Artist, musician, composer and producer Andrew Spackman—known for projects including SAD MAN, The Dark Jazz Project, Nimzo-Indian and Cars From The Future—creates immersive, darkly imaginative electronic worlds that blur the boundaries between sound art, experimental music and cinematic atmosphere. Over the past decade he has released more than 30 albums and over 400 tracks, building a distinctive sonic language shaped by tension, texture and psychological depth.

 

Working across dark ambient, post-industrial electronics, drone, noise and experimental composition, Spackman’s music often feels like stepping into a shifting environment—shadowy, uncanny, and driven by a strong sense of concept and world-building. His work resonates with listeners of Blanck Mass, Gazelle Twin, Ben Frost, Tim Hecker and The Haxan Cloak, while retaining a highly personal, art-driven edge.

 

He has released music through labels including Cruel Nature Records, Irregular Patterns, Mortality Tables, Accidental Records, Wormhole World and Cue Dot Records, and his work has been championed across major platforms: BBC Radio 3 (Late Junction), BBC 6 Music(Mary Anne Hobbs, Jamz Supernova, Stuart Maconie’s Freak Zone, New Music Fix with Deb Grant & Tom Ravenscroft), BBC Introducing Mixtape, Resonance FM, Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide FM, and more. He has received coverage in Electronic Sound Magazine, DJ Mag, Monolith Cocktail, Louder Than War and The Wire, with his work featured on The Wire Tapper 55 compilation.

"Close your eyes, listen carefully and allow yourself to be transported."

“These are pieces that jerk around like they’re being attacked with an electronic music cattle prod, all quirky beats, skewed melodies and sounds that feel like they’re splintering and fragmenting inside your ear canal.” Mat Smith
