Black Holes have kindly allowed me to post a bunch of their tunes. Who are Black Holes? Well, they’re the new kids on the block, wielding everything you possibly need to catch the attention of the blogs right now – buzzy basslines, weighty synths, bmore drum work and a hype that’s got them down as the next Crookers. Let’s ignore the ‘next Crookers’ label because… well… they’re probably getting a little bored of that (or alternatively getting very excited, bearing in mind Crookers’ rapid ascent to fame once the blogs started plugging the hell out of their tunes).
It’s Black Holes’ ‘I’m A Beast’ that really caught my eye. I can’t get enough of those clattering bmore drums right now. And here they provide the perfect build up to a huge drop into an all-buzzing bassline. The fizzing, crackling noise relentlessly whirs and thuds around your ears, giving it a big-room feel. No doubt killer on the dancelfoor:
Black Holes – I’m A Beast [pelski highly recommends]
Black Holes hail from Chicago and are Mike Perry and Harry Hart and, according to hot biscuit, the latter interned with Simian Mobile Disco. Not a bad place to start. Here we have the excellent ‘War Drums’ and a couple of remixes with more hefty synths, that roll along nicely to the choppy drum patterns. (Also check out their Little Jinders remix that won them the Trouble & Bass remix competition on their myspace) With the cut-up vocals snippets and bouncy drums the word ‘crunk’ springs to mind, but then so does ‘Crookers’…and I promised not to mention them again… anyways, eat these up:
Black Holes – War Drums
Hollywood Holt – Caked Up (Black Holes Remix)
They’ve promised to send Pelski any new material, so prepare to hear more from Black Holes.
