Vector Lovers

Vector Lovers is the moniker used by British electronic music producer Martin Wheeler. Wheeler, as described by Soma Records (his current label) is a "computer nerd" and "80s-obsessed knob-twiddler" and creates music which falls into the intelligent dance music (IDM) and electro genres. His music has been compared to and is influenced by such acts as Kraftwerk and Depeche Mode.

As Vector Lovers, Wheeler has released several singles and EPs, as well as four albums. Early Vector Lovers' releases were through his own Iwari record label (one very early release was made as 'Balloon' - the name was changed to Vector Lovers when he discovered that there already was a band called Balloon). Music has also been released under the names Rosenbaum and Badly Born Droid.

In 2006, Wheeler contributed production duties to Tracey Thorn's album Out of the Woods, released in March 2007.

gollark: The slideout ones look quite cool.
gollark: I do like the look of the BlackBerry Keyone etc. keyboards, which are just small keyboards below the screen, but obviously I've never actually tried one...
gollark: Android is annoyingly bloated and unconfigurable. Can't even change the DNS settings.
gollark: It would definitely be nice to have some sort of keyboard option though.
gollark: What could possibly work is some sort of USB-C clip on keyboard, but that might be a bit hard to hold.
