RaNDom is an electro-dub project started by Matt B and Ian Hartley in
winter 2003 in Tokyo.Shortly after in spring 2004 they released a
critically acclaimed demo 'Cuts One',a mix of electronica and dub
cuts.
Following the overwhelmingly positive response to their independently
released e.p 'Point Two' in winter 2004,RaNDom have since taken a
subtle shift in direction by including in their line up tabla player
Shinsuke Inoue(a long term student of the revered Kul Bhushan
Bhargava).
Adding this new percussive drive and flexibility to their other live
instrumentation and digital manipulation has continued to make
RaNDom's
live appearances(from London's Alexandra Palace to Tokyo's Womb)such a
success.It has also ensured their tracks are regularly
played by chill out luminaries such as Nova(Ultimae Records)and Gaudi
(Interchill Records).
RaNDom's tracks have been released so far on Em:t records (seminal UK ambient label) , Interchill (Canada) , Native State Rec (U.S.) , System Recordings (U.S.) , Celestial Dragon (HK).
RaNDom have been playing around the globe with a talented roster of electronic music artists such as Youth,Gaudi,Kaya Project,DJ FOod,Talving Sigh ,OTT to name a few.
The new album is due to be released in oct 2007 on Celestial Dragon ( www.sonic-dragon.com) .
