1. The Chapel
2. Full Circle

As a multi-instrumentalist and established DJ who divides his time between the club and the live circuit, Pete Cunningham defies categorisation. He initially bubbled up amongst anemergent class of young guns coming through the Wolf Music and Church stables, alongside Seb Wildblood, Medlar & Frits Wentink. With his name now established, Cunningham has brought his history of playing in bands around full circle and the latest stage of his career has taken shape to reflect this: enter Ishmael Ensemble

.
2017 saw the Ishmael Ensemble’s first EP, Songs for Knotty, ollowed by a remix for Carl Craig. These formative steps will become a sprint in 2018, as a string of 7”s entitled Severn Songs follows out across the year. The Bristol-inspired records variously bridge fleet-footed jazz, lush downtempo, modulated electronica, Fourth World tones, and all manner of stirring sonic swells.
