YouTube video by Flange Circus Flange Circus - "Fabric Lughole Systems" (official video)

10 years to the day since we released our single "Fabric Lughole Systems" - relive the video here!

Looks like our invite to play Parklife is lost in the post... oh wait, that's fine.

It's amazing isn't it? Everyone in the band wants one so we don't have to share it!

Conjuring new tunes for Album number 4 last wekeend at @highpeakrecordings.bsky.social

It's a fine day to be going to the studio to work on a new @flangecircus.bsky.social track

a music studio with two people working. One person is sitting at a desk with large computer screens, speakers, and sound equipment. They are focused on the screen, likely editing music. Another person is standing at a keyboard synthesizer, adjusting controls. The room has warm lighting, with acoustic panels on the walls and ceiling to improve sound quality. There are also various musical instruments and devices around the space.

The Circus is back in town

We have a radical rework of one of our tracks on here, and it's absolutely terrifying if we do say so ourselves. So many talented artists on this label - get yourself an early Christmas present today.

Brilliant stuff, thanks Cas

Who's on this weeks show Cas? @churchoftrees.bsky.social @lonelyklown.bsky.social @stluciferlive.bsky.social @st8ofbass.bsky.social @thecubanboys.bsky.social @platronic.bsky.social @flangecircus.bsky.social @analoguetrash.com guys @bjornfelle.bsky.social and more

You should all come to this. You deserve to listen to all of these talented artists & support a damn fine independent label.

We contribute ‘I Find This Very Strange (Orange Nightmare mix). More than just a remix, we’ve recorded new parts and it is completely transformed from the album version.

Been slow at following back but we'll get there! Very happy to meet you all!

Full house of rehearsals today. Mastering tracks for a forthcoming @analoguetrash.bsky.social sampler compilation. Mixing a new @flangecircus.bsky.social remix. Meetings with new recording clients.

And I thought Sunday was a 'day of rest'....

A person dressed all in black is playing a keyboard with the name "Hydrasynth" on it. The keyboard is resting on a stand and the person's legs are visible in the background.

Back at @highpeakrecordings.bsky.social today working on new stuff....

A dark, moody live music performance with three musicians on stage. The leftmost musician plays an electric guitar and an M-Audio keyboard, wearing a cap and sporting a long white beard. The central musician, slightly hunched over, plays a bass guitar with intense focus. To the right, another musician wearing a fox mask performs on a Yamaha keyboard. The stage is lit with green LED lights on the floor, while a projected image of two women in soft lighting plays on a screen behind them,

Thanks to everyone who came to celebrate All Hallows Eve with us on Friday night and to support Calder Valley Hunt Saboteurs. An extremely spooky time was had by all... 👻

A collection of bass guitar pedals: There is a tuner, a bass synth, an Octave, a big muff (hehehe) fuzz pedal, a bass clone chorus pedal, a delay, a reverb and a compressor

A novation bass station synth. It is black with blue bits, and it is on a keynoatd stand

An m-audio midi keyboard, an iPad and an Ableton Push 3. We use this control our drum machines and MIDI sequences

A Hydrasynth and a vintage Yamaha Cs1x synth, stacked one above the other on a double keyboard stand.. The Hydrasynth is black and the Yamaha is blue
