Marconi Union at The Cube
GA - Seated

A gig held at The Cube on Saturday 14th June. The event starts at 19:00.


Marconi Union continue to side step traditional genres forging their own path. In their music can be found hints of Dub, Jazz, Ambience, Minimal Techno and Electronica which are blended together with melodies to give a unique atmospheric vibe. Their new material has been described vicariously as Electronic Head Music or a new Electronic Shoegaze.

They frequently draw comparisons to artists such as Kraftwerk, Brian Eno, Biosphere and Boards of Canada, while at the same time moulding these influences into their own distinct sound.

Marconi Union have worked with many artists including Jah Wobble, Max Richter, Biosphere, Steve Jansen (Japan) and Marina Ambramovich Institute. The group have previously played at a variety of festivals and events, notably Big Chill festival and Punkt! Festival in Norway, the latter at the invitation of Brian Eno where they we asked to play live re-mixes of the previous performer’s works.

At this show they will be playing 2 sets.

Set 1: Alternate versions of selected works.
Set: 2: A new album in full.

We hope to have some copies of a new album available at the show along with some very limited merch.

“Minimal, introspective, ethereal electronica – gorgeous” – The Guardian.

“Exquisite, subtle soundscapes, an essential purchase for ambient addicts” – DJ Mag

“Brilliant, but why do they play this size of venue, it’s like some dirty little secret, it’s fantastic” – Andrew Vevers

Entry requirements: 18+
