There’s an authenticity about Factory Floor that’s particularly alluring. They live and work in a cluttered warehouse space in Seven Sisters, surrounded by mounds of cassettes, loose wires, analogue synthesizers and homemade electronics. Their infamous performances frequently turn into intense jam sessions and hypnotic freak-outs. They’re often found performing or curating shows at leading arts centres. And while others talk of being influenced by Throbbing Gristle, Peter Gordon and Cabaret Voltaire, Nikki ‘Void’ Colk, Gabe Gurnsey and Dominic Butler have, individually or collectively, worked with them (aside from the Cabs, but that’s another story).
The self-titled debut album from the London trio will arrive on DFA in September.

Factory Floor is a fitting name. It calls to mind the rusty grates in the basement sex club of Berghain, the metallic killing floors of slaughterhouses and the sneaker-scuffed concrete of assembly line stations. Just as ‘industrial music’ evokes a very clear idea of abrasive repetition, the London three-piece’s name evokes their whirling amalgamation of drone, ambient and experimental techno.

Welcome to Separate Mind, a new monthly column on Juno Plus that aims to cover techno music in its many hues and shades. In an era when every minor development, each tone or tweak to a kick drum is compartmentalised into a new micro-genre, Separate Mind takes the opposite approach. This column will keep its coverage as open-ended as possible, lending support to releases on the basis of whether or not the music deserves it and not because it fits into a narrative arrived at by consensus among so-called influencers.
It’s payback time for Perc as he shifts roles from label A&R to remixer – but can his work across three remixes match up to the Factory Floor remixes of Forward Strategy Group? It’s hard to answer, not least because the reworkings from Butler, Colk and Gurnsey of tracks from Labour Division were subtle and insidious, while Perc chooses a more upfront approach to repay the favour.
