Hydrogen Dukebox

Hydrogen Dukebox is the U.K.'s premier imprint for experimental techno, breakbeat, and electro. Their impressive roster of acts includes A1 People, Chamber, Globo, James Hardway, Justice, Metamatics, Norken, and The Black Dog.

The Black Dog
The Black Dog pioneered so-called "intelligent techno" in the late '80s and early '90s with the likes of B12, Stasis, and Autechre. Now signed to Hydrogen Dukebox (formerly with Warp), our canine friend's mindful electronic music is peppered with anti-global politics.

Norken
Norken's Lee Norris has been likened to Carl Craig and Juan Atkins for his minimal, melancholic music. More Detroit than Chicago, Norken will appeal to fans of u-ziq, Plaid, and The Black Dog.
