Anthony ‘Surgeon’ Child remains one of the most formidable forces in homegrown techno.

Since his early releases on Downwards in the mid 1990s, he’s consistently managed to balance precision and invention, producing six full-lengths and a bevy of EPs which infuse meticulously produced techno with the uncertain energies of industrial and noise music. 2012 saw him revive the much-missed British Murder Boys project with Regis, releasing the excellent Where Pail Limbs Lie on Liberation Technologies. He’s also become something of a guru figure for techno’s current young breed, too: he took the opportunity to shout out Randomer, Objekt et al in a recent FACT interview,and he’s collaborated with Yorkshire upstart Blawan as Trade.

As Resident Advisor report, Child is set to release a new LP on Vermont imprint NNA Tapes, responsible for releases from Laurel Halo and Oneohtrix Point Never (with Rene Hell). Interestingly, The Space Between People And Things will be released under Child’s birthname – the first time Child has released a solo full-length under his own name, and his first alias-free release since 2002’s Guitar Treatments collaboration with Andrew Read.

The album will consist of two long-form pieces, stitched together from fragments of over 16 years of unreleased “tone-based experimental works”. Sound samples were reportedly taken from “location recordings, tonal experiments and thought-forms from many different positions in space and time”.

The Space Between People and Things 12″ is due on March 5.
