The Black Dog is an influential electronic music group that was formerly a trio consisting of Ken Downie, Ed Handley, and Andy Turner. Originally known as Black Dog Productions, Ed and Andy later left to focus on their Plaid project. Ken continued to work under the name Black Dog with various line-ups before taking a break from the music scene. After this hiatus, he teamed up with Martin Dust and Richard Dust from Dust Science Recordings.
With their innovative sound and experimental approach, The Black Dog has made a significant impact on the electronic music genre. Their collaborations with other artists have resulted in groundbreaking releases that continue to resonate with fans worldwide.
As pioneers in the industry, The Black Dog's unique blend of techno, ambient, and IDM (Intelligent Dance Music) has earned them critical acclaim and a dedicated following. With their latest lineup featuring Martin Dust and Richard Dust, they are poised to push boundaries once again and deliver captivating musical experiences for years to come.

Back In Stock

Originally released in 1995, Spanners is the second album from The Black Dog and their first for Warp Records. In 2017 it was selected by Pitchfork as one of 'The 50 Best IDM Albums of All Time'. The reissue will be the first time the vinyl is available since its original pressing in 1995. After this release the original trio of Ed Handley, Andy Turner and Ken Downie went their separate ways - Handley and Turner formed Plaid, whilst Downie carried on with The Black Dog name, initially by himself, and latterly with the assistance of brothers Martin and Richard Dust.
