Eclectic Method

Eclectic Method is a genre-blurring audiovisual collective formed in London in the early 2000s, known for their chaotic live performances that mash up music, pop culture, and political commentary. Founded by Jonny Wilson, Ian Edgar, and Geoff Gamlen, the group pioneered "VJing" as a live art form, mixing real-time video samples with electronic beats to create frenetic, meme-like collages. Their sound—a mix of breakbeat, dubstep, and sample sorcery—often repurposes everything from viral clips to Hollywood movies, earning them cult status as internet-era culture jammers.

With releases like *Fight Dub* and *Reject the Propaganda*, Eclectic Method leans into politically charged themes, slicing through media noise with sarcastic wit. They’ve collaborated with acts like Public Enemy and The Prodigy, remixed for Major Lazer and M.I.A., and brought their hyperactive live shows to festivals like Glastonbury and SXSW. Recent tracks like *Is It A Pirate Song* and *Year of the Pig* keep their signature mix of absurdity and critique alive, proving they’re still masters of turning digital debris into dancefloor bombs.
