Marcus H whose main project is Soiled. Live project Warped Freqs first gig was on 28/1/2016 at the House of Blah Blah in Middlesbrough. More gigs to follow and offical releases.
Here are some reviews for last Soiled release Splices and Phases
Sideline magazine - Soiled remains experimental-like, but the sound is accessible for all lovers of minimal electronic experiences.
The Quietus - It is a rather unique, loose, expressionistic collage style yet manages to keenly infer a peculiarly English style of strange fiction.
Hynagogue music blog - Splices and Phases is quite content to punch you in the ears and then ask what you thought of it. Its appeal will be limited, but it can’t be denied that there is a lot of work going on. Noisy, distorted, disjointed work, but work nonetheless. Experimental music fans should definitely tune in
A Closer Listen music blog - An unusual album from an enigmatic artist, Splices and phases delivers on the promise of its title by including multiple genres, Where else might one encounter anger and sadness, curiosity and resignation in one instrumental set?
Starting with homemade scribbled cd'rs to Future Music in 2003, more homemade cd-rs made their way onto BBC Freakzone, Radio 3 Mixing it and Radio 1 Huw Stephens and were picked up by other stations. Disappoints and joy leads me to 2016 and the start of Warped Freqs.
Physical of cds, vinyl and tapes are rare. All full albums have been released Elm Lodge Records via a download outlet but some special one offs are on other labels. You can find 2007 album Shambolic Psychotic on cd. Old cd-r's are gem of a find as they were limited promo releases check Discogs
Shambolic Psychotic album:
Will Self - They seem quite pretty!
David Stubbs in Wire magazine - He processes old TV samples and gnarly Grunge loops, and sounds like he's prepared to get his fingernails grubby in the process. Synths fly about the mix like bluebottles, and there is a general air of ambient terrain subject to heavy showers of old junk. All quite refreshing really, in its reversion to long neglected tactics.
Slothmotion album reviews:
Sonic Curiosity (USA) - These compositions exemplify an attempt to inject ilbient songs with traditional elements, a fusion that results in an engaging combination of disjointed elements coaxed into a melodic cooperation. Any attempt to lump them all together into one genre is simply impossible, as Soiled’s creativity wanders all over the musical map. The unifying thread is the musician’s determination to explore uncharted territory in pursuit of sonic entertainment.
Tasty Fanzine (UK) - We live in an age where nearly all music is a soundtrack, - it’s for going out and dancing, it’s for driving to, it’s incidental to your favourite TV show, it’s on your iPod while you go running. But like some kind of warped Vangelis, the found and synthesised sounds of Soiled demand that you listen to them purely for the sake of listening, and for that I applaud you sir
