The Orb

In the decades since Alex Paterson lit the multi-coloured touchpaper on The Orb’s interstellar space odyssey, he continues to swerve becoming his own tribute act, by never standing still and preparing a cluster of fresh new projects. Now 20 albums into an astonishing career, The Orb are producing some of their most towering work

With Alex Paterson always setting the controls for the perfect ambient flight, dance groove or exploring previously unknown vistas, The Orb initially manifested as visionary mischief-makers in 1988’s acid house revolution.

1990’s landmark debut album 'The Orb's Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld', was promoted by Alex turning The Orb into a mind-blowing live experience. Second album 'U.F. Orb' was launched at the Planetarium and entered the UK album charts at number one in July 1992.

With an ever rotating cast of co-creators, a continuous string of charting albums, numerous EPs, compilations, mix records, and countless remixes since, The Orb remains a truly essential and still pioneering recording project and an ever engaging live presence

Throughout everything, Alex has continued wooing his first love of DJing, both on WNBC—London from the West Norwood Book and Record Bar and in clubs around the globe. One of music’s authentic originals, not averse to celebrating past triumphs but still always watching the skies and looking to the future.
