Kill The Lights

House Of Black Lanterns is the brand new project from Dylan Richards, formerly known as King Cannibal (Ninja Tune) and Zilla (Warp). Retaining the earlier influence of DJ Krust’s sprawling drum & bass soundscapes, House Of Black Lanterns sees Richards develop his sound to incorporate the dub-inflected techno textures of Rhythm & Sound whilst nodding to the catchy, yet occasionally bleak floorfillers of Trax, all inspired by the modern noir visual style of Michael Mann.

Featuring ‘Shot You Down’, co-written by Alpines’ Catherine Pockson, and vocals across the rest of the album from Trinidadian emcee Juakali, Planet Mu’s eccentric Rudi Zygadlo and British singer / songwriter Leni Ward, ‘Kill The Lights’ is dark but serene, with a beautiful range of tracks throughout.
