🎵 Electronic
The Emperor Machine is Andy Meecham, producer extraordinaire and erstwhile member of dance music legends Bizarre Inc., dub disco aficionados Chicken Lips and punk funk dark horses Big Two Hundred. The Emperor Machine is Andy’s most passionate project that sees his fetishism for analogue synthesizers and radiophonic noise spilling out of his studio and into the world.
With over thirteen releases for DC Recordings, including two albums, in less than five years, not to mention remixes of everyone from Moby to Daft Punk, Royksopp to Stephen Malkmus, The Emperor Machine has rapidly ascended to cult status, with each 12” single becoming the focus of collectors and DJs alike, adorned as they are with the iconic graphic art of La Boca.
2008 has seen the advent of The Emperor Machine Live for the first time ever. Recruiting a cast of the finest musicians and visual artists, Meecham has put together an awe inspiring live act that blends his distinctive analogue sound with the fervor and psychedelia of live drums and guitar respectively, plus visuals which animate the sumptuous artwork with which The Emperor Machine has become associated.
