Accident Machine are Edinburgh-based duo, Mairi ‘b’ Pots and George T, who were brought together by the city’s Godmother of clubs, Trendy Wendy, for a live-streamed DJ set during the pandemic. This musical meeting of minds, led to a studio jam which in turn has now developed into a firmer creative fixture.
At the beginning of this month Accident Machine released a collaboration with Natasha Kitty Katt titled Circus Deep, based on the concept of a 19th century extravaganza. This will be followed on 28 March with a launch night at Edinburgh’s West Port Oracle, for a new an EP on Paradise Palms Records, which will initially be available only cassette.
The title track, Real Dreams, is a spoken word duet underpinned with an infectious acid vibe accessible enough to slip into a broad range of DJ sets. This will be premiered on the influential online platform Ransom Note at the beginning of April with full digital release scheduled for 28 April.
