Described as a »vanguard,« by British publication Mixmag and »fearless,« by Hyponik, their breathless third album Pitch Blender – due out in March, 2023 – is a tight set of cybernetic dancefloor experiments that flicker between the rave and the art space.
Since the release of their immersive 2018 debut album String Figures and its acclaimed 2020 follow-up States of Fugue, Mc Pherson has performed across the world, appearing CTM Festival, Nyege Nyege, Freerotation, Meakusma, LEV, FIBER Festival, Elevate, and more. They've presented spatial sound installations at Berlin's MONOM (the world's first 4DSOUND system), and silent green amongst others, and worked alongside bULt in Almaty, Kazakhstan's largest city, to invite musicians to perform and hold workshops at a brand new queer-owned club there.
A seasoned collaborator, Mc Pherson maintains an ongoing project with renowned French sound artist Jessica Ekomane. The two performed a special project at Berghain's Halle broadcast by ARTE TV, and their first recording was released on Ostgut Ton's Fünfzehn + 1 compilation. On the other end of their creative spectrum, Carbon 96 finds Mc Pherson teaming up with US techno producer and DJ Ciarra Black (the duo's effervescent debut Carbonated was released on Peder Mannerfelt Produktion in 2022). Their most recent project is 3OK, conceptualised in Uganda, matching Mc Pherson's sci-fi sonics with singeli pioneer Jay Mitta's breakneck beats and Malian veteran DJ Diaki's unmistakable soundsystem energy.
