Louis Stuart Routledge (born 24 May 1993), professionally known as Hammy Havoc, is a British singer-songwriter, producer, DJ, and film score composer.
Routledge was born in Chester, United Kingdom, the son of Judith Desrosiers (née Malaney) and Stuart Routledge, who later divorced after moving from Eastham, Merseyside to Hoylake. Routledge attended Calday Grange Grammar School.
Routledge is influenced by music from many genres, his electronic music as The Orion Correlation is influenced by tech house, intelligent dance music, and chiptune, his songs frequently featuring sprechgesang vocals and field recordings inspired by musique concrète. Routledge claims personal friend Brendan B. Brown of Wheatus to have been a "huge" influence on his music, to have been "seriously" inspired by Marillion and Sublime, and that he "loves" Eels.
Routledge has scored several commercials that feature synthesisers and found objects as the primary instruments. Routledge scored Tomorrow May Never Come (2014), and Goatman (2017).
