About Me

Blackplanet is Joe and Caleb Cowie, two brothers from Queenstown-NZ, creating and performing their own take on the Drum 'n' Bass sound. Blackplanet's show takes you on a journey through all styles of d n' b, but always with an emphasis on feeling. Blackplanet have added Shya mc to their line up, bringing her soulful vocals to their supersonic mix.Armed with an arsenal of Synths, drum machines, guitar and vocal's, their show is never lacking in raw energy and vibe!.The aim of Blackplanet is to create high quality drum'n'bass that can be reproduced as a live experience. This aproach has helped Blackplanet build a strong following and garnered enough attention to secure support slots alongside International artists Klute, Black sun empire, A-Sides,Limewax, D-Jon, T-power, and local artists Concord dawn, The Upbeats,Teknik, Organikismness and more.Blackplanet are currently in production on their forthcoming E.P 'Feel the light' due for release early 08!. The goal for 07 is to pack themselves into their touring wagon as much as possible and bring the Blackplanet show to every town,city,ski-field,park and backyard in New Zealand."Blackplanet is the loudest band we have heard come out of our sound system" Darryl - Backstage manager (dunedin) "You know your at a Blackplanet show when your pants are vibrating" Dj Julio - Rattlesnakes - Qtown "Everytime Blackplanet comes to Christchurch they never cease to blow my mind" Earl @ EDM promotions - chch "I have played after a lot of live d n' b acts that have been ok, but Blackplanet were awesome" Evan - Concord dawn
