Plant43: Mycofiltration [Plant43] 2026

For the 18th release on Plant43 Recordings, I return to a source of inspiration to which I’m no stranger, the fascinating world of Fungi. On ‘Mycelium Network’ I explore this fascinating life form in four new spatial electro tracks.

Did you know that the mushrooms that you find on the surface of the earth are only the fruitbody of the fungi? Underneath them hides mycelium, a root-like structure that can span vast areas. Its thread-like fibres gather nutrients, connecting and co-evolving with other plants. Research has found that it plays an important part in our ecosystems and has the potential to eradicate petroleum products, pesticides and can be used as a filter to remove microorganisms from soil or water. Life cycle analysis has revealed its viability as a carbon sink material, with the ability to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.

The natural world has always provided inspiration and solace for me. The astonishing complexity in the ways that plants and animals have evolved over millenia. Studying these things reminds me of how incredible and unique our planet is and how important it is to protect it.

These tracks are all taken from my recent live sets, which I’ve been lucky enough to play in places I’ve always dreamed of going, including a recent trip to Japan. Touring has allowed me to get to know them inside-out and I’ve worked hard to capture the essence of them here.

The vinyl edition of this record is made using cost effective, industry-first ECOVIN bio-vinyl, resulting in a 90% reduction in its carbon footprint.

Please note if ordering from outside of the UK: From 1st July The EU has introduced new import rules which apply to all goods sent from Great Britain to EU countries. This means that a €3 duty and a £1 customs handling fee will apply per item. This fee will be added o your shipping cost and used to pay the duty and handling fees via shipping with Royal Mail. This will help ensure that recipients on or after the 1st July won’t have to pay any more to have them delivered. All orders from the Plant43 Bandcamp are also sent using a tracked system (you’ll be sent the tracking code on shipping) and continue to be processed through the Enhanced Payments system which collects and remits VAT at your local rate to your local VAT authority. To allow for the varying tax rates across the world, we have reduced our prices by 20% so that when the tax is added at the checkout you won’t be double charged. Packages sent using this system have Bandcamp’s IOSS (Import One Stop Shop) number electronically applied to them so that customs offices can see the tax has been paid as part of the Bandcamp transaction.

Thanks so much for your support!
