Allegory 3 [Blue] – Arriving 7th August 2020

Posted on 1st July 2020 in News, Releases

“With the final EP of the trilogy, Allegory 3 [Blue] provides a perfect full stop to the project, the perfect meditation.

Still working with the stripped-back model to lay the emotion bare and to take the risk of not hiding behind a thousand layers, The Black Dog continue to develop the music they fell in love with. We call it techno.”

Allegory 2 [Green] – 3rd July 2020

Posted on 26th June 2020 in Releases

Allegory 2 [Green] by The Black Dog

On the second Allegory EP, we deliver three tracks following on from where Allegory 1 [Red] started, going more minimal and returning to the source; the groove.

“If you could throw your arms around cold concrete and steel, then this would be the music to play during such an embrace. There’s a beauty in brutality and sometimes, the eyes and ears don’t immediately understand it. Those who understand, will, while others continue to know the price of everything and the value of nothing.”

Kärntnertor Remix Project

Posted on 10th June 2020 in Patreon, Studio & Production

Kärntnertor Remix Pack: Ableton Live and WAV Stems

<a href="http://duststoredigital.com/album/allegory-1-red">Allegory 1 [Red] by The Black Dog</a>

People do regularly ask how we make stuff, so for our supporters on Patreon, we’ve provided an Ableton Live Pack (.alp) and 24-bit stems (.zip) for our track “Kärntnertor”, taken from the “Allegory 1 [Red]” EP.

This should give you an idea of how it’s made and what’s actually happening to create the mix. The track runs at 123bpm, which is fairly sedate compared to a lot of techno at the moment, but it’s all centred around that big filthy bass groove, so the speed isn’t all that important.

We’ve simplified things slightly by swapping custom VSTs for stock Ableton plugins and flattening parts where necessary and for those working with other DAW software, we’ve provided a separate download containing the bus stems as 24bit WAV files.

To get this and loads more exclusive stuff, you can join for the price of a decent beer:
