Chocolate Hills: Album Launch Party

Live performance from Chocolate Hills (aka Alex Paterson & Paul Conboy)
Supported by Violeta Vicci, Toby Andersen and Mixmaster Morris.

Chocolate Hills is the brainchild of legendary DJ and co-founder of seminal electronic legends The Orb, Alex Paterson and Metamono’s Paul Conboy. The pair met while touring in Australia and Bali, it was after sharing a big stack of pancakes on the Indonesian island, that they discovered they both resided in West Norwood and the rest is history. Together they have developed a sound that takes them back to their ’90s ambient roots, with a visionary bass journey of beats with epic, holographic 3D soundscapes and weird and wonderful analogue tangents.

Their debut album A Pail of Air is unpredictable and serendipitous, an adventure of the imagination, a cinematic widescreen meltdown. It features six tracks Rehip, Relax, Reboot, Relight, Reset and Reclaim and critics are calling it ”an analogue masterpiece”.
