Earthling are an Alternative UK Hip-Hop duo made up of rapper Mau & producer Tim Saul. They emerged in the mid 1990s as part of the same fertile Bristol scene that produced Tricky, Portishead & Massive Attack, adding a playful & psychedelic spin to the genre.

Their debut LP Radar was released in May 1995 - a bold & distinctive record, weaving together Saul’s layered production, live instrumentation & Mau’s sharp, stream-of-consciousness lyricism & ft. Geoff Barrow (Portishead) It drew widespread critical acclaim from UK & international press, who highlighted its originality.

Their 2nd LP Human Dust preserved the duo’s literate lyricism & textured production & ft. Ray Manzarek(The Doors). In 2011 Earthling released their 3rd LP Insomniac’s Ball, an adventurous & idiosyncratic collection that confirmed the enduring chemistry between Mau’s vocal delivery & Saul’s beatcraft.

To mark the 30th anniversary of Radar, Blue Raincoat/Chrysalis will release a lovingly re-mastered LP in 2025
