Boothroyd

Boothroyd, also known as Peter Boothroyd, is a UK electronic artist originally from North Manchester and now based in London. His music combines lo-fi samples with a deliberately unstable, murky electronic style, and sits around the edges of modern composition, vaporwave and ambient pop.

Release history

His debut EP, Idle Hours, is issued on Tri Angle. The release brings together warped samples and a carefully arranged structure, moving between tense, high-energy passages and more frozen, minimal electronic textures.

Style and context

Boothroyd’s work is described as occupying a detached position in electronic music, with references to Coil, Lars Holdhus, dark web imagery and the bleak atmosphere associated with suburban English life and J. G. Ballard. The music is tagged to opal chains open veins, electronic and Tri Angle.
