Spend an hour in the company of Canadian techno royalty as Orphx mix our latest podcast.
The line which separates techno with noise and industrial music seems to have become increasingly blurred over the past few years; although the casual observer may see this as a recent development, in reality these sounds have been combining for a lot longer. One such outfit are Canadian duo and former Juno Plus interviewees Orphx, who have been exploring the meeting point between industrial music and techno in their music for the past 20 years, producing numerous albums alongside a number of vinyl, CD and cassette releases. With sonic force and rhythmic distortion as their guiding light, Richard Oddie and Christie Sealey have manoeuvred Orphx’s sound from the arena of experimental noise and industrial electronic music into a realm of techno shared by the likes of Adam X, Perc Trax and Svreca’s Semantica.
In 2009 Orphx made their label debut on Adam X’s Sonic Groove imprint with the Division EP, a release which exposed the duo to a new audience thanks to remixes from Surgeon and dub techno anchor Substance; until that point, the only remixes of Orphx came from either themselves, Jim DeJong’s The Infant Cycle project and a selection of remakes that appeared on Teletai - Rarities And Remixes in 2008.
Orphx are now a permanent fixture of Sonic Groove’s industrial-heavy roster; in addition to the four records they’ve already released for the label, the duo will be releasing the Boundary Conditions 12” next week. Since their first appearance on the label in 2009 Orphx have focused on melding elements of dancefloor sound design together with a challenging tonality, and have subsequently plunged themselves further into a sphere of techno they helped to influence by remixing acts such as Svreca, Giorgio Gigli & Obtane and Adam X’s Traversable Wormhole project.
Richard and Christine’s mix for Juno Plus feels like an extension of their own sound, with an hour’s worth of cold, dark, tunnelling techno from artists whose music has been an inspiration on their forthcoming release. We spoke with Oddie over email about their upcoming European tour, cassette tape labels and how to approach remixes.

![Surgeon - Rinse FM, 08-05-13
A new monthly show for Surgeon on Rinse FM. More info @ rinse.fm/news/rinse-fm-this-week-2/
A warm welcome to Surgeon, as the Birmingham hard-edged techno pioneer will officially be joining the station to host a regular show each month, commencing this week.
Anthony Child carved his distinct, misshapen sound, drawing on a palette of sounds heavily inspired by krautrock and industrial music which metallic and abrasive textures help create the framework for his own brand of techno, all showcased in the gritty surfaces, the raw, uncompromising style, and the near gothic atmospheres.
Recent years have seen Surgeon back in the game of collaboration. Not only has he reformed the short-lived British Murder Boys project with Karl ‘Regis’ O’Konnor at the end of last year to release a 12″ called ‘Where Pale Limbs Lie’ on Mute offshoot Liberation Technologies, he has also teamed up with Jamie ‘Blawan’ Roberts as Trade, dropping a full-on, aggressive eight-tracker on Works The Long Night. His latest non club-rooted offering on Burlington cassette label NNA Tapes is an epic solo release that delves deep into tonal experimentation.
