Ov Mind, Ov Magick, The Black Dog Live At BEMF, Bozar CDr

Posted on 10th April 2009 in Gigs, Releases

We’ve just finished mastering the live recording from BEMF, Bozar and we’re pretty pleased with the results. We’ve only had to edit out two pieces of music out to ensure it fits on a CDr, the total runtime is 73 minutes.

We’ve also ended up making up 110 units as we forgot to turn off the special offer on our website and a few more people put orders in, so rather than disappoint we’ve add 10 more units to the original 100, we hope you lot don’t mind.

Many thanks to all the people that mailed in offering money, kit and their wife’s/girlfriend’s to try and get a copy but we’ll have to turn you down, sorry. Many thanks to all those who have supported us live and purchased things from Duststore, it really does help us pay the rent and continue to spend our time making music rather than doing something we’d rather not.

1. Ov Mind

Friends Ov The Black Dog – Scanner & Olga Mink

Posted on 18th February 2009 in News

Over the years we’ve be looking for strong visual artists to work with but having seen far too many bad club visuals and VJ’s playing videos of a cartoon Arnold Schwarzenegger smoking a joint we’d almost given up hope! A call from a friend said that we should go and check out Scanner and Olga’s work. We’ve been following Robin’s work for some time but living in the studio or on the road for the last two years  meant we’d missed out on his latest work. After some research we found this absolutely astounding piece of work from Robin and Olga:

Further investigation just revealed even more pieces of work we instantly fell in love with, please check out Olga’s work on the link below and Scanners work by Clicking Here.

We’ll be playing a special ambient/electronica set with Olga on 21st March – Belgium – Bozar

The Black Dog with Olga Mink & Dopplereffekt 21.03.09 Brussels

Posted on 29th January 2009 in Gigs

The Black Dog Live, Dopplereffekt, 
Mugwump Dj Set , Krikor , Danton Eeprom Live , Matias Aguayo , Michael Mayer vs Superpitcher Dj Set as Supermayer , D A R K O , Varoslav , dOP Live , Guy Gerber Live , DJ Morpheus , Discodesafinado Live , Svarte Greiner Live , Millimetrik Live 

With its mix of beats and melodies, the German label Kompakt has been in the vanguard of the minimal-techno scene for over ten years now. It will set the tone for an evening with a clubbing emphasis (VarOslaV, Guy Gerber, DJ Morpheus, and Darko), but that will also allow for excursions – in seated concerts – towards more atmospheric kinds of music, exploring new sound textures (Svarte Greiner and Millimetrik). Plus rare appearances by those two legendary giants of the world of electronic music, Dopplereffekt and The Black Dog 

The Black Dog will be doing a special ambient set with video artist Olga Mink.
