„Bauhaus with Bela Lugosi’s Dead have started properly the fusion of postpunk and dub. I can’t shake it out of my mind how raw and energetic they looked and sounded in the film The Hunger! They are gods here in Transylvania!” Obeah

XQUI is an anonymous outsider electronic musician from Manchester, releasing music on the Wormhole World label. The artist first appeared in April 2018 with his Britannia EP, which was swiftly followed by the Dragon album in May. Using field recordings which he manipulated via mobile phone and laptop, he created incredible soundscapes and was quickly compared to Brian Eno, William Basinski and Clint Mansell.
Appearing in several Albums of the Year lists over the last three years, he has also remixed and worked with numerous artists the likes of Mark Stewart, Vince Clarke, Blancmage and Neil Arthur. XQUI is a sonic time traveler and on the Twenties album he went back one hundred years, navigating a twisted channel to the roaring Twenties. The album was labeled uncompromisingly immersive; startling; melancholic; confusing; beautiful – the rebirth of a fading spirit song of ages. XQUI and Lil Obeah are labelmates on Wormhole World and often collaborate and soundclash to creative results.
