A second session resulted in ‘Black as Mourning’, another combination of musicianship with off the wall sampling… and an Amiga. This track was also recently featured on Radio One’s ‘One Music’ show, and ‘Best of Unsigned’ podcast.

Having received radio play from the UK to New Zealand, mysterons are currently working on new material, collaborations with vocalists, and a taking their music live with a disco drummer, live guitars, a gutted X-box and a modified shop till performance controller…
