Blackest Ever Black

Blackest Ever Black is a London-born music label that was founded by Kiran Sande in 2010. The label operated until 2019 and during its existence, it became known for its diverse range of musical genres and styles. Initially based in Berlin, the label later relocated back to London in 2016. With an impressive roster of artists and a commitment to pushing boundaries, Blackest Ever Black has left an indelible mark on the music industry.
Throughout its lifespan, Blackest Ever Black consistently showcased innovative and boundary-pushing music from various genres including electronic, experimental, industrial, and beyond. Under the guidance of Kiran Sande, the label cultivated a reputation for releasing thought-provoking and challenging records that pushed the boundaries of conventional sound.
With a strong emphasis on quality over quantity, each release from Blackest Ever Black was meticulously curated to offer listeners a unique sonic experience. The label's dedication to artistic integrity earned them respect within the industry and garnered a dedicated following of fans who appreciated their uncompromising approach to music.

Raime is an experimental project hailing from London, UK. It was formed by Joe Andrews and Tom Halstead. Their unique sound pushes the boundaries of electronic music, blending elements of ambient, industrial, and techno to create a truly immersive experience.
Inspired by artists such as Roly Porter, Emptyset, Demdike Stare, Vatican Shadow, Andy Stott, Pye Corner Audio, Kangding Ray, Forest Swords, Not Waving, Shackleton and more; Raime's music takes listeners on a journey through dark and atmospheric landscapes.
With their distinct style and innovative approach to sound production, Raime has gained a dedicated following in the underground music scene. Their compositions are hauntingly beautiful yet filled with tension and unease. Whether performing live or in the studio, Raime continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in electronic music.

Raime's second album, 'Tooth' is released on Blackest Ever Black. The widescreen melancholia of their 2012 debut, 'Quarter Turns Over A Living Line', gives way to an urgent and focussed futurism, in the shape of eight fiercely uptempo, minimal, meticulously crafted electro-acoustic rhythm tracks. The DNA of dub-techno, garage / grime and post-hardcore rock music spliced into sleek and predatory new forms. No let-up, no hesitation. Needlepoint guitar, deftly junglist drum programming, brooding synths and lethal sub-bass drive the engine. The production is immaculate, high definition. No hiss, no obscuring drones or extraneous noise: the music of Tooth is wide-open and exposed. The seeds of its supple dancehall biomechanics can be found in the self-titled 2013 EP by Raime side-project Moin, an ahead-of-its-time synthesis of art-rock and soundsystem sensibilities, but 'Tooth' pushes the template further, binding the disparate elements together so tightly that they become indistinguishable from one another. If 'Quarter Turns' was an album that confronted total loss and self-destruction, even longed for it, then 'Tooth' is the sound of resistance and counter-attack: cunning, quick, resolute; calling upon stealth as much as brute-force. At a time when so many pay lip service to experimentation without ever fully committing themselves or their work to it, Raime return from three years of deep, dedicated studio research with a bold and original new music: staunch, rude, and way out in front. 2LP - Double 180 Gram Gatefold and download card and 2 inserts. CD - Digipack.
