Pitch Black

Pitch Black is a New Zealand electronic duo formed in the late 1990s by Mike Hodgson and Paddy Free. Known for their immersive and genre-blending sound, they mix elements of dub, electronica, and ambient into rich, atmospheric tracks that have made them a staple of the global electronic music scene. Their live shows are a sensory experience, combining layered beats with immersive visuals, and they’ve built a dedicated international fanbase through extensive touring, especially across Europe and North America.

Over the years, Pitch Black has released a series of acclaimed albums and remix projects, continually evolving their sound while maintaining a deep, bass-heavy groove rooted in dub traditions. They've also collaborated with renowned producers like Adrian Sherwood, as heard on recent projects such as Echoes of the Night and various remix releases. Whether in the studio or onstage, Pitch Black continues to push the boundaries of electronic music with their innovative, forward-thinking approach.
