Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Dark textural ambient made using magic mushroom data from family graves. That’s Alex H Duncan, just one of Irregular Patterns’ musical outliers on this night including The Dark Jazz Project (chaotic free jazzcore) and lo-fi pop auteur The Hydrogen Trees. Essential introduction to a strange new world for fans of: Biosphere, Gas, Painkiller, Daniel Johnston, Bohren & der Club of Gore. "

Irregular Patterns: We are a development label operating on a not-for-profit basis. Irregular Patterns turns the traditional record label setup on its head. The inversion can be simply described as: the record label working for the artist. What this means is that artists retain 100% of their rights and royalties and agree to pay Irregular Patterns a share after income is earned - It’s a trust thing.

Alex H Duncan: Subcubensis Live - Plant wave pulses emanating from magic mushrooms discovered on his father’s grave. The midi data collected from those magic mushrooms now provide the source for his new album Subcubensis. “Considering his very nutrients and molecules were growing in those mushrooms, this album feels like a paean to my father,” says Alex. Alex H Duncan creates music that is, well, just different, because it’s of a non-human origin. It’s a creative world where humans tread very carefully.
The Subcubensis album is available on Irregular Patterns:

The Dark Jazz Project: A new musical adventure from musician and composer Andrew Spackman (SAD MAN, Nimzo- Indian). DJP brings his typically quixotic and mercurial approach, fusing Jazzcore, free improvisation, dark ambience into a melting pot of noise and rhythmic chaos to create dark and unsettled landscapes.
DJP’s first EP is available via Irregular Frequencies (sub label of Irregular Patterns):

The Hydrogen Trees: The mysterious Hydrogen Trees are a Scarborough based, analogue, audio-visual project. Utilising defunct recording machines, obsolete cassette porta studios, dictaphones, photography and mobile phone videos.
Their self-produced debut EP Back Down Woe Betide Ravine revels in surreal
austerity. A vision of fiberglass seahorses and broken light bulbs cut through with northern wit, beautifully laconic storytelling charm and honestly.
