Music For Real Airports (5 CD Boxset) – Available Now

Posted on 4th June 2026 in Mixes, Releases

Music For Real Airports (5 CD Boxset) by The Black Dog - Promotional artwork

Collected together for the first time, this five-CD box set brings together the various works from the Music For Real Airports project.

The collection not only includes Music For Real Airports, Music For Airport Lounges, and Music For Dead Airports, but also features a substantial amount of new, unheard material, alternate mixes and live recordings taken from our archive. This second box set reflects a long and uneasy relationship with airports.

After years spent sitting in airports, travelling to and from gigs, we have seen past the polished surfaces and the promises of comfort and efficiency. They present a controlled fiction, a managed calm built on delay, surveillance and routine.

Across five hours of music, much of it previously unheard and available for the first time, the box set confronts the modern reality of travel and the corporate structures that shape it. The music documents these spaces as they are experienced rather than as they are sold.

Loud Ambient EP2 by The Black Dog (Release Artwork)

This EP marks the final works on Loud Ambient. For now, anyway. Here we present three tracks built around colour fields, with drum machines driving everything forward, and where the internal and external spaces collapse into each other.

The work with Loud Ambient has been rewarding and well-received. Still, it ends here. A line has been drawn.

Artwork on the studio walls feeds back into the sound. Image becomes system. System becomes loop. This EP stretches further than usual. Not wider. Just less contained. This is a marker for what comes next.

Thank you for all the support and love. This EP is free to download or pay what you want.

Loud Ambient 2 – Coming 3rd of April 2026

Posted on 19th February 2026 in Releases

Loud Ambient 2 picks up directly from where Loud Ambient left off. After picking the drum machines back up, we returned to the colourfield ideas that shaped the first record. Rothko remained a key reference, alongside a strong recommendation to spend time with the work of Josef Albers. We did exactly that, and it paid off.

Alongside the music, we created 50 new pieces of artwork for Loud Ambient 2. These became tools rather than decorations. Working this way felt open and rewarding, and brought a real sense of play back into the process. We already understood what a Loud Ambient track could be, so slipping back into that headspace felt natural. The tracks came together quickly, full of energy, movement and that familiar noodle quality.

The creative side landed easily this time. There is something about working with colourfields that frees you up and pushes you further into abstraction. It removes hesitation and keeps the focus on instinct and response.

With the drum machines and synths loaded, we kept our heads down and made the kind of music we want to hear on a dance floor. Loud Ambient 2 is the result.

Loud Ambient EP 1

Posted on 19th February 2026 in Releases

Loud Ambient EP 1 by The Black Dog, release artwork.

This EP was made to sit alongside the album Loud Ambient. For this release we shifted into a more relaxed headspace across all four tracks. The drum machines are still front and centre, but the focus moves toward space, tone and pacing rather than pressure.

We spent time working with different colour fields and developing artwork that runs in parallel with the music. The visual side follows the same approach as the tracks themselves. Calm, considered and deliberate.

Each track brings its own character, but they lock together cleanly. The result is a focused four track EP that works as a complete piece rather than a set of loose ideas.
