DT905 – Black V Neck

10 February 2025 - Grahame Farmer

Miami-based duo Black V Neck step up for the Data Transmission Podcast, bringing their unmistakable bouncy, bass-driven sound to the series. Known for their rowdy grooves and playful energy, Ian and Julian have become key figures in the underground house scene, earning widespread recognition through releases on Dirtybird, Repopulate Mars, and Sink or Swim.

The podcast arrives just as Black V Neck drop their latest single, ‘Check My Brain’, the first release celebrating Dirtybird Records’ 20th anniversary. Referencing their 2019 label hit ‘Sex, Drugs, Alcohol’, the new track blends tech-heavy builds, deep house breakdowns, and AI-twisted vocals—all wrapped up in the duo’s signature high-energy, hook-laden production.

“We felt we had to go back to our roots. This type of record is a mix of our bouncy basslines, catchy hooks, with a twist of freshness on the breakdown. We couldn’t think of a better label than Dirtybird which encompasses those three things.”

Black V Neck

Since first appearing on Dirtybird’s Birdfeed in 2018, Black V Neck have become mainstay artists on the label, delivering standout releases like the ‘Mouth Music EP’ (2019) and ‘Bounce EP’ (2020).

Sol Pillars is back with ‘Grey Area’ on his new Soul Link Music imprint

10 February 2025 - Shelley Dodds

Johannesburg’s own Sol Pillars is back with his latest release, ‘Grey Area’—the second drop on his new imprint, Soul Link Music. Following up from ‘Thunder Funk,’ this one’s all about high-energy sound design and heavyweight basslines, pushing his signature rhythm-driven style even further.

After seven years in the game, Sol Pillars has cemented himself in South Africa’s underground music scene. He’s played a big role behind the scenes too, managing the legendary AND Club and helping shape the long-running Science Frikshun brand. As a DJ, he’s a regular at club nights across Johannesburg, from AND Club to some of the country’s biggest festivals like Twilight Festival (JHB), Earth Dance (JHB), and The Jungle (CPT).

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxryvUODR5A?feature=oembed&w=1140&h=641]

On the production front, he’s been making waves beyond South Africa, releasing music on respected labels like Calibrate Records (UK) and Locked Concept (AUS). ‘Grey Area’ takes things up a notch, fusing acid synths—often found in trance and psytrance—with the heavy-hitting drums and basslines that make Drum & Bass so electrifying. The track builds up to a relentless 4/4 drop, packed with machine-gun bass that’s built to tear up dancefloors.

Away from the studio, Sol Pillars has also launched Open Signal, a new event series with two close friends. It kicked off with a launch party at Cape Town’s Modular Precinct in December 2024, and there’s plenty more to come. With a focus on deep, immersive Drum & Bass and top-tier sound, Open Signal is all about pushing SA’s underground music culture forward.

Check out our premiere of Sol Pillars ‘Grey Area’ below. The track drops on Friday 14th February, you can get your hands on a copy from here!
