The Black Dog
The Black Dog is a British electronic music group, founded in 1989 by Ken Downie along with Ed Handley and Andy Turner. The group are considered pioneering figures of techno's ruminative "home-listening" aesthetic in the early 1990s. Following several self-released EPs, the group signed to Warp Records in 1993 and released albums such as Bytes (1993) and Spanners (1995). In 1995, Handley and Turner departed to work on their spin-off project Plaid. Downie continued recording under the band name The Black Dog until his death in 2025, with Richard and Martin Dust joining. The band's early EPs were collected on the 2007 compilation Book of Dogma.
Genre: ambient, idm, glitch, dub-techno, drone, dark-ambient
