Bays

The Bays are an English group of musicians who only play live improvised Electronic music. They have never rehearsed nor recorded in a studio as they do not release music commercially and are independent of record labels. Their slogan is "Performance is the Product".
The Bays gig regularly and are known for their live shows. Sets are improvised, with the band playing off the mood of the audience and the atmosphere. Performances vary from an ambient set to one that is predominantly drum and bass, typically including several genres melded into a continuous piece of music, similar to a DJ set. Electro, House, Techno, Hip-Hop, Trance, Ambient, Drum and bass, Dub, UK garage and Breakbeat , are all styles mixed into their sets.
