O Yuki Conjugate is an English post-industrial/ambient musical group founded in 1982 in Nottingham by Roger Horberry and Andrew Hulme. Their music is atmospheric and eclectic, using electronics and found instruments. With a self-described approach of "dirty ambient" and "wilfully obscure," O Yuki Conjugate's sound has been described as ambient, fourth-world, ethnic, tribal, and darkwave.

The group has gone through several lineup changes over the years. The original lineup consisted of C.Elliott, R.Horberry, T.Horberry, and A.Hulme from 1982 to 1991. From 1991 to 1996, the lineup included R.Horberry, A.Hulme, M.McGeorge, D.Mudford,P.A.Woodhead,and J.Gardiner. In their third iteration from 2001 to 2008,R.Horberry,A.Hulme,and R.Jenkins were part of the band.O Yuki Conjugate's current lineup since 2017 consists of R.Horberry and A.Hulme.

British post-industrial/ambient group O Yuki Conjugate arrives on Aguirre Records with a vinyl run of their previously CD only 1995 release Equator. Coming four years after their lauded Peyote release, the group split and reformed into their Mk II phase with the two original members Roger Horberry and Andrew Hulme, along with Malcolm McGeorge, Dan Mudford, and Pete Woodhead. Making use of the emergent technology of the early '90s, Equator was one of the first albums to be mixed with digital equipment, weaving together a blend of studio, live and location recordings to create their own deeply immersive, enveloping soundscapes. Brooding atmospheres unfold underneath a wide range of ethnic percussion and deep, meditative basslines -- existing in a unique cross-section of Hassell-inspired 4th world mystery, Industrial landscapes and the rich middle-eastern projections pioneered by Muslimgauze. It's a deeply hypnotic work that joins the dots between the late 80's industrial scene and the smoked-out chill out rooms of the '90s, which should have received more attention at the time, were it not for the haphazard Staalplaat label who ensured O Yuki Conjugate remained a total obscurity in their home country. Now revisited, this expanded vinyl edition features an additional 30 minutes of material, together with new glorious artwork from artist and actor Frederick Schimmelschmidt. Instrumentation: tongue drums, bass, thunderegg, voice, keyboards, samples, wireless, stratus, airtubes, skin, percussion, marimba, digital edits, dharbouka, roto-tom, sholak, finger cymbals, rain stick. Mastered by Pieter De Wagter. Smokey clear vinyl; gatefold cover with insert; edition of 500.
