Founded by FACT magazine editor Kiran Sande, Blackest Ever Black explores the fringes of abstract dub-step, techno and dark industrial sounds with much vaunted releases by Regis, London based group Raime and John Mendez's new wave project Tropic Of Cancer.
This EP is featured in Update #070:
Modeselektor, Roman Flügel, Four Tet, Joakim
Modeselektor are back! After four years spent with Moderat and setting up their own label the Berlin pranksters return with their eagerly awaited third album, 'Monkeytown'. Don't just stop reading there however, as September was ripe with many more fantastic more...
Seemingly alluding to the ongoing conflict in Syria, Karl O'Connor drops his first proper Regis release in a decade via London's Blackest Ever Black. 'Blood Witness' (also included in a live version with Mick 'Scorn' Harris) travels down a dark, percussive path, while 'Blinding Horses' introduces shifting drones as a central theme. Powerful stuff.
