Black Sun Empire bio
Black Sun Empire represent the finest in dark and techy dancefloor drum & bass. Since bursting onto the scene back in 2000, they’ve continued to develop their own unique style and sound, releasing numerous singles as well as four full-length LPs and establishing themselves as leaders in the field. With their awesome DJ skills and inspirational productions, Black Sun Empire have reached far beyond their native Holland. They’ve toured the world over, with highlights this year including Glastonbury and numerous other festival appearances, and continue to build on their growing reputation as some of the most exciting and consistent performers around. 'Lights and Wires' is their fourth LP, released in November 2010, and demonstrates their versatility across tempos whilst still staying true to their own sound.
Borne of brothers Milan and Micha Heyboer along with René Verdult, Black Sun Empire is a DJ/producer collective based in Utrecht, The Netherlands. Since first making music together in 1993, the trio experimented with various styles until they found their musical direction around 1997 and formed Black Sun Empire. Heavily influenced by releases from the darker labels such as No U Turn, Prototype and Virus, they took the techstep drum & bass blueprint and set out to make a new sound of their own.
With a sound that was fresh, new and progressive, their early demos caught the ears of several well-established labels. Their debut release came courtesy of Rotterdam based label Piruh in 1999 with the tracks ‘Skin Deep’ and ‘Voltage’ and further release on Piruh and another Dutch imprint, DJ Esta’s “A New Dawn,” soon followed. It wasn’t long, however, before their technically proficient productions came to the attention of Trace, the long-serving DJ and techstep pioneer, and he invited Black Sun Empire to compose a remix for his label DSCi4. They took on the classic “Mutant Jazz,” and provided a remix of truly devastating proportions that announced Black Sun Empire on the UK and indeed the world scene.
Further release on DSCi4 came and were followed by remixes for SKC and Technical Itch before, in 2002, the boys decided to start a label of their own. Set up as an outlet for their increasing body of work, Black Sun Empire Recordings became home for their own productions as well as collaborations with other like-minded artists. Their first album ‘Driving Insane’ was released in 2004 to critical acclaim and featured work with the collective talents of Concord Dawn and Stu from Cause 4 Concern alongside their own material. Deft, dynamic, devastating and deranged the album announced that the day of the Dutch was dawning. Supported by a mix CD, it showcased their sound in style and coincided with a highly successful world tour, taking in dates across the UK, Europe, USA and Australia.
Motivated by the massive response they had received, the boys followed up with their second long-player, ‘Cruel and Unusual’, in 2005. Raising the banner of the Black Sun Empire even higher than before, the LP featured further collaborative work with yet more high-profile artists including Noisia, Corrupt Souls and Kemal. Feeling the urge to satisfy other sides of their collective psyche, a sister label was established in the form of “oBSEssions.” Designed to cater for atmospheric, unusual and funky flavours, this label is certainly no lightweight and proven itself as one to watch with releases from the likes of Chris SU, Noisia and SKC so far alongside newer names.
Never losing touch with their roots, Black Sun Empire continue to promote their bi-monthly event ‘Blackout’ in their home town of Utrecht and are looking forward to it's seventh year aniversary in 2010. This well-established event has attracted some of the best in DJ talent from across the globe and regularly draws crowds of up to 1,000 people. As resident DJs, Black Sun Empire consistently captivate the crowds by mixing their freshest material together with live elements to bring an edge to their sets.
Their most recent LP, ‘Endangered Species,’ drew together creative minds from across the drum & bass scene with input from Noisia, Bad Robot, Chris SU, Jade, State Of Mind, D.Kay, Optiv and Audio all featuring alongside BSE. The resulting tour was a resounding success worldwide with nearly 100 gigs and was soon followed by last year’s ‘My Lightyear LP’ Tour alongside Telemetrik, to promote his debut album on BSE Recordings. In 2009, BSE stayed on a roll with a whole raft of releases across their labels including collaborations with State Of Mind, N.Phect and Eye-D and opened their dubstep label, “Shadows of the Empire.”
November 2010 brings the release of their fourth LP "Lights and Wires" and an accompanying world tour, taking them to the USA, Australia, New Zealand and beyond. With more releases planned across their labels and more in store for their own night Blackout, it's plain to see why they're widely regarded as one of the hardest working DJ/producer teams around.
Black Sun Empire tunnetaan Suomessa väkevistä esiintymisistä ja täkäläiseen makuun hyvin uppoavasta soundista. Tummaa ja menevää, mutta hyvällä virneellä höystettynä. Heidän aiemmat esiintymisensä Helsingissä ja Tampereella ovat jääneet mieleen hävyttömän väkevinä bilesetteinä, eikä tämänkertainen vierailu varmasti jätä myöskään kylmäksi. Precision Audion äänentoistosta Black Sun Empiren soundit nostavat ihokarvat pystyyn jo ajatuksen tasolla.
Venuen Basstards -illat tarjoavat laadukasta drum'n'bassia kuukausittain. Vierailevat artistit täyttävät aina seuraavat kriteerit: ajankohtaista soundia, taidokasta miksaustyöskentelyä, sekä hyvä meininki dekkien takana. Kotimaisista Dj Genki on ollut Basstardsin tukena alusta lähtien, tehden taustatyötä ja dekkivuoroja sekä pääsalissa, että panorama -baariin puolella. BSE -bileissä hän lämmittelee pääsalin kaiuttimia yhdessä nuoren sepän 3bolan kanssa rullaavalla neurofunkilla. Ennen BSE:tä pääsalissa esiintyy Luna Chill, jonka viime aikojen setit eivät ole jättäneet kauheasti lisättävää - erittäin tiukkaa settiä tulossa.
Panorama -baarin puolella veivaa Basstardsin luottomiehistä Prospero, sekä aivan pian maailmallekin breikkaava dubstep -artisti Dullatron. Monipuolinen kattaus siis luvassa, ja paljon uutta verta dekeillä. Juuri niinkuin pitääkin olla!
