Nick Edwards’ staggering body of work as Ekoplekz amalgamates a wide variety of influences, including industrial pioneers Cabaret Voltaire, experimental dub, techno, and the formative electronic experiments of the BBC Radio Workshop. He named the Ekoplekz project after the Eko organ he found in a charity shop in 2010.
First releasing his jagged and dark electronics through a string of self-released CD-Rs and cassettes during the early 2010s, he gained a word-of-mouth following and began issuing his work through labels like Mordant Music, Punch Drunk and Planet Mu.
