Lifecycle

Live electronica 3-piece from east London, fusing broken beats and psychedelia with improvised digital manipulation

“...Lifecycle make no musical secret of their roots in the breakbeat scene: drummer Nick and bassist Tish make a prodigiously powerful rhythm section, their tribal beats recalling 23 Skidoo and ESG at their most energetic...” Uncut (7/10)

“...rolling rhythm patterns wind around sophisticated chords and a bass throb that feels like an ocean current. The use of suspense without obvious release is very well realised, and the feel is of pleasures almost too intense to bear. All in all, a seriously powerful release...” mixmag

“...uncharacterisable London trio ... Patterns isn’t quite world music, it’s not quite indie, it’s not quite electronica, it’s a fluid, flexible, unconventional rhythmic delight...” The Devil Has The Best Tuna

“...their new single sees them mix unconventional world-beat rhythms with jazzy bass and hints of rock to create something kaleidoscopic, esoteric and wonderful in equal doses...” The Metaphorical Boat “...sort of Black Market era Weather Report colliding with the echoes of Gong and whiffs of early Hawkwind … neither jazz nor rock nor electro but somehow a bit of all that...” Music Always Gives Me A Lift

“...well concealed, simmering jazzy undercurrents – there’s an invigorating intensity to Lifecycle’s work that’s hard to define and even harder to ignore...” Toxic Pete
