Hyperdub’s Ossie has recruited vocalists Paul Black and Tilz to join him in his latest project, Black Orange Juice. The all singing trio come together to create smooth r'n'b vocals lying seductively on top of house beats. On the 14th of this month they are due to release their new 'Back of My Car' EP. When listening to their voices, it’s no surprise that they have a history of gospel choirs and R&B quartets, and these influences combined with their knowledge of the UK underground scene create a unique kind of energy and sound. Check out their debut EP here first...

We are nomads of the musical galaxy who are crazy in love and love crazy.

Black (Paul Black), Orange (Ossie) and the Juice part we have no idea, but the phrase Black Orange Juice was floating around between us before we actually called ourselves that.

Tillz: The sound of the ocean, I only hear it when I'm on holiday.
Ossie: That’s hard, I tried to think of something none musical but I failed. The chords in “Deep House kit” in Ultrabeat (Logic 8). That’s my favourite sound.

Ossie: www.junodownload.com for me, I’m always on it.
