Pitch Dark Records

Out today. The final chapter in this part of the PDR story.

Low Entropy joins us again with his own unmistakable sound

Out now! PDR041 and we welcome back Sumerian Ancestry.

Kicking things off is Involuntary Possession. A downtempo affair laden with layers of grinding noise, head mashing kick patterns and darker pads. This is the sound of nightmares.

The second track is Offensive Measures. And for this the pace is cranked up making for a much more intense affair. The noises are ll there. It still grinds. it still carries that underlying aggression that all Sumerian Ancestry tracks have. It just does it for the dance floor. And it will not disappoint.

Finally we have Unholy Existence's take on Involuntary Possession. This remix takes the original, chews it up and spits out a monster. Definitely the most unique remix to feature on a Pitch Dark release.

Available on all digital platforms and streaming services now!

Don't cry because it happened, smile because it's over. Kinda...

It's time. PDR as it currently is will be coming to an end.

It's been just under 5 years since the first release. By the time the 2 releases which are being readied to go are out we'll have put out 42 on the main label and 2 Rave Series releases. Each and every release has been special in it's own way. From named artist to those you'd probably never heard of until their release.

Over the last 2 to 3 years the scene has changed massively. What techno has become isn't what PDR is, or will ever be. The release frequency has dropped off significantly as we just don't get many demos we like anymore.

We aren't going away, there's still 2 nailer releases to come.

Then it'll be time for a break. May be a short break, may be a long one. Take time to think is it really worth it now?

Until then, I'd like to thank everyone who trusted us with their music. To everyone who bought, played, streamed and downloaded illegally, you have my thanks too.

Two releases to go, better make them count!

Out today on all platforms.

Barcelona's Silent Humanity delivers 2 tracks of dancefloor mayhem.

PDR040 - Silent Humanity, by Silent Humanity 2 track album

Something I get asked often is if/when there will be records released on Pitch Dark Records. It’s something that’s being looked at but the practicalities of doing full vinyl releases just now doesn’t make sense, given established labels currently have a wait time of up to 12 months for pressing.

With that being said I’ve been speaking with another producer and we’re looking at doing short run lathe cut records. Very limited quantities (approx 20 per release). Individually stamped and numbered.

The cost of these is slightly higher, £15-£20 per record. Each release would have 4 tracks on.

Just gauging what interest there would be in these?

Out now! Two tracks of industrial, grinding devastation from Sumerian Ancestry

We're back! After months of back and forth we finally have the page back under our control!

In that time 2 releases have went out and it's a bit s**t we couldn't give them the promotion the deserve, so it's catch up time!

Back in April Mythikas had their first release with us, 2 proper techno stompers.

And then in June Pan El Diablo also had his debut with us with 2 heavy rave numbers.

Links to both releases are in the comments below.

We also have the next 3 releases lined up and ready to go. PDR is back!

Good old scheduling tools fail again...

Out now! From Scotland's Denizens, and backed by a Kenny Campbell remix.
