Quantum Natives are a geographically-scattered media collective and record label who promise hard dancing in atemporality. Within the In formation programme, Quantum Natives speculate on the formation of a particularly contemporary form of community, a public constituted predominantly online through a mode of shared production. Their collective work explores the relationship between the fictional landscapes of science fiction novels and role playing games, IRL experience and the contested spaces of social media.
Working with video-game technology and software-based sound design they have released music from artists dispersed across the world. Their recent compilation was described by The Wire as showcasing 'an exciting selection of noisy post-industrial artists for an era of austerity'.
