Andrew Diey [Black Faction] works professionally as a composer and sound designer for TV, Film, and computer games.

“Black Faction are a breed apart from the average electronica outfit. Their dark, expansive soundscapes have an edge and drive that puts them firmly in the kind of lineage that stretches from the 'industrial' experiments of Zoviet France to the brutal electrofunk of Cabaret Voltaire through to the ethnodub of Muslimgauze.

Despite the music's digital origins, Black Faction's Andrew Diey infuses his material with the organic qualities of tape composition (he studied musique concrete technique) and approaches his material with a surgeon's deliberation.” (Peter Marsh, ‘Black Faction Reworked ’ http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/experimental/reviews/blackfac_rework.shtml)

Live
We are delighted to announce a VERY RARE and unique UK appearance by Black Faction. Black Faction will perform a live mix of Black Faction and exclusive Muslimgauze [RIP] recordings. It should be noted that the set has been created from material which has never been released, heard or performed before.

The 45 minute Black Faction set will launch the first ULTRASOUND Festival at The Media Centre, and will be performed in the darkened space of the Medialounge.
