“THE BLACK BELOW” and “THE BLACK BELOW REMIX ALBUM”

Linus & Amy’s debut album was written from the viewpoint of a girl dealing with lost love. It is the experience of self doubt and insecurities that result from heartbreak that inspired the album. “These feelings rise to the surface and can leave one teetering on the edge of the black below.”  The album ranges from downbeat melancholic ballads to hypnotic techno grooves, and has been described as “underground electronic pop in the vein of Massive Attack.”  Respected Producer, Ulrich Schnauss described the album as “a very engaging combination of gentle electronics and dancey grooves.”

“The Black Below Remix Album” features both established veterans of the dance music scene Howie B, Terry Francis, Alsion Marks, Alexi Delano and Russ Gabriel, as well as some of today’s best producers and DJs Mononoid, Joseph S. Joyce, Jem Stone, Mike Bryant, Tunnel and Ashwin Khosa.   Having remixed everyone from U2 to Björk, Howie B brings his musical polymath to “Arsonist’s Daughter” turning the track into a deep acid house jam.  As one of the founding father’s of London’s Fabric, Terry Francis is a mainstay of the House Music scene. His remix combines two of Linus and Amy’s signature tracks using parts of “Our Secret Tunnel” and “Follow Me Down”. The combination of syncopated rhythms and trippy vibes make his remix a delight for all Tech-House DJs.

Default Position is a London/Berlin-based record label founded by Joseph S Joyce which specialises in emotive forms of electronic music. The label gets its name from a term that is widely used in psychology, referring to a person's natural tendency or reaction to something or someone. A person's default position is often based on deeply embedded core beliefs about themselves or the world around them, often originating from childhood. Many of us will have to challenge our default positions in life, especially if we've developed negative ones. In terms of creativity, however, we believe that the default position serves something of great value. We believe it represents an artist's fundamental frequency, a place of creative authenticity, devoid of external influences or material motive. When an artist's output comes from their default position they express their truth. Our aim is to help them deliver their message.
