Immersion

Immersion are Malka Spigel and Colin Newman. Although best known for their work with, respectively, Minimal Compact and Wire, the duo’s work as Immersion provides an outlet for their ongoing fascination in crafting enthralling, unique musical soundscapes.

Between 1994 and 1999, Immersion released three critically acclaimed albums of expansive instrumental electronica. Music which encompassed the meditative and the hallucinatory. They also garnered remixes by some of the biggest names in electronic music. And then? Then, they faded from view...

However since 2016 the project was taken off hold and they have released 2 albums and played 15 times as many shows as they did in their 1st incarnation! Although Immersion’s roots lie in the abstract dance music of the early 90’s their music has developed into a kind of Electro-Kosmishe - the sound of the 21st century. Immersion can create a world which is simultaneously devotional and sensual.

Drawing inspiration from a love of electronica, ambient, melodic techno and the mysteries of the cosmos, Brighton based musician/producer James Dean set about channeling these influences into his work under his BUNKR alias and, since BUNKR's inception in 2017, he has been treading an exploratory path deftly cultivating a unique voice in electronic music.
