about

Neil Cowley has embraced a new musical direction (since the Neil Cowley Trio disbanded), incorporating electronic, ambient and neo-classical production. 2018's 'Spacebound Tapes' EP first hinted at a musical shift for Neil, reflected in his choice of remixers: Rival Consoles,Throwing Snow, Christian Löffler and Vessels.

In 2019 his 'Grains & Motes' collaborative EP with Erased Tapes composer Ben Lukas Boysen was described in The Guardian as "a texturally interesting world that will appeal to Nils Frahm fans...slow-motion hymns, working within deliberately constricted melodic phrases but always wringing out a quiet grandeur and a beautiful sadness.” The release of his first solo EP 'Beat Infinitum' in July incorporated technology and the joys of electronics into a reflective set ("Investigate" 8/10 DJ Mag). His recent guest mix for Clash ("a gripping selection that continually offers the unexpected") brought together tracks by Metro Area, The Mauskovic Dance Band, Nightmares On Wax, Khruangbin and Shinichiro Yokota.
Neil co-wrote with Maribou State for their album ‘Kingdoms In Colour’, and recently remixed their collaborator Holly Walker. In 2021 Neil released his debut solo album Hall of Mirrors; a highly personal account of his relationship with his old friend the piano. It received support from Clash, Mojo and Uncut plus radio plays from Benji B, Tom Ravenscroft and Gideon Coe.

"Dip Your Toe is an improvised piece, written at the moment of recording. I like to capture first takes, where you can hear tentative early steps. It can capture a childlike innocence which the seasoned and experienced ‘pro’ in you can sometimes mask. In this case it was particularly naive in its presentation. When I listen back to it I imagine the child in me, dangling my feet in rippling water at the end of an imaginary landing stage. Hence the title!"
