The Golden Age of Piracy: Nicole Skelty of B(if)tek's Formative Five
Tristen is joined by Nicole Skelty, half of pioneering electronica duo B(if)tek, Artificial, and many more projects. Skelty selects her Formative Five tracks that shaped her life and career.
The journey starts within the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, lingers in afternoon ABC TV, touches on the world of analog electronica and gothic alt-country, and finishes with the lyricism of Dylan.
The 30th anniversary vinyl re-issue of B(if)tek's debut 1996 album Sub-Vocal Theme Park is out in March.
Catch a live A/V set from Artificial at Rubix Warehouse on Friday 27 March.
