Ekoplekz is the lo-fi electronic project of Nick Edwards. As well as releasing solo work on a string of major labels, he has collaborated with Baron Mordant (as eMMplekz), Bassclef (as Ekoclef), as well as other side projects such as Ensemble Skalectrik and PLKZFX.

In March 2014 Ekoplekz made his debut on Planet Mu with the album Unfidelity, working closely with label head Mike Paradinas to create a work which aligns itself with Mu’s melodic sensibilities and lets the early 90’s electronica influences bleed in, while retaining the intensely transporting feel that all his work possesses.

Ekoplekz shuns modern digital production techniques in favour of analogue equipment, lo-fi cassette recorders and a spontaneous, improvised approach to composition. The Bristol based artist takes inspiration from BBC Radiophonic soundtracks, early dub reggae, krautrock and post-punk/industrial pioneers like Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle and Robert Rental.

“Alien static, aquatic subs and rouge transmitter bleeps; legacy technology guided by hidden hands; a sense that he'd be doing it anyway, regardless of whether anybody was listening - Nick Edwards is every inch the alchemist eccentric of yore, an underground mainstay emitting some of the most enveloping, warm and dilapidated vibrations of recent years, and laying them down on a four track cassette recorder.” (The Quietus)
