There was no official new album release for Pitch Black in 2020, but as ever, there was a bunch of “new” stuff to keep fans satisfied. The duo celebrated the 20th anniversary of their Electronomicon album with a remastering and a long overdue vinyl release. That reissue was accompanied by an album of live cuts from the era, released digitally on Bandcamp as Electronomicon Live (and as a name-your-price). And of course there was the now obligatory remix project, with last year’s album Third Light getting the makeover treatment to morph into The Light Within. That release contained remixes by the likes of International Observer, Dubsalon, SUBSET, and Bodie, amongst others, but I’m going to select Adrian Sherwood’s dub mix of ‘A Doubtful Sound’ as my choice Kiwi cut:

Pitch Black vs Adrian Sherwood
When your all-time favourite producer remixes a track on the latest single from one of your all-time favourite local artists, it’s always going to be noteworthy enough to mention it on your otherwise rather inactive music blog, right?
In this case, that producer is On-U Sound guru and dubologist extraordinaire Adrian Sherwood, and that artist is the equally adored electronic-dub duo Pitch Black. The single is the title track from Pitch Black’s 2019 album Third Light, and it features three mixes of the track – the bass-tastic original, a mix from Portland producer Bodie, and the pick of the bunch, naturally, Sherwood’s Echoes of the Night Dub Mix.
It can be picked up on Bandcamp for less than the price of a cup of coffee … or £2 in regular currency. Grab it.

Choice Kiwi Cuts 2019: Pitch Black - One Ton Skank
Pitch Black are
firm local favourites of this blog. 2019 saw the dynamic techno-dub duo return
with yet another extraordinary album, Third Light, and while I could probably lift
any track from that set to feature here, ‘One Ton Skank’ perhaps best represents
everything that makes Pitch Black so special. These guys continue to stay one step
ahead of the chasing pack ...
