Part of a nebula that also included The Black Dog Productions and Plaid, The Black Dog emerged in 1989 as a trio of London DJs and producers with an equal love of hip-hop and techno. Four years later, Ed Handley, Andy Turner and Ken Brownie signed their first masterpiece, Bytes, followed by Spanners in 1995. A proponent of cerebral techno, sometimes referred to as "living-room techno", Ken Downie continued to work alone or in collaboration, while his two colleagues concentrated on Plaid. The result is Music For Adverts (1996), Unsavoury Products and Genetically Modified with Black Sifichi (2002-2003), Silenced (2005), Radio Scarecrow (2008), Further Vexations (2009) and Music For Real Airports (2010) with Martin and Richard Dust. In 2011 follows Liber Dogma and in 2013, Tranklements, before the appearance of Neither/Neither in 2015.
