Immersion announce tour UK tour Immersion Nov-Dec 2024
Thirty years in, Immersion, the electronic duo comprising the “life & art” couple Colin Newman from Wire and Malka Spigel from Minimal Compact, have finally announced their long awaited debut UK tour.
The shapeshifting duo will bring their hypnotic quicksilver minimalism, which combines a fresh, experimental approach with an innate ear for great pop melodies, to select UK venues after getting great reviews for one-off shows in their hometown of Brighton and a successful tour across North America.
Future plans may well include touring their collaborative Nanocluster project where special guests add their own creative DNA to the core duo’s open minded chassis.

Immersion biography
Immersion are Malka Spigel and Colin Newman best known for their work with Minimal Compact and Wire.
The project emerged in the early 1990s and has always prided itself on a diversity in approach and an ability to be both self-contained and a vehicle for collaboration. 1999’s Low Impact & 2018’s Sleepless cover very different aesthetics.
More recent work has seen Immersion collaborating with the likes of Tarwater, Laetitia Sadier, Ulrich Schnauss , Scanner, Thor Harris, Cubzoa in their ongoing Nanocluster series of events & albums.
The couple also have a weekly music radio show called Swimming In Sound and play in the band Githead, alongside Robin Rimbaud (Scanner) & Max Franken.
