Who runs it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Blackest Ever Black was founded in Soho, London, some time in 2010. The label is run by myself, Kiran Sande.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you go about contacting and grouping together its rosta &#8211; did you feel there was a certain mood in a few unsigned acts that would fit nicely together under one roof?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I relied largely on blind luck and happenstance. Like minds have a way of finding each other, it would seem. That said, to begin with I conceived of the label really just as an outlet for Raime&#8217;s music and my frustrations, and it was only later that I realised there were other artists out there who shared our sensibilities, and who might wish to associate with us. <\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-iePR6gECqE\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Certainly on its blog, the label follows a distinctive visual aesthetic, too. Where are its pictures usually sourced? Is mysticism a key theme for BEB?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The pictures are borrowed and stolen from far and wide, and then hurriedly, haphazardly treated. I don&#8217;t think mysticism is really a key theme for BEB at all, but it&#8217;s probably fair to say that mystery, and mysteriousness, is: the romance and the erotics of the not quite fully comprehended.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which other emerging labels do you think deserve more exposure (this isn&#8217;t a ploy to fill future &#8220;labelmaker&#8221; content! &#8211; ed.)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There aren&#8217;t many. Off the top of my head, I&#8217;d say Ideologic Organ, Dais Records, Preserved Instincts, VON and Posh Isolation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How will the label continue to expand this year?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No plans for expansion, just persistence. Albums on the way from Regis, Young Hunting, Raime and more. A new limited edition 7&#8243; sub-label called Confessions. Oh, and beginning April 12th, a semi regular clubnight at The Waiting Room (formerly The Drop) in Stoke Newington, London, with resident DJs Raime, Demdike Stare and myself. <\/p>\n<p><em>Words: Jack Mills<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blackest Ever Black is London&#8217;s Kiran Sande (better known as FACT magazine&#8217;s deputy editor).
