Thank you Pop Messe and @ForestFest. What a weekend! Also big thanks for everyone sending @PhilHartnoll your best wishes. 😊 Heading home now…

Big love to all at Forest Fest, so sorry I couldn’t make it to you this time - I recon I got given the wrong wristband ended up at Hosp Fest , Allergy Stage . Thanks to all my lovely crew and Paul who’s going to rock it - Phil ❤️❌ @orbitalband

Phil bought a drum machine, I brought my guitarm and suddenly we were making Chime in our parents’ stair cupboard. A thousand white‑label copies sold in two weeks. We realised this might just be real life. #Orbital #ElectronicMusic #RavePioneers

In 2009, Paul Hartnoll turned children’s voices into music for @childline. Every word became rhythm, melody, meaning. "It’s about kids talking, coming out of their shell, and expressing themselves." Hear the track at the end 🎶 #Orbital #MusicWithPurpose #ElectronicMusic

Did you know ‘Smiley’ isn't just a track—it's a time machine? ⌛️ Released 3 years ago on 30 Something, it sampled Paul’s 1988 police interview after a rave raid. Directed by Luke Losey, the video blends sock puppets, riot gear & unicorns, nostalgia turned sideways. #Orbital

In 1989, Orbital recorded Chime in one take; six inputs, straight to cassette. From a stair cupboard to Top of the Pops, @PeteTong called it “one of the finest examples” of a new movement. @JoeyBeltram flipped it in Energy Flash. The ripple hasn’t stopped. #Orbital

Phil - Pissing down, in at 3am, going for a disco nap, caught up wit @KNEECAPCEOL @bilbaobbklive @PhilHartnoll @paulhartnoll858 #philhartnoll #paulhartnoll #kneecap #orbital #electronicmusic #technomusic #hiphop

Phil & Paul talking sound, feeling—and why the speakers matter just as much as the music. 🎞️ A rare bit of tape from Sofia, Bulgaria (2001). #Orbital #ElectronicMusic #RavePioneers #Rave #TeXno

In 1996, The Box took shape, a dream Paul could never finish, turned track. Tilda Swinton brought it to life in stop-motion. Reworks by @JorisVoorn, Bump & Grind, and our 30 Something Years Later Mix. Tilda returned in 2024 for Deepest, a rework of Deeper, released in 2025.

Really excited that Mini da Minx is joining the fun on Saturday! She’ll be playing from doors opening at 9 for two hours, then we take over from 11. Px TICKETS – bit.ly/43hbBSh or via @concorde2 @PhilHartnoll @paulhartnoll858 #ElectronicMusic #Techno #DJSet #Brighton
