Live from London - Brainfeeder Sessions, Fabric

Daedelus

Ninja Tune, Los Angeles

Alfred Darlington isn't your average cookie-cutter musician. From how he looks (early Victorian Dandyism), to how he makes music, to how he expresses himself and views the world, his is a very individual, a 'bespoke' outlook. Alfred was born in Santa Monica in 1977 to an artist mother and psychologist father. Less a prodigy than a renaissance boy whose obsessions ranged from Greek legend to the mountains of Wales, until he was a teenager he was convinced he'd grow up to be an inventor. As a 15 year old though, he finally persuaded his parents to take him to Wales and whilst in a YMCA in London, he flipped the radio dial, found a pirate radio station and taped some UK rave and hardcore. Ever since, Daedelus has been re-inventing the possibilities of 'electronic' music with albums on Mush, Plug Research, Laboratory Instinct, Ninja Tune, and soon Brainfeeder.
