a Kutz - The Zone b1 Kutz - Rodeo b2 Kutz - Krystal Visions After the humbling amount of love and positivity shown for our first release (BG001-'Detonate' by Dismantle, featured on Annie Mac's "Class of 2012" compilation and it's b-side '2 in 1' to be featured on Joker's forthcoming Rinse compilation), Black Gold are thrilled and very excited to announce their second release: "The Zone" by Kutz. An atmospheric, genre busting monster which is not your standard 140 bpm number. "The Zone" combines dancefloor sensibilities of whipped drum beats and heavy bass with the soundscapes of a John Carpenter movie. A natural progression in the evolution and development of Bass music, "The Zone" brilliantly fuses the power of raw cinematic grooves with the sophistication and lushness of a film score to devastating effect, making it both contemporary yet timeless. On the AA side are two totally different tracks that still fit the Black Gold ethos of powerful bass driven electronica/dance music "Rodeo" has a rocking groove that is D-I-R-T-Y and is just begging for hot summer nights and heaving dancefloors. The hooks just dig in and take you with them on a bucking bronco ride that will leave you battered and bruised and wanting more.....4 minutes just isn't long enough! Bringing you down with a more minimalist bump, the last track is "Krystal Visions". Bootlegged to much acclaim (as ever) by Skream last year, this is a fine piece of sparse techno, full of glitchy metallic stabs that home in on your aural receptors, ready for battle. However understated atmospherics like echoes from "The Zone" soften the blows, making this a really wonderful piece of spartan techno.
