Ammonite are electronic producer Kolin Fraser (aka Biomechanoid) and angel-voiced vocalist Nicky Cairney. Together they create sumptuous electronic music which blends genres such as dub, trip hop, drum and bass, electro and pop and comes up with a style all of its own.
Meticulous programming and production, dynamic fluid grooves and beautiful melodic atmospheres are integral components of the Ammonite sound, and this is further defined by Nicky's extraordinary voice and lyrics. Nicky has been a singer and lyricist from a very young age and has been involved in various other musical projects before and since joining Ammonite.
