The illustrious electronic duo Orbital is one of the greatest veteran acts in the entire music industry. Made up of two innovative brothers, Phil and Paul Hartnoll, Orbital has come a long way since recording their first debut single “Chime” in their parents’ house back in 1990. Together, this dynamic pair has redefined electronic music and inspired hundreds of professional artists over their extensive careers.
With a wide range of talent in production and live performances, Orbital has worked with the genius minds of Madonna, Kraftwerk, Professor Stephen Hawking, and many more. Their historic auditory masterpieces have been re-woked in recent years by the likes of the ANNA, Eli Brown, and other modern techno phenoms. More than 30 years after breaking out onto the electronic scene, Orbital is approaching the release of their 10th studio album, Optical Delusion, which is set to release in early 2023.
Foreshadowing this exciting milestone, Orbital has dropped a brand new collab, “Dirty Rat” with eccentric artist Sleaford Mods. Accompanied by a mesmerizing music video, the track encompasses Sleaford’s lively vocals that call out for action. Fueled by a kinetic, techno-driven bassline, “Dirty Rat” blends elements of heavy electronic and punk rock while making a powerful statement to listeners. This electrifying single is a promise to Orbital’s supporters that the duo will continue to dominate the communities of acid house and techno.
