BIO

In the ever-changing luminuous landscape of digital music, pH (or Sean P.H. Campbell) represents a distinct evolution in the performance psyche of electronic musicians and live PA worldwide. Using a 6-foot table of drum machines, mixers, synthesizers, samplers and toys, pH creates pulsing raves from scratch - all live, all improvised. From behind his wall of LED blips, his energy is infectious, wrapping audiences in sonic chasms rife with deep bass, analoguous hardware glitch, and syncopated breakbeat bliss - all while keeping the laptop at home.

On record, pH embodies many of electronic music's more enviable and progressive elements, while staying true to his affinity for danceable scores. His first album, $c , boasts elements of glitch, trip hop, speak n' spell, and psychedelic funk. His efforts on Everything Is Air and the Chemical Peel mixtape offer a shift towards big beat and downtempo, as well as remixes showcasing a rich and unparalleled grasp of modern production techniques. The latest pH release - User's Manual, is a full length album that with each listen reveals a different shade of the ever evolving sonic palette from this emerging dancefloor innovator.

This is live PA at its finest and most expansive - this is pH.
