Shining Bright Star Out Today!Black Strobe | 16 April 2007

Black Strobe’s ‘Shining Bright Star’ is out today on CD/EP, 2×12” vinyl and Download. The single Mixmag called “A vital purchase from the dark lords of electro” was produced by Paul Epworth (Bloc Party) and mixed by Alan Moulder (Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson).

For the uninitiated, ‘Shining Bright Star’ is a mass of dark, gothic, electronic twists and huge basslines, and according to NME provides the missing link between “savage machinery and warm, fragile humanity.”

It’s Cyborgtastic mate!

Black Strobe’s debut artist album is due in the summer.

Judge's Strobe!Black Strobe | 08 December 2006

Check this! Dark Parisian electro mastors Black Strobe have just brought out their era defining ‘Shining Bright Star’ on Playlouderecordings, and to celebrate we have the competition to end all competitions.

Yes, that Paul Epworth has had a go, and even band members Ivan and Arnaud have twiddled a few knobs, but now it’s your turn to show who wears the kinkiest boots round these parts. Hmmm.

That’s right – if you make the tastiest, most succulent, most bodacious version of ‘Shining Bright Star’ ever, or if it’s better than all the other people’s that enter the competition, then you will get your remix released and earn a proper remix fee! Kin’ A!

So get on it. Go to http://www.remixblackstrobe.com/ and prepare to blow everyone away!

Black Strobe Remix Nitzer EbbBlack Strobe | 19 April 2006

Black Strobe are set to release a remix of their EBM heroes Nitzer Ebb.

The track ‘Getting Closer’ by the industrial dance crew has been transformed into a futuristic synth growler that is Black Strobe at their best: a perfect fusion of tough electro and EBM rhythms.

Nitzer Ebb came to prominence in the 80s with a new form of tough robotic dance that came to be known as Electronic Body Music, and paved the way for techno, influencing Black Strobe in the process.

Watch this space for the release date…
