An artist synonymous with Drum and Bass, Ed Rush has become a byword for cutting edge, forward thinking
beats. Moving through the sounds of hip hop and electro in his early musical years, Ed Rush soon became
interested in the emerging London jungle scene.
Showing his innate ability to manipulate chopped breakbeats and piles of sub-low bass, it wasn't long before Ed
Rush and Nico dropped the huge 'Bludclot Artattack'. The first classic to Ed Rush’s name, this proved to be a
platform for another collaboration with DJ Trace. Simultaneously developing his own style whilst pushing the
boundaries of a genre, classics such as ‘The Mutant' and 'Guncheck' put Ed Rush’s attitude injected productions
firmly on the map.
One of the pioneers of new sound dubbed Techstep, Ed Rush soon teamed up within another leading light,
Optical; to form what would become one of the most progressive production teams in the scene. In 1998, Ed
Rush & Optical released an album universally recognized as changing the landscape of Drum and Bass forever
with the legendary, ‘Wormhole’ on Virus Recordings. Still regarded as one of the main catalysts for the Neuro and
Techstep sound, ‘Wormhole’ paved the way for household names such as Noisia, Bad Company and many more.
Since then Ed Rush has released a plethora of genre-defining tracks and albums, both solo and with his partner in
crime, Optical. Still busy at work on a new Ed Rush & Optical LP due in late 2013, Ed Rush is not merely content
with helping shape the scene and remaining one of its most consistent producers. Beginning his own venture, he
now looks to the future with the birth of Piranha Pool. An outlet for showcasing new talent and veterans alike,
Piranha Pool represents what will be the future of Drum and Bass.

What's the perfect music for modern trance dance ceremonies of the 21st century? Obviously there's no simple answer to this question. Fast, hard rhythms and cascades of spaced-out sound effects prove to be an excellent medium for journeys to Inner Space. However, mellow grooves and dreamy melodies work just as fine to make the feet moving and the mind drifting away to alien worlds. That's why Black Out Records is not about a particular style, a particular genre. It's about deep, psychedelic sound – in all its synapse-tickling variety.

Label founder DJ Psycko has witnessed the musical evolution of the scene since 2000, both as an eager party freak and as a passionate DJ. During all these years he has seen the change of the psychedelic seasons, new subgenres popping up, trends coming and going. In face of this dynamic development he never restricted himself to a particular style. That's why his brainchild Black Out Music, born in 2015, is meant to be a universal interface between Trance freaks and producers. The sound of the label oscillates around psychedelic deepness – 'Electronic Trance' would probably be the best description, as this term says everything and nothing.

Was ist die beste Musik für die modernen Trance-Tanz Zeremonien des 21. Jahrhunderts? Eine eindeutige Antwort darauf gibt es nicht. Schnelle, harte Rhythmen und weltfremde Soundeffekt-Kaskaden eigenen sich hervorragend für Reisen in den Inneren Kosmos. Aber mit entspannten, groovigen Klängen und verträumten Melodien lässt sich ebenfalls großes Kopfkino herbei zaubern. Aus genau diesem Grund geht es bei Black Out Records nicht um ein bestimmtes Genre, einen bestimmten Stil. Es handelt sich vielmehr um ein Open Source Projekt für deepen, psychedelischen Sound in all seiner synapsenkitzelnden Vielfalt.

Schon seit 2000 beobachtet Labelgründer DJ Psycko das musikalische Szenegeschehen mit ungebrochener Begeisterung – auf der Tanze und hinterm Mischpult. Im Laufe der Jahre hat er erlebt, wie neue Subgenres entstanden sind, wie Trends kamen und gingen. Auf einen bestimmten Style festlegen konnte er sich angesichts dieser Tatsache nie. Deshalb versteht sich das 2015 ins Leben gerufene Black Out Records auch eher als universelle Schnittstelle zwischen Trance-Freaks und Produzenten. Erlaubt ist alles, was aufgrund von psychedelischem Tiefgang Spaß macht. Deshalb spricht er auch gerne von 'Electronic Trance' – ein Begriff, der auf wunderbare Weise alles und nichts sagt.
