Bytes & Spanners (They’re Back!)

Posted on 15th June 2023 in Releases

Bytes & Spanners – two fan favourites that we’ve endured endless questions about over the years.

Finally, they’ve been lovingly remastered and repressed with some tasty new vinyl cuts. If you’d like a little piece of our history, go get your order in now. They’ll ship on the 4th of August 2023.

Bytes
The third album in the Artificial Intelligence series, Bytes was originally released in 1993 and this reissue marks the 30th anniversary. Black Dog Productions were Ed Handley, Andy Turner and Ken Downie. For this record, Handley, Turner and Downie appear under various guises: Atypic, Balil, I.A.O, Close Up Over, Xeper, Discordian Popes and Plaid.

Spanners
Originally released in 1995, Spanners is the second album from The Black Dog and their first for Warp Records. In 2017 it was selected by Pitchfork as one of ‘The 50 Best IDM Albums of All Time’. The reissue will be the first time the vinyl is available since its original pressing in 1995. After this release the original trio of Ed Handley, Andy Turner and Ken Downie went their separate ways – Handley and Turner formed Plaid, whilst Downie carried on with The Black Dog name, initially by himself, and latterly with the assistance of brothers Martin and Richard Dust.

The Reproduce EP – Coming July 2023

Posted on 12th June 2023 in Releases

The Reproduce EP by The Black Dog (Release Artwork)

Our third EP in support of The Grey Album is coming in July, titled “The Reproduce EP”. Featuring two brand new tracks “4PO” and “Star Dancer”, along with an extra rework of “Borstal Communications”, it will be available to stream and download on the 7th of July 2023.

“Here, we introduce The Black Dog’s latest EP, crafted right on the streets of Russell and Devonshire. Drawing inspiration from the explosive energy of The Human League and Heaven 17 during their break-up era, this release channels that same spirit of determination and resilience.

From the very first note, you can feel the intensity, as The Black Dog channel the creativity, passion and drive of these iconic bands. But the story doesn’t end there. This EP marks the third release in support of The Grey Album, expanding this powerful chapter in The Black Dog’s journey.

So come and experience this momentous occasion for yourself – the energy is electric, and the music will stay with you long after the last note has faded away.”
