Orbital is a techno outfit that was founded in the late 80s by brothers Paul and Phil Hartnoll. With their innovative sound and unique approach to electronic music, Orbital quickly became pioneers in the genre. Their music combines elements of ambient, house, and breakbeat, creating a distinctive and captivating sound that has earned them a dedicated fan base worldwide.

Throughout their career, Orbital has released numerous critically acclaimed albums and singles, including their breakthrough hit "Chime" in 1989. They are known for their mesmerizing live performances, incorporating impressive visuals and energetic stage presence. Orbital's music has been featured in films such as "Hackers" and "The Saint," further solidifying their influence on popular culture.

With over three decades of experience in the industry, Orbital continues to push boundaries and redefine electronic music. Their commitment to innovation and experimentation has made them one of the most respected acts in the genre. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to their music, exploring Orbital's discography is an essential journey through the evolution of electronic sounds.

Legendary electronic music duo Orbital return with new album Optical Delusion, the Hartnoll brothers first studio album since 2018’s Monster’s Exist. Recorded in Orbital’s Brighton studio, Optical Delusion includes contributions from Sleaford Mods, Penelope Isles, Anna B Savage, The Little Pest, Dina Ipavic, Coppe, and perhaps most surprisingly, The Medieval Baebes.

For the first single Orbital have joined forces with Sleaford Mods on their fabulous, furious new single “Dirty Rat” Featuring a searing vocal from Jason Williamson over kinetic, driving beats, “Dirty Rat” is Orbital at their most vital, still utterly relevant and pushing forward over 30 years since they broke through with their landmark single “Chime”. Think KLF or Underworld 'Born Slippy’ - ‘Dirty Rat’ is a primal scream which crosses genres and generations.
