Conscious Pilot is Joe Laycock, Emmy Leishman, Chris McCrory and Jack Sharp. While the band’s identity is a culmination of the differences between each member, they are all bonded by a love of fast, immersive beats and flowing melodies. Featuring members of Cheap Teeth, Catholic Action and Big Girls Blouse, the group was formed in 2023 when songwriters Joe and Jack moved from their native Yorkshire to Glasgow. The band has since been particularly active in the UK’s live music scene, having completed several tours in UK and making their first foray across Europe in 2025, culminating in two highly coveted performances at Hamburg’s Reeperbahn Festival. After releasing two EPs via Devil Duck Records, “Epoxy Plains” and “Wipe Clean”, the band are releasing their debut LP ‘Human Poultry’ on 8th May 2026.
Residing in Pennsylvania, Conscious Pilot is an independent producer/DJ who is known for representing
the deep sounds of the underground. Early on as a Drum & Bass vinyl purist, he witnessed Dubstep's
inception as it evolved from a dark vibe in London's UK Garage scene to its very own genre of electronic
dance music. Dubstep was born, and in 2005 he embarked on the journey for highbrow low end with high
hopes.
Since then we have witnessed his 10-year run on the award winning Sub.FM, chart topping vinyl & digital
releases, and dubplate packed performances at live events. Join Conscious Pilot as he delivers
enthusiast-oriented vibes to discerning bass music intellectuals worldwide.
