SYSTEM 7 - A New Day Festival 2023

'System 7 is a band based around Steve Hillage and Miquette Giraudy.
We released our first System 7 record in August 1990, and since then have released 11 albums and a string of singles with some classic remixes.
We are one of the few techno groups to feature the electric guitar (with the sound often heavily processed), and to have a female synthesiser player.
We have been part of the development of Techno and Ambient music for many years, and our mission is to continue with that process.
Many of our tracks are made with guest collaborators - DJs and members of other groups.
We have developed a live performance approach that is a bit more extreme than our records, with tougher beats and hypnotic live echo loops.
Since 2005 we have also developed our chill out and downtempo sister project Mirror System
We oppose frontiers and rigid divisions, both within the music scene and in the world at large. We feel part of a musical movement of dance-based rhythms and psychedelic ambience that embraces the whole planet, and through our friends and collaborators we seek a network of highly creative people.'

Been a giant fan of Steve's since before Gong - even have Azrael on CD! Space Shanty, Green, all of it jams. Then he went into electronica w Miquette and I loved the music even more. Combination of prog sensibilities w arps and beats. What's not to love?

Seen them loads of times and this is excellent. If they play the Hebden bridge trades club again don’t miss them they are always good there and the venue is lovely.

Beyond Gong.

[@dwayneandrews2059]

Mind is a little cloudy but isn't some of this on U.F.Orb? Sounds damn close but haven't listened to that album in years. Regardless, nice set.

[@Chromexus]

Not sure myself BUT Hillage played with Orb during that period-he was one of the writers of "Blue Room" so not surprising
