Somewhere near London's River Lee and the Hackney marshes lies a vibrant and rapidly changing area/theme-park called Clapton. At the heart of it, on what was once dubbed "murder mile", is a small bar called Biddle Brothers which showcases an array of musicians and artists who occasionally call Clapton their home, at least for the moment.

After meeting a French saxophonist and a Serbian/Greek composer/pianist, an Austrian guitarist (together with long-time associate; an English drummer) decided from November 2012 to transform his monthly residency there into an electronic influenced free-improvised event.

This new group, now called Electric Biddle, has spent several months exploring these new sonic concepts together, documenting every session and drawing from a stylistically wide range of textures, riffs, rhythms and group-play possibilities.

Electric Biddle have now defined their identity as a group through recycling and remixing their extensive body of work, evolving their rich vocabulary whilst keeping improvisational freedom and spontaneity.
