are dedicated to producing underground electronic music of all
genres through experimentation and collaboration, with the target being
the dancefloor. The original building blocks were Miles' vinyl obsession
and the musicianship of Gary. Pendle Coven have remained under the radar
of mainstream electronic music by scattering their releases and having
strict quality control exercised by Modern Love. Recently their music
has taken a very techno route, sitting alongside label mates Andy Stott
and Claro Intelecto perfectly, and they have begun to take their live
sets through Europe as well as the UK. Pendle Coven are also known for
Miles' legendary DJ set's, fusing all forms of dancefloor music together
for the crowd's delight. They have played at Sonar twice, Berlin's
Panorama Bar, Barcelona's Apollo Club, Zurich's Zukunft Club,
Benicassim, and various underground festival's and parties.
