Factory Floor is a British electronic music group formed in London in 2005, initially comprising Gabriel Gurnsey, Mark Harris, and Dominic Butler, with later key contributions from synth virtuoso Nik Colk Void after Harris’s departure. Renowned for their hypnotic blend of minimal techno, post-industrial, and experimental electronics, Factory Floor rapidly gained recognition through a series of iconic releases that drew comparisons to avant-garde pioneers like Throbbing Gristle and early New Order. Their self-titled debut album, released in 2013 via DFA Records, captured critical acclaim for its stark, rhythm-driven sound, oscillating between raw mechanical pulses and enveloping atmospheres.
Evolving their lineup and sound, the band has continually explored the intersection between live improvisation and studio experimentation, forging a distinctive identity rooted in dance floor innovation and art-rock abstraction. Factory Floor’s relentless energy and uncompromising vision have secured them a lasting influence in the UK’s electronic and underground music scenes, with their work regularly featured at international festivals and experimental art events.
