Inspired by catching a special late nineties set by Dillinja a number of years ago, where he played dipping in and out of different styles, together with my continued love of old One In The Jungle rips, this is the first in a new series journalling my favourite drum & bass tracks, across all shades and sounds of the genre, including but also beyond the usual big tracks that come up in most history style mixes... Blue Note style. More focus on the blends here rather than heavy editing, as I just want to let the tracks roll and shine.

House of Black Lanterns is the latest artistic guise of Dylan Richards (formerly known as King Cannibal when working on Ninja Tune and Zilla on Warp Records).

Championed by the likes of Mary Anne Hobbs, hand-picked by Björk to work on her recent ‘Biophilia’ project, selected by Liam Howlett to remix the Prodigy, invited to compile retrospectives of the Warp and Ninja Tune catalogues as Zilla and King Cannibal respectively and DJ Mag Best of British 'Best Mix CD' award nominee, Richards is no stranger to critical recognition when it comes to twisted, layered soundscapes.

House of Black Lanterns delivers a defined change in vision and style with the material already receiving widespread support. The debut album 'Kill The Lights' on Fabric's imprint 'Houndstooth' retains the earlier influence of DJ Krust’s sprawling drum & bass soundscapes, House of Black Lanterns sees Richards develop his sound to incorporate the dub-inflected techno textures of Rhythm & Sound whilst nodding to the catchy, yet bleak floorfillers of Trax, all inspired by the modern noir visual style of Michael Mann.

In between sets at both Berghain and Panorama Bar, The Roundhouse, Boileroom, Fabric and Melkweg, remixes have been traded with Breakage, Dave Clarke & Mr Jones's _Unsubscribe_ project, followed by a  EP on Hypercolour and a release for Doc Scott's 31 Records. His new conceptual album piece ‘You Were Telling Me of Mountains’ has just been released, backed up with a hefty run of more dancefloor orientated tracks across Creme's new Jericho One imprint, Darkroom Dubs and coming soon, EPM.

DJ, artist and maker of sounds - Graeme's been collecting records, hosting nights and Djing for almost 30yrs - presenting an adventurous collage of sounds from left-field balearic to obscure cosmic disco, psychedelic ambience to synth-infused dub and more.

As an artist...a sound manipulist - taking basic building blocks of sound and warping them into wild structures. Fragments of moments become sonic swathes stretching into the distance. Whilst his recorded works tend toward the ambient end of the spectrum, his live shows can range from glistening soundscapes to full on noisefear...co-founder (and warped lunar decay half) of doombient sedimentary subsonic rock outfit Regolith....prefers to describe his work as sound not music....
