Syd.31

Syd.31 was formed by Dr Magic, having previously only worked in traditional ska and punk bands. Somewhat by accident, he formed a retro, low-fi synth band with a couple of friends and Population were conceived. Within 18 months and by word of mouth alone, Population’s reputation earned them collaborations with a number of established artists such as Sonic Boom Six, Noisuf-X (appearing on the ‘Dead End District’ album) and Nachtmahr, appearing on the ‘Can You Feel the Beat’ EP after winning a remix competition with only their second ever remix, and also performing with them at the 2012 edition of the iconic Resistanz Festival.Shortly after a successful UK tour, Population’s relatively short life came to an end. Dr Magic continued to work with his live drummer (Liam C) and Syd.31
