BLACK SUN EMPIRE

'DRIVING INSANE'

BLACK SUN EMPIRE
4LP/2CD

(MARCH 2004)

Black Sun Empire (brothers Micha & Milan Heyboer and Rene Verdult) touch down with their eagerly awaited debut album 'Driving Insane' on their own B.S.E. label.

Full of dirty rolling tech-step drum'n'bass with amazing production giving a thick full-on sound throughout, DJ’s all over the globe have been getting nasty to these tunes for a while now, so here’s your chance!

The album features eight tracks – ‘Arrakis’ is loosely based on the original soundtrack of a well known sci‑fi movie with spooky mantra-like intro followed by a trancey breakdown; ‘Don’t You’ is a dark and funky roller in the style of Black Sun Empire’s earlier tracks ‘The Rat’ and ‘Stone Faces’; ‘Breach’ has deep rolling beats, emotional melodies and a heavy rolling bass; ‘B’Negative (SKC & Chris Su Remix)’ takes the original to the next level with an epic intro and a bad ass drop guaranteed to get a crowd moving; ‘Driving Insane’ brings heavily effected vocals and four-to-the-floor influences, but quickly changes to one of the loudest tunes Black Sun Empire’s ever done; ‘The Rat (Kemal Remix)’ is a remix of the first release on BSE Recordings and the result is a beautiful atmospheric but perfectly danceable track; ‘Stasis’ is the true techno sound for 2004 – hard and melodic and works very, very well on the dancefloor; ‘Swipe’ is a trance influenced dark funky roller with a grimy bassline.
