We're stoked to release a brand new remix by the legendary Adrian Sherwood (OnU Sound) of "Transient Transmission", taken from our 2009 album "Rude Mechanicals".

The remix came about when Italian dub producer soundcloud.com/gaudi messaged to say he wanted us to be part of the second instalment of his Sub Signals series. He asked if we would be interested in approaching mutual friend Adrian Sherwood to remix one of his favourite tracks of ours, "Transient Transmission".

To help make something truely different, Mike reached out to Dave Fullwood from Ital Horns (who he'd been helping over lockdowns to record any trumpet parts he needed to supply) to re-interperet the song with a new melody. Once the new horn line was recorded, Mike then headed to Ramsgate for a day of dub and delay at OnU Sound Studios.

Adrian Sherwood's Delta B(0)=B remix of "Transient Transmission" is the second single from Gaudi's "Sub Signals, Vol.2", out December 12th - https://smarturl.it/subsignals2

20 Years of the Best

Triangle

Introducing the collaboration of two of the St Lucia Underground's greatest musical power houses. The prestigious lyricism of Mr Hill has collided with the wobbly beat magic of Desmond Cheese to produce the dopest of dope, head nodding, banger tracks the world ever see. Well... there pretty f**kin sick at least. Share and Enjoy!!

Kemal Begtaş?: “Personne qui est à l'origine… One of a kind…”
A keen Cretan and a remediless archivist of Smyrna at last makes a coming out with his debut official EP by underlining his interest in Native American culture while kickin’ up some dark dirt and dust with a little help from his friend; a local axe, Alper Uzun.

Wowovka - Kemal Begtaş

Pitch Black return with their fourth and possibly their best album so far. “Rude Mechanicals” embraces all that is good about dance music and electronica, spiced up by the trademark Pitch Black blend of echoes, delays and deep, fat basslines.

The band have always been avowed fans of music in general (as opposed to any one style in particular), and it certainly shows here: the album kicks off with the lush “South of the Line” before dubbing it up, year 3000 style, with “1000 Mile Drift”. “Sonic Colonic” kicks the tempo up a gear as the only real four-to-the-floor stomper on the album. “Bird Soul” reminds one that Paddy Free spent years producing Salmonella Dub, as it takes their guitar driven drum and bass style and wraps it in an ambient dub envelope.

“Harmonia” is an exquisite piece of electronica, reminiscent of Speedy J or Black Dog. It is followed by “Rude Mechanicals”, which marks a departure from the norm for the boys, featuring rapper KP from the infamous Sunshine Soundsystem, who waxes lyrical about the destruction being wrought on the planet by our environmental ignorance and general greed. “Fragile Ladders” provides some much needed breathing space before “Please Leave Quietly” destroys what is left of the bass speakers”!

Rude Mechanicals is a genre busting excursion in sound, heaving with warm basslines and complex rhythm’s, topped up by haunting melodies and, for a change, cutting social commentary. To adapt a previous quote about them, this album is like “Underworld meets King Tubby”, in all the best ways possible…………………………………..

Pitch Black are Michael Hodgson and Paddy Free. Having pumped their way through New Zealand’s electronic music scene since their inaugural performance at the annual Gathering New Year's eve festival in 1996, they have spent the subsequent years rousing dance floor punters, generating rave reviews, winning awards and gaining thousands of fans across the world. 

Hard to box into a single audio 'genre', Pitch Black is a combination of musical journeys. Their sound is distinctive; ranging from organic ambient beginnings and layered soundscapes to skanking keyboards, cutting acid riffs and thumping rhythmic grooves, with dub being the glue that holds their sound together. One critic has described them as like "Orbital meets King Tubby, or Rhythm and Sound in Technicolor". 

It is their live show that really makes Pitch Black stand out from the rest of the crowd, both sonically and visually. Their tracks take on an added dynamism and their performances reveal the dialectic behind the band - Paddy wants to do it for the crowd, Michael wants to do it to the crowd. Visually they are in another dimension thanks to Michael's cutting edge visuals.

They have toured the world relentlessly, playing everywhere from Amsterdam to Zagreb and the streets of Las Vegas to the Australian outback, supporting acts such as Coldcut, Skream, Easy Dub All Stars and System 7 along the way.
