About Arctic Sunrise - UK LAPTOP BATTLE CHAMPION 09
Releasing under his own Airvent Media label and having tracks appear on UK label Audiobulb and Japanese label Mizukage, 31 year old Ashley Brown has been busy. His debut 7inch release was picked up by BBC Radio1s experimental queen Mary Anne Hobbs as a fantastic futuristic piece of electronic music. Independent press likened him to Squarepusher and Einoma and plans for his debut album to hit in 2010 should gather many other comparisons with his electronic heroes. He has had several releases on Airvent Media all of which have sold out to his small but growing army of fans.
Currently working on several audio projects which see him take in experimental idm, minimal tech and dubstep has seen rise to the demand for gigs in both art spaces and also rocking a dancefloor.

Not content with wowing crowds sonically he has turned his hand to visuals. Working using processing for digital graphics and with the aid of a hand assembled hardware box he likes to push the importance of more than 1 man behind a laptop. Custom 8 bit hardware visuals accompany the noise like tones from the robots he has built.
The ambient project performed for WEF involved the use of several hardware machines to deploy sonically and visually the sounds from inside the head of Arctic Sunrise. Software was combined to provide a digital and analog collision which created a contrasting yet harmonising beauty. The piece was a special one off show just for Warsaw.

Arctic Sunrise was recently crowned UK Laptop Battle Champion playing a unique blend of dubstep , infused with ravealicous synth lines that captured the corwds imagination.
The future looks sunny for Arctic Sunrise. A debut album due for release in 2010 and new releases on the Airvent sublabel and being signed to legendary Mille Plataeux will see him working on all forms of electronic music.
