BEATOLOGY / CRUSH DNB present... wednesday aug. 2nd BLACK SUN EMPIRE  Black Sun Empire is a DJ/producer collective based in Utrecht, The Netherlands. It was formed by René Verdult, Milan Heyboer and his younger brother Micha Heyboer. They have been making music together since early 1993 but after experimenting with various styles they found their musical direction around 1997, which resulted in the formation of Black Sun Empire. Heavily influenced by releases from the darker labels such as No U Turn, Prototype and Virus, drum’n’bass has been their main focus from then on. Around this period they started making demos and sent them around to Dutch labels. This resulted in the release of their tracks Skin Deep and Voltage, on the Rotterdam based label Piruh in 1999. Their next release was Piruh003, which consisted of the tracks The Silent and Bombrun and they also had a 12” on “A New Dawn” the Dutch label run by DJ Esta. While these releases were doing well, they felt they wanted more exposure. CDs were sent, this time to labels in the UK, still the home of drum’n’bass. It didn’t take long to get response. DJ Trace was the first to get in touch with them and immediately signed Black Sun Empire to his massive label DSCI4. Bad Company would come calling a few days later but by then it was too late, all tracks had been signed… Their first release on DSCI4 was a Mutationz remix. It came out on the Mutationz EP alongside three other remixes of DJ Trace’s classic track by Stakka & Skynet, Shimon and Kemal. After this, two of their tracks, Firing Squad and Radiation, were released on Trace’s album ‘23 degrees from vertical’, which also featured tracks from the likes of Matrix, Optical & Ed Rush, Kemal & Rob Data, Marcus Intalex, Technical Itch, Stakka & Skynet and Trace himself. Following that, Black Sun Empire released an EP on DSCI4 last July, containing the tracks Smoke, Asphyxiation, Geiger and 1-800 Contact. During this time they also did remixes for SKC (Recharcher) and Technical Itch (Telekinetic) on Nerve and Penetration respectively. As more positive response was coming from around the world, they decided it was time to start their own label ‘Black Sun Empire Recordings’. The first release on this new imprint came out in October 2002 and held two of their own tracks, the funky dancefloor smasher “The Rat” flipped with the dark techy roller “B’Negative”. Always looking for new talent they spotted some very promising newcomers in the USA (Benjie from LA and ICBM from Florida) and in Oslo they found Rawthang who previously had gotten very little interest with their blend of vocals and dark mash-up style beats and basses. Constant DJ support includes: Ed Rush, Fierce, Tech Itch, Trace, Kemal, Skynet, Dylan, Grooverider, Friction & Cause4Concern and from the USA: Dieselboy, AK1200 & Hive. It didn’t stop there though, every 2 to 3 months saw another release on this growing label and their reputation as DJ’s who bring the latest in everything from funky, techno influenced dancefloortracks to hard hitting darkness, grew larger. To their regular gigs in Europe, two tours in the USA followed, and even a gig in Russia. Looking around in their hometown they found drum and bass in a sad state. The crowds had to do without a quality night and black sun empire decided to provide them with one. These “BLACKOUT” parties became very popular and consistently drew 800 to 1000 people to the old centre of Utrecht. Even people from other towns come over (not to mention other countries) to see the blend of international DJs the boys gathered for this bi-monthly event. The first half of 2004, marks the timeframe for their ‘Driving Insane’ album tour that covers large parts of Europe including Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Spain, Hungary, Portugal, Greece, Bulgaria, Belgium, Holland, France and the notoriously hard to conquer United Kingdom. Further trips to the USA and Australia are set to go down in Summer. With their LP forthcoming on their own imprint (including remixes of classics “The Rat” and “B’negative” provided by Kemal and SKC/Chris.su respectively and a collaboration with CAUSE4CONCERN) and many exciting new projects in the pipeline, the future looks very promising for black sun empire.
