Formed in the Summer of 2003 by current Judas Priest guitarist Richie Faulkner and Iron Maiden's long time recording engineer Tony Newton (Bass). Voodoo Six have gone on from supporting Iron Maiden to their own headlining tours, releasing four acclaimed albums and building a fanatical worldwide following amongst the Hard Rock and Metal community. 'Fluke' is the London-based outfit's second album originally released in 2010 and features eleven stunning slices of classic British Hard Rock.

Mantra Moderne' is a stunning, contemporary masterpiece that fuses Anatolian Psychedelia, Brazilian Tropicalia, 60's European pop and American jazz. A must for fans of Khruangbin, Portishead, Arthur Verocai, Goat, Caetano Veloso, Tom Zé, Os Mutantes, Cortex and co.The duo is formed of Kit Martin, who lives between London and France and plays all instruments on the album, and Merve Erdem, vocalist and multi-disciplinary artist from Istanbul, now based in London. This is their debut album.The album explores universal themes such as love, loss, decay, language and ideology, mixing three different languages English, Turkish and French. Written and recorded by the duo - Kit composed all the songs and Merve wrote the lyrics - in rural France during 2018, each song was completed within a 12-hour window, pawning contemplation for spontaneity.Dubbed by Kit and Merve as 'lo-fi-hi-fi' in reference to the high-end tube equipment that helped it find it's way to 8-track cassette tape. The style owes it's sound to narrow tape width, valve distortion, spring reverb, the mixture of high end gear with lo-fi equipment as well as a disregard to the norms of hi-fi studio techniques. All instruments were analogue and no samples were used. The instruments that are used range from tablas to darbukas, balalaikas to ouds, MS20 synths to Farfisa organs and a lot of cuica. The mixing techniques were done on-the-fly, tracking immediately to tape compression, EQ, delay and reverb; meaning mixing could not be revisited!
