Dean McPhee is a UK-based guitarist whose work draws on dub, British folk, underground electronic music, and psychedelic rock, evolving from sparse, echo-laden solo guitar pieces into a heavier, more immersive style incorporating deep bass, hypnotic riffs, and layered, loop-based structures. Performing on electric guitar through an expansive pedalboard routed into a valve amplifier and 18” subwoofer, his live sets unfold in real time, building dense, rhythmic compositions from minimal elements. A regular contributor to the Folklore Tapes collective, he has released music on his own label Bass Ritual as well as on BLAST FIRST (petite), Sonido Polifonico, Reverb Worship, and Hood Faire, which he co-runs with Sam McLoughlin and David Chatton Barker, and has toured throughout the UK and Europe, opening for artists including Thurston Moore, Acid Mothers Temple, Michael Chapman, The Magic Band, Emeralds, and Ex-Easter Island Head. His latest album, Astral Gold, received widespread critical acclaim from The Quietus, Uncut, Aquarium Drunkard, MOJO, Loud and Quiet, KLOF Mag, and Brainwashed, and his sixth album, Northern Earth, was recently released on limited cassette.
