BTM0007 - BLVKSITE - BLVKSITE EP
Working out of a garage, the sometimes sinister and sometimes playful twin brothers, Justin & Drew Barini-Rivers, deliver a hard hitting, diverse techno sound that triggers the deepest of human emotions on the dancefloor. Two remixes round out the EP: Stukes adds his signature thudding techno style to Percolate, lacing the music with gnarled textures and mysterious noises while Jelani's remix transforms Vamos a Casa into a warm pulsating technicolor journey into the dawn.

BLACK TECHNO MATTERS
Black Techno Matters is a collective whose mission is to reclaim techno as a manifestation of Black expression in a society that has oppressed it by creating spaces, both virtual and IRL, that celebrate the black roots of techno. An assertion and a reminder that Techno IS Black. It was started in October 2019 when its founder, Bernard Farley, did a google search for “Black techno artists” and was disappointed with the lack resources highlighting black techno artists, especially considering that techno is a genre invented by three black teenagers in a suburb of Detroit, Michigan (The Belleville Three). Since then Black Techno Matters has highlighted hundreds of black electronic music artists through its robust Instagram Take Over series (where black artists highlight other black artists on a daily basis), spotify playlists, radio mix series, livestreams, outdoor events such as the Techno in the Park series, and most recently Liber8 US, a historic Juneteenth event spanning 7 cities and involving over 40 artists from across the country.
