BLACK ON BLACK

Black on Black was accompanied by the release of a music video directed by Sergei Rostropovich and Alexander Kohn, offering a true dive from beauty into darkness. Set in a Future-Techno-Gothic atmosphere, Mason delivers a stunning exploration of the body through performative movements, reflecting an interpersonal journey into the depths of the senses. With powerful sensory details, blended with raw, high-energy beats, Black on Black is an underground anthem for challenging times.

Matt Edwards and Patrick Mason seem to have a good thing going on. [...] Where Edwards' work as Radio Slave is all about dark grooves and gradual hypnotism, SRVD is unapologetically banging. "Everyone is wearing black," Mason chants in the title track's breakdown. "Black, black, black on black." Poking fun at monochrome fashion in techno (attributed, of course, to Berghain) is bound to play well with big club and festival audiences, especially when the vocals are backed by the type of pounding minimalist beat and rowdy synth line that are currently so popular in these spaces. Is it silly? Sure. Will it work? Absolutely.
