BIOGRAPHY
Dark Globe are Pete Diggens and Matt Frost. The pair grew up together but later moved apart in pursuit of very different musical careers; Diggens was the drummer in punk band Electric Sex Circus while Frost tried his hand at producing electro records. In the early nineties, the two hooked up again and started producing breaks together. They've since had releases on Whole Nine Yards and Bedrock Breaks plus remixed Orbital and Two Lone Swordsmen.
HISTORY
The Dark Globe story began somewhere in the early 90s – in a musical climate where the baggy scene was swinging its collective flares and crusty rock was dying a deserved painful death – when Pete Diggens, drummer in psych punk band Electric Sex Circus, decided enough was enough. Touring with the likes of Blur and giving the Manic Street Preachers an early support slot (“seeing them in their make up lugging equipment about was hilarious,” he laughs) was no longer musically fulfilling.
Meanwhile, over in the North Kent suburbs, childhood friend and future fellow Glober Matt Frost had started producing and releasing electro records. Reuniting through a love of noise, sampling and Public Enemy, the two formed the musical partnership that we know today. “Public Enemy’s message was cool but the thing that we both connected over was Terminator X’s industrial funk,” recalls Matt. “Everyone else was into Stone Roses and Soup Dragons and we’d be trying to be North Kent’s answer to The Bomb Squad. Big, loud, Hank Shocklee noise: industrial, violent and aggressive.”
