The latest artistic guise of Dylan Richards (formerly known as King Cannibal on Ninja Tune and Zilla on Warp), assumed since moving to Berlin from South London 18 months ago, House Of Black Lanterns delivers a defined change in vision and style.
Retaining the earlier influence of DJ Krust’s sprawling drum & bass soundscapes, Richards develops his sound to incorporate the dub-inflected techno textures of
Rhythm & Sound whilst nodding to the catchy, yet occasionally bleak floorfillers of Trax, all inspired by the modern noir visual style of Michael Mann. He explains:
“House of Black Lanterns is firstly about suspense, space and depth. It’s more restrained than anything I have worked on before; that threat of violence is buried deep in texture rather than worn outwardly on my sleeve.”
