Stay+


Stay+, also known as Stay Positive or Stay Plus is an electronic music act originating from Manchester, England. Originally loosely termed a "collective", the act was later known to be the solo project of London-born music producer, Matt Farthing. Not much else is known about the reclusive Stay+, which chose to release only limited press shots, interviews and details about members/collaborators. One example saw a balloon artist take their place for a Radio 1 interview, another saw an interview answered entirely with YouTube found footage. Following a series of releases on the RAMP label, garnering critical acclaim from the likes of Pitchfork, "Crashed" was released on Black Butter Records in November 2012 and proved a commercial step up for the project; receiving heavy mainstream radio play from champions like Radio 1's Annie Mac who made it her Record of the Week.
After 2013 the act disappeared entirely; Farthing moved on apparently and began a new project, FAIK, in 2015.

Name controversy

Under the previous guise of "Christian AIDS", the act was forced to change its name after a cease and desist letter from the Christian Aid charity. "Stay Positive" was the name of their first release.
