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

We are hostile aliens, immune from dying...  Live in  Second Life and love most electronica.

 Burial is god. Dub is food... let's eat!!!

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.
