Eat Static

Eat Static is an influential electronic music project formed in 1989 in the United Kingdom by Merv Pepler and Joie Hinton, both former members of the psychedelic rock band Ozric Tentacles. Famed for their pioneering fusion of psychedelic trance, techno, and experimental electronic sounds, Eat Static quickly gained a reputation for innovative live performances that blended alien-themed visuals with intricate, genre-defying beats. The duo’s sound evolved over the years, often incorporating elements of drum and bass, breakbeat, and ambient, making them a mainstay within the underground dance music scene and a favorite at festivals worldwide.

With a discography that includes seminal albums such as “Abduction,” “Science of the Gods,” and “Crash & Burn!,” Eat Static’s fearless approach to music production and relentless pursuit of sonic exploration have established them as legendary figures in the electronic music landscape. Despite lineup changes, notably Hinton’s departure in the late 1990s, Pepler has continued to carry the Eat Static mantle, ensuring the project remains synonymous with forward-thinking, boundary-pushing soundscapes.
