Cost I Appears on Soma 1 » Jaunty but sinister, catchy but obscure, trust us: this far-out electronica piece is a pop song at heart. Log in to download tracks |

Riphead v2 Appears on Soma 2 » Imagine Airports-period Eno, dancing to a woozy house beat, with a chainsaw, when a bigger, smoother beat kicks in and he starts voguing like a robot in a Daft Punk vid. Then listen to this. Yeah? Log in to download tracks |
The Black Dog don't really need an introduction. Highly regarded as one of the most influential figures in the British electronica scene, they are synonymous with the rise of electronic music in the UK. Their rhythmic inventiveness coupled with their deep and innovative approach to music in general made them pioneers of UK techno, heralding a new breed of music entirely.
Their classic 'Parallel', 'Bytes' and 'Spanners' albums literally created new fields of music. Taking Detroit techno, warping it, and smudging the boundaries gave UK techno a music of it's own and as a result the band only grew as the scene developed.
Beyond these works The Black Dog love to experiment with their sound. Working with writer, performer and spoken word maestro The Black Sifichi on the 2002 Genetically Modified showed another side to their work. Alongside their numerous remixes which extend from Bjork to reworking the soundtrack of the classic Steve McQueen film ‘Bullitt’ The Black Dog clearly have vast diversity to their sound.
