Ping

Cultural diversity is an important feature of PING's musical ethos. Their music draws on a wide and ever-expanding range of sounds and styles from musical traditions all around the world. From the outset a major objective of the band has been to explore the relatively unchartered territory of "quasi-techno" - a term which describes the performance of 'techno" inspired music without using pre--programmable devices such as sequencers, loops or drum machines. Put simply - techno music performed absolutely 100% live. Ping brilliant debut self titled EP is available now through AIAN
