“The authors of the mix are Sean Canty and Miles Whittaker, a British experimental electronic music duo who sculpts obscure masterworks under the metaphorical Demdike Stare moniker (Demdike was the most famous of the Pendle witches). Successfully debuted in the 2009 with an enigmatic album named “Symbiosis”, a project effectively continued to impress die-hard music lovers with their expressive sound collages. Remaining loyal to the prolific Modern Love record label, Demdike Stare has now released 5 critically acclaimed albums and numerous singles. Their occult soundtracks are based on gloomy ambiance, penetrating melodic cuts and abyssal rhythm textures that are often enriched with fragments of world music. However, their 2013 “Testpressing” vinyl’s trilogy examines much wider palette of sounds ranging from jungle, deep house style beats to industrial, noise motives. Accompanied by Andy Votel‘s (Finders Keepers Records) symbolic artworks and suggestive visuals from retro horror or surrealistic movies, Demdike Stare keeps a well-balanced stylistic integrity. Their live shows are like unexplored narratives, that always surprise with their improvised rhythmic / atmospheric lines and cinematic sense. Demdike Stare also curates Pre-Cert label. It is important to mention that Whittaker is one half of Pendle Coven (with Gary Howell) and also produces music under MLZ, Suum Cuique and Miles pseudonyms. His newest release “Faint Hearted” surely pretends to be on the Secret Thirteen best albums of the year list.”
