Pitchblack Playback hosts listening sessions in the dark on great sound systems around the world for upcoming and classic albums and curated mixtapes. It's a simple idea, but we think it's much more than the sum of its parts.
Why do we like to listen to music in the dark*? We believe that listening to music with this way makes music feel more intense, lets you hear it in more detail, and allows your brain to feel less distracted. It’s just you and the music. In today's stressful modern world, we all need spaces where we can cut ourselves off from the noise and distraction of daily life, and we're proud that our events can provide them.
Pitchblack Playback isn’t aimed at audiophiles who will obsess over every last detail of the equipment used. It’s simply for lovers of damn good music who want to experience music in a more considered, concentrated way. We want it to be an experience for everyone, of all ages and tastes.
Sasha: 'Da Vinci Genius':
Hear the majestic new record by electronic music legend Sasha ahead of its release on Night Time Stories on November 29 at Pitchblack Playback's exclusive album listening premiere in the dark. This new release was originally composed for the immersive ‘Da Vinci Genius’ show that debuted in Berlin in 2021 and then transferred a year later to Amsterdam, celebrating the work of Leonardo Da Vinci, the great Italian Renaissance polymath.
