Killing the Light

Black Sun Empire feat Inne Eysermans - Killing The Light (June Miller Remix) - Clip

My take on Ternion Sound's track Detroit from their Artifice album!

Ternion Sound - DETROIT - Current Value Remix

COOH -DUALITY is out now on VINYL!

VINYL (180gr limited edition) : https://ivanshopov.bigcartel.com
Digital: https://ietheraudiorecords.bandcamp.com
Stream: https://ibfan.link/duality-1

Inspired by the wisdom from the Vedic literature, such as Bhagavad Gita, this album's mission is to show the duality of our lives. The constant battle between the moods of ignorance, passion and good. A journey to the deeper layers of our consciousness through sacred words and high voltage beats.

You are not who you think you are. You are not where you think you are. There is a prison around you but you don’t see its walls. There are invisible chains around your consciousness. You feel them sometimes…How do you escape from a prison that doesn’t exist? Why run away if you are convinced that this is your home?

The flash of knowledge illuminates your life and you see you and your cell for the first time. No matter how luxurious your prison is, you will never be happy there. It turns out the walls and chains are your lust, anger and greed. Now that you know your real enemies, how do you fight them?
You must embark on a quest for freedom. A journey to your own true self piercing through the layers of our false identities. You are much more. Find out your true colors.
words by Pandava

Across the undercity streets that lay beneath the hoverways of his home metropolis sped an inventor astride a singular scooter, a creation cobbled together from technologies long disregarded by most of his mechanically minded contemporaries. Though the roadways of the undercity had long laid untended and were now riddled with potholes, bumps, and obstacles of all sorts the inventor rode on undaunted, assured in the multifaceted capabilities of his two wheeled contraption.

Flanked by twin ride-along automaton’s that constantly aided in attending to the vehicle’s maintenance, the inventor headed his convoy with reckless abandon. A flick of the handlebars would engage a brief maglev pulse launching him sufficiently above any obstruction, whilst a set of inertial dampeners prevented any ill fated injuries on the return vector of any such launch. The vehicle’s wheelbase could be adjusted mid-ride, allowing for precise control or a smoother ride as the inventor saw fit, and he could rest himself upon the seat of an ancient bicycle should he wish, an item of rare provenance indeed given the longtime adoption of levitation based transportation by all those around him. Though he admired the technical feat of that transportation mode, the inventor far preferred his own device. To feel the road beneath one’s own feet was a luxury many had forgotten, and as he accelerated into the glistening urban night he relished in the freedom that he found in doing so.

CURRENT VALUE returns to EATBRAIN with ACCELERATION, speeding to the fore of the label’s horde with four inventive neurofunk sequences inspired by the components & creation of his own unique vehicle.

Forbidden Society - Esus EP [Neksus Sound]

A stripped-down selection of deep, gritty drum & bass. Four tracks exploring raw textures, subtle pressure, and dark atmospheres — staying true to the underground spirit of Neksus Sound.
I hope you enjoy it. Big thanks to the label for giving me full creative freedom — to me, Neksus Sound stands for forward-thinking and progressive music.

Vici - Cosmic Impact [Premiere]

After diving to the deepest floor of the sea, after all these years in hibernation, the shroud of forgotten is falling off. There will be signs on the lost horizon. But before you unveil what's happening, it will be all too late... IT is back. 

The surface trembles in silence, unaware of what brews below. The rusted chains of memory begin to snap one by one, echoes of ancient warnings clawing back into being. In every still reflection, in every moment too quiet to be safe, you will feel it — the presence watching from the fold between time and pressure. The tide has started to listen again.

And as the winds forget their direction and the stars blink with doubt, something older than fear itself rises. What once was locked away in myth now seeks a vessel — not to speak, but to become. You will not notice the change at first. A shadow a breath too long. A chill in the wrong room. But soon, the world will remember why it forgot.

@NOTEQUALmusic are back in full force, back at their safe and sinful space with absolute craftsmanship. And we are back as well!

Worldwide release date: March 25th 2013 (Exclusive to Beatport for two weeks)

With support from a stunning cross section of industry players – Chase & Status, Pendulum, Friction, Camo & Krooked, Loadstar, Rockwell, High Rankin, Feed Me – and a position in the top five best-selling albums of 2012 on Beatport, Black Sun Empire’s ‘From The Shadows’ LP was one of the Dutch trio’s biggest accomplishments in their fifteen year, five album history. To celebrate? They’re serving up this disgustingly massive remix compendium. 

Featuring some of the most exciting talents in drum & bass, each of the six remixes here offer a sizzling new slant on three of the album’s biggest tracks. All armed with their own character and uncompromising dynamics, it’s a challenge deciding which one to drop first…

‘All Is Lost’ starts the set with the perfect balance of emotional sonic star-gazing and gritty bottom-end welly. With stunning hymn-like vocals from Thomas Oliver and hype-hungry attitude from Youthstar, it’s widely regarded as one of the album’s boldest highlights. Naturally both Memtrix and Telekinesis have stepped up to the massive challenge. 

Lifted fave Memtrix goes first. Opening with teases of the original’s euphoric synths, he lets the vocals breath for one second before BANG: utter bassline sickness takes over. Complete sonic bombardment of the senses, there is no mistaking Memtrix’s direction and focus for this prime-time piece of D&B naughtiness. And there’s no mistaking the raw power of Telekinesis’s remix, either… Igniting with piano-primed ‘lighters up’ intro, we’re soon pushed into the deepest end of the darkness pool with Youthstar’s spitfire delivery, a gut-busting halfstep groove and a murder of distorted bass tones. Flipping to full D&B tempo midway, it’s a strident party piece that will stay in your wallet or playlist from now until the 23rd century.  

Next up, ‘Dawn Of A Dark Day’: A blazing unity of UK grime and Euro neuro, the day Black Sun Empire called up the Foreign Beggars for mic-duties was a game-changing day for the entire bass industry. Naturally both remixes pay respect to the fusion and fire of the original. Prolix takes the original’s swaggering halfstep intro and adds a touch more menace on the low-end and an industrial punch to the beats before dropping into a rampant, rolling speaker-smasher. No face will be left unmelted when you drop this. We guarantee it. Meanwhile Receptor adds his own interpretation with an instant uptempo kickstart and the creative use of drama-drenched cinematic strings and devilish Slayer-level guitars.  

‘Killing The Light’ brings us to a fitting climax with two of drum & bass most distinctive, forward-thinking acts on remix duties. Delicately dressed with the heart-melting vocals of Inne Eysermans, the raw emotion makes ‘Killing The Light’ the closest thing to a ballad Black Sun Empire will ever write. Paying respect to this, Icicle sharpens the kicks and snares, weaves haunting pads into the mix and takes the vocal to the darkest place imaginable. For those looking for more of a laser-snapping edge, look no further than June Miller’s remix; bolstered with a gargantuan bassline and searing sonic flares, the Dutch-Anglo duo have taken the softness and depth of the original and subverted into a priceless peaktime banger that NO D&B DJ should be without this season.
