In a 26-year career that’s seen collaborations with luminary artists from across the music spectrum– all the while posting multiple DJ chart Top 25s, an iTunes Europe #1 album, and three-time GRAMMY® Award “Best Electronic Album” ballot candidacies – the 3kStatic electronic music collective has continued to evolve, securing a unique place in the pantheon of deep-underground electronic music.

That evolution continues on “Restless Invention”, a 9-track immersive concept album that employs the project’s Dadaist ‘cut and paste/found sound’ approach in an exploration of electronic music forms – past, present and future.

Exploring elements of pan-Global Dadaist influences, “Restless Invention” is a traditional album concept – meant to be listened to in its entirety.

With lead single “Yes, It Is” already released to worldwide DJ pools and currently charting #9 (“Trending House”), “Restless Invention” is the follow-up to the 2024 GRAMMY entry candidate “Telestial”.

With releases on 22 labels worldwide since its inception in 1998, 3kStatic has been heavily influenced by the pioneers of industrial electronica – as well as the work of multi-media artists Guy Debord, William S. Burroughs and Byron Gysin.

3kStatic has collaborated with members, or former members, of: Kansas; Yes; ELO, Part II; Cabaret Voltaire; Hula; Pop Will Eat Itself; Public Enemy; Parliament-Funkadelic; Public Image Ltd.; King Crimson and others.

3kStatic has produced commissioned remixes for: Ku-Ling Bros.; KMFDM; Lords of Acid; Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Chris Vrenna (Nine Inch Nails), and many others.

Evolver: Distinctive Electronica – a 3kStatic sample and sound library was released by Sony Creative Software in 2009, and was accompanied by the full album Evolver.

 

“Restless Invention” is now available for pre-order on disc and vinyl formats. All orders of physical product will ship for delivery before the official 14 March release date. The album will also be available on all major streaming platforms in Ultra HD spatial audio.
