Feeding the Machines

A 10 track electro album (1h 31s) — released August 1st 2025 on Plant43 Recordings

UK electro artist Emile Facey, aka Plant43, has built a discography totalling 10 albums and a slew of 12"s on respected scene mainstays CPU, Frustrated Funk, Semantica, Shipwrec, Cultivated Electronics and Trust. Emile is admired by his peers for his unwavering support of electronic music as an artist, DJ and promoter. His productions have been supported by luminaries like DJ Stingray, Helena Hauff, Dave Clarke, Surgeon, Rødhåd, Jane Fitz and Solid Blake and have been aired on BBC Radio 1's flagship Essential Mix, BBC Radio 6, Rinse FM, Threads, NTS and the Resident Advisor Podcast. Journalist Ben Murphy has called his style "Intricate, melodic and bewitching" while giving him a 9/10 review in DJ Mag. He is a regular guest at Berlin's renowned techno club, Tresor, who released a recording of his live performance at their 34th anniversary event in March 2025, London's FOLD and festivals across Europe.


Celebrating the 20th anniversary of his first release, Emile Facey presents Feeding the Machines, his fifth album on Plant43 Recordings and the culmination of his work to date. These ten tracks explore Emile's passion for electro, drum and bass and techno. Of Feeding The Machines Emile said: "I love a precise, machine-made sound but with this album I wanted to foreground the human so I recorded multiple passes of phrases from hardware synths, each one capturing my physical movements in real time. The slight differences in each layer creates this organic texture to the tracks, giving it a looseness or 'imperfection'. Humans are weird and it's that unpredictability that makes us interesting."Juno said: "Feeding The Machines is full of signature excellence, from the lithe rhythms of 'Information Decay' to the jittery drums and introspective chords of 'Anthropomorphic Algorithms' via the dark, hurried urgency of the paranoid 'Absolute Inertia'. This is another long player that is as adventurous as it is emotive and cinematic."
