Hybrid

Hybrid is a British electronic music duo formed by Mike and Charlotte Truman. The group was formed in 1995 by Mike Truman, Chris Healings and Lee Mullin. At the time, they were best known as a breakbeat collective, with notable overlaps with progressive house and trance.

Their 1999 single «Finished Symphony» was their first chart release; that same year saw the arrival of their critically acclaimed debut studio album, Wide Angle. Hybrid are considered pioneers of the electronic genre and are associated with a cinematic approach to their production, especially through the use of orchestral recordings. Following Mullin's departure, their second studio album, Morning Sci-Fi (2003), was recorded with Adam Taylor and included collaborations with Peter Hook and Kirsty Hawkshaw. In 2006, Truman and Healings released their acclaimed third studio album, I Choose Noise.

Charlotte Truman (née James) joined shortly afterwards, in 2007, as a vocalist and songwriter. Her first recording with Hybrid was «The Formula of Fear» (2008), the lead single from their fourth studio album, Disappear Here (2010).

Following a period of inactivity, founding member Chris Healings left the group in 2015, and their eagerly awaited fifth studio album, Light of the Fearless, was released in 2018. Truman and Truman subsequently released their sixth studio album, «Black Halo», in 2021.

Throughout their career they have produced over a hundred remixes for some forty artists, including U2, Moby, Rob Dougan, R.E.M. and The Future Sound of London. The group were based in Swansea, Wales, and have since relocated to Worcestershire, England.
