Dark Globe

Dark Globe gained prominence after being signed by Leftfield to their Hard Hands label. They've since released their distinctive digital funk on A&M Records, Warner Records, W9Y, Global Underground, and Island/Universal Records, following the success of their hit "Break My World." Dark Globe's music has featured in "Lara Croft: The Cradle of Life," they've remixed artists like George Clinton, Bush, Orbital, Amanda Ghost, Imogen Heap, Two Lone Swordsmen, and Boy George. They also created the first-ever 'Breaks' record, 'Mondo Scuro'. Musically, Frost and Diggens had both been inspired by the DIY spirit of the acid house scene. They were passionate not only about the sounds of Chuck D and Flav’s Bomb Squad, but about the beauty of David Sylvian’s solo albums, Basic Channel’s ghost note groove, Stakker Humanoid’s raw excitement, Dead can dance’s otherworldliness and the ‘music concrete’ of Swiss sample punks the Young Gods. They would spend the week, gathering ideas, then load up their samplers and get on the bus to the studio on a Friday evening with the aim of emerging on Sunday morning with a 9 minute masterpiece burned onto cassette. Frost and Diggens released a stream of vinyl from 1993-1996 on own imprint Violent Drum and finished when Matt and Pete were discovered by Andrew Weatherall at Sabresonic which led them to sign to Leftfield’s Hard Hands label in 1997 as Dark Globe. Recording as, The Deep, Mondo Scuro, Your Nemesis. https://darkglobe.bandcamp.com
