Drown

House of Black Lanterns is the latest artistic guise of Dylan Richards, formerly known as King Cannibal on Ninja Tune and Zilla on Warp.¬† House of Black Lanterns offers a defined change in vision and style with his debut album ‚ Kill The Lights‚ on fabric‚ s Houndstooth imprint gaining critical acclaim.¬† In between sets at both Berghain and Panorama Bar, The Roundhouse, Boiler Room, fabric and Melkweg, remixes have been traded with Breakage, Dave Clarke & Mr Jones’ _Unsubscribe_ project, followed by an EP on Hypercolour and a release for Doc Scott‚ s 31 Records.¬† His second conceptual album piece ‚ You Were Telling Me of Mountains‚ was released at the end of 2015, backed up with a hefty run of more dancefloor orientated tracks across Cr√®me‚ s new Jericho One imprint, Darkroom Dubs and now EPMMusic.
The dub techno of ‚ Drown‚ sets a strikingly atmospheric tone from the onset, with its subterranean soundscape spreading into a pulsating groove, with a splash of poignant melody and bursts of breathy vocal.
The original is presented alongside equally first-rate remixes from Rodz-Konez label head, Makaton who has also released EPs for Token and Blueprint
