Get to know... DARK SKY

Get to know...
DARK SKY
After playing at Stealth a few times under their 'Boogaloo Crew' guise we are pleased to welcome back Matt & Tom, who alongside Carlo make up the production trio DARK SKY.
With numerous remixes under their belts and a handful of original releases to their name, Dark Sky are picking up some serious momentum, with their infectious brand of soulful garage and funky infused dub house, catching the ear of many a tastemaker.

With a packed gigging schedule and plenty of releases in the pipeline, the future looks bright for Dark Sky. 2010 saw the release of their first two EPs 'Something To Lose' on BlackAcre & 'Frames' on Pictures Music; the inclusion of their track 'Leave' on the prestigious Ninja Tune' 20th Anniversary compilation, and massive remixes for The xx, Stateless & Kelis.

This year the Dark Sky guys have also been having a busy time of it - remixing Ben Westbeech's 'Falling'; producing a cheeky Nelly Furtado bootleg (in the form of 'Promiscuous Gyal'); creating a highly rated mix for Fact Magazine, and also making an appearance on our favourite U-Stream show The Boiler Room.
