Factory Floor are a London-based band formed in 2005. They have been described as 'post-industrial', using live drums, synthesizers and noise. ==History== The band formed in 2005, originally comprising Gabriel Gurnsey and Mark Harris, who were then joined by Dominic Butler. Harris later left, and they were joined by Nik Colk (aka Nik Colk Void), formerly of KaitO, in 2010. Gurnsey plays drums and drum machines, Butler plays modular synths and electronics,〔"(FACT mix 28: Factory Floor )", ''FACT'', 10 February 2009, retrieved 2011-09-01〕 and Colk adds manipulated vocals, guitar and samples.〔Turner, Luke (2010) "(Factory Floor Live: Beyond The Industrial Production Line )", The Quietus, 26 January 2010, retrieved 2011-08-15〕 After two singles in 2008, and a mini-album, ''Talking On Cliffs'' in 2009, the band signed to Blast First's 'Blast First Petite' label, releasing several twelve-inch singles, including "Wooden Box", featuring a Stephen Morris remix, and an untitled ten-inch mini-LP in 2010.〔Lester, Paul (2009) "(New Band of the Day: Factory Floor )", ''The Guardian'', 23 December 2009, retrieved 2011-08-15〕 The latter was described by the ''NME'' as "a terrifying racket that simultaneously frazzles the nerves and slackens the bowels" and "an incessant drone of keyboards wired through twisted-metal synthesizers and thundering drums summoned from the heavens", writer Ben Hewitt giving it a 9/10 rating.〔Hewitt, Ben (2010) "(Album Review: Factory Floor - 'Untitled' )", ''NME'', 3 May 2010, retrieved 2011-08-15〕 The singles "Real Love" and "Two Different Ways" followed in 2011. The band approached Morris by sending him a CD and asking if he would do a remix.〔Turner, Luke (2010) "(Stephen Morris Talks Factory Floor Production & Remix )", The Quietus, 28 June 2010, retrieved 2011-08-15〕 After remixing "Wooden Box", Morris went on to work with the band as producer. Two twelve-inch releases followed featuring remixes by Stephen Morris and Chris Carter.〔 Since then Factory Floor have released "(R E A L L O V E)" (Optimo), and "Two Different Ways" on DFA Records. In 2011 the band played a support slot for Chris & Cosey at the ICA and Chris Carter joined the band later that year for two performances: Primavera Sound and the Roundhouse.
