The Pattern Theory met through a common love of instrumental music and a desire to combine the beauty of rhythmical complexity with the emotional impact of minimal harmonies and melodies. Formed in Leeds, England in spring 2007 they self-released their first EP (EP1), which received excellent reviews (including The Guardian and Drowned in Sound) and extensive radio play (including Steve Lamacq’s BBC Radio One show), they re-located to Berlin in 2008.

They have toured throughout Europe and have shared stages with Icy Demons, Adem, Library Tapes and The Drift. Damo Suzuki chose The Pattern Theory as his backing band on his world tour, accompanying him with a fully improvised set.

Live, the band play six instruments simultaneously, with no backing tracks being used at any point. Outside of The Pattern Theory, James drums for The Declining Winter (Hood side project), Carl works with Andrew McInnis (ex-Asva, a Sunn O))) side project) and Lukas plays with Tanita Tikaram.

PRESS:
“Very promising, like Yo La Tengo in mellow mood doing an Ali Farka Toure tribute.” – THE GUARDIAN

“Interweaving individual threads of guitar, bass and drums which fit together into something that’s part melody, part algorithm… like Battles but much more organic” – MANCHESTER MUSIC

“From the stunning promise evident on every track, it seems like a rather invincible EP.” (10/10) – LEEDS MUSIC SCENE“

The Pattern Theory strive for perfection, (and) are definitely walking the walk outside of the regulation box.” – DROWNED IN SOUND

First confirmed acts to be announced soon.

In the span of a few years, Texas-born, New York-based Matthew Dear has established himself as one of America’s foremost underground dance producers, his output is considered to be at creative peak of minimal techno.

He has been known under the aliases Audion, False, and Jabberjaw; and has recorded for Richie Hawtin and FABRIClive amongst others.

Since his astounding first full-length Asa Breed, he has moved in more diverse directions, veering into towards full songwriting, and pulling the elastic of techno until it encompasses a wild variety of styles. New album Black City is the culmination of those efforts.

His full band live show promises to be an extraordinary presentation.
