Federation was formed in the summer of 2011 by Ben Lost and Rich Solarstone and joined by Dave Moth in 2013. The first two years of their inception were characterized by their own brand of live performance psy-tinged Trance on Perfecto Records, as heard on tracks such as Black Tide and Quiero. With the arrival of Dave Moth, they developed a sound that incorporates New Wave, Goth, and Industrial influences, whilst retaining that love of thumping late 90's Trance, best demonstrated on songs such as New Religion and Be There, released via their own Black Hole subsidiary label Feed The Moth. After a few years concentrating on other projects, 2020 sees Federation back in the studio, with a full-length album due 2021.
