Pye Corner Audio

The moody, retro-futuristic project of Martin Jenkins, Pye Corner Audio evokes the mystery of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop and John Carpenter as well as the electro of Drexciya and classic Detroit techno. Early on, the suspenseful sounds of his self-released Black Mill Tapes Vol.1: Avant Shards in 2010 captured the attention of fans of Demdike Stare, Ekoplekz, and the Ghost Box roster. By the time of his debut for that label, 2012's Sleep Games, beats and melodies were as prominent in his music as his flair for unearthly atmospheres, a trend that continued on his trilogy of sci-fi inspired albums, 2016's Stasis, 2019's Hollow Earth, and 2021's Entangled Routes. Jenkins kept his gifts for mood-making and sound-shaping front and center whether he opted for a dramatic change of pace with the sunny, wide-open psychedelia of 2022's Let's Emerge! or returned to dystopian visions on 2024's The Endless Echo.
