The Heliocentrics are an English, London-based musical collective that combines funk, jazz, psych, and library influences. The group is based around drummer and producer Malcolm Catto,[1][2] bassist Jake Ferguson, guitarist Adrian Owusu, and multi-instrumentalist Jack Yglesias.

History

The Heliocentrics released their debut album Out There in 2007 on Now-Again Records.[3][4] This was followed by collaborations with Ethiopian musician Mulatu Astatke on the album Inspiration Information (2009),[5][6] which was awarded that year's Gilles Peterson Worldwide Winner Album of the Year award, Lloyd Miller & The Heliocentrics (OST) (2010),[7] and Orlando Julius.

The Heliocentrics appeared on the track "Skullfuckery" on the UK release of the DJ Shadow album The Outsider, which was released in 2006.[8]

In 2013, they released their second full album, 13 Degrees of Reality also on Stones Throw.[9][10] The 2009 album with Astatke was included in a list of 'Five Essential Jazz Albums' chosen by pianist Jamie Cullum in 2013.[11]

In 2017, they released A World of Masks with vocals by Barbora Patkova,[12] as well as The Sunshine Makers OST, the score they wrote for the 2015 British documentary The Sunshine Makers, directed by Cosmo Feilding-Mellen. Both records were released on Soundway Records.[13]

In 2020, they released Infinity of Now and Telemetric Sounds.

In 2023, they released Legna which is a full length collaboration with The Gaslamp Killer.
