Pitch Black 'One Ton Skank'




Artist: Pitch Black




Title: One Ton Skank




Label: Dubmission Records




Released: 8th November











The second single to be released from their highly recommended recent album ‘Third Light’ and features re-mixes from Tor.Ma in Dub and Robot Riddims.


Now as you can probably gather from the title of this track it was made with heavy bass in mind and I was intrigued as to how these re-mixes would fare. Tor.Ma immediately drops a heavy bass line and eases in the aspects of the original piece. utilising subtle echoes and fx that rise and fall as the journey progresses. For me he’s nailed it I’d even go as far to say I prefer it.


Now the 10K Skank Remix by South London’s Robot Riddims totally flips the script. Initially they up the pace and take the piece into a ska number, then surprisingly apply the brakes in the interludes with low-frequency dub-step, and it works.


So if you’re questioning is it worth buying the single and the album in my humble opinion if your a fan of Pitch Blacks sound then without a shadow of a doubt.
