Kate Simko & London Electronic Orchestra is a genre-bending ensemble that represents a meeting of Simko’s two worlds. A classically trained pianist raised in the dance music mecca of Chicago, Simko has edged to the forefront of house and techno’s new generation of talent with a series of albums and EPs for esteemed international labels such as Ghostly International, Get Physical, and Last Night On Earth, while applying her classical leanings to film scoring and a Billboard-charted remix for Philip Glass. In 2014, she completed a Master’s in Composition for Screen at the Royal College of Music, where she formed London Electronic Orchestra. Comprised of two violins, two cellos, upright bass, harp, and Kate on keys, the ensemble summons classical music’s ornate instrumentation to the dancefloor through an inimitable blend of sonorous strings and loose-grooved beats.
 
The group’s first single with Jamie Jones, “One Time Game” ft. Jem Cooke, was released in August 2015 on Jones’ Emerald City imprint, followed by their debut Tilted EP and album in May on The Vinyl Factory. Their live performances include iTunes Festival in London, the National Gallery, Boiler Room, Latitude Festival, Bestival, and a recent guest appearance at the Royal Albert Hall for Classic FM.
