‘The Wonky Sessions: Volume 1’, the first compilation album from Wonky Plonk Electronk, brings together a remarkable collective of artists pushing the boundaries of sound. Featuring renowned and unconventional artists Mieko Shimizu, Dhangsha, Shape Navigator, Analogue Mechanic, and the late Gagarin, ‘The Wonky Sessions: Volume 1′ is a bold exploration of experimental sound, weaving together intricate glitchy rhythms, immersive ambience, and absorbing sonic textures that stand firmly outside convention.
Right from the glitch-infused urgency of Mieko Shimizu’s arresting opener ‘Space Colony Death’, ‘The Wonky Sessions: Volume 1’ carries you through hypnotic journey through the outer edges of experimental sound. Dhangsha injects a jolt of raw adrenaline with the pulsing intensity of ‘Elbit Crushed’, before the album descends into a dreamlike haze, guided by Gagarin’s intricate, atmospheric textures on ‘Margate Illuminati’ and Shape Navigator’s deeply immersive synth soundscapes. Drifting into the finale, Analogue Mechanic’s ‘Syntony PM’ envelops listeners in its expansive, meditative ambience, leaving listeners adrift in the boundless universe of Wonky Plonky Electronk.
The release of ‘The Wonky Sessions: Volume 1’ is a natural extension of Wonky Plonky Electronk’s commitment to showcasing the UK’s most innovative experimental artists. Featuring musicians who have previously performed at a Wonky Plonky Electronk night, capturing the raw energy and boundary-pushing spirit that have defined Wonky’s live events across London, Margate, Ramsgate, and Brighton. As Wonky continues to tour across the UK, this album is set to offer a sonic snapshot of the vibrant experimental music community it has helped cultivate.
Wonky Plonky Electronk are dedicating this debut release to Gagarin. Gagarin, or Graham ‘Dids’ Dowdall, sadly passed away last year, leaving behind a legacy of fearless sonic exploration and innovation. Travel well, Spaceman.
