Black Sun Empire is the stage name of a team of Dutch disc jockeys and drum and bass (mostly darkstep and neurofunk) producers Rene Verdult and brothers Milan Heyboer and Micha Heyboer.
Based out of Utrecht, Netherlands, they started making drum and bass in 1995 when they got turned on to the likes of artist such as Photek, LTJ Bukem, and Ed Rush. Before that they were into techno and breaks. After having a few releases on smaller record labels, they managed to get the attention of bigger producers like Trace, currently known for his DSCI4 label. Since their start, they have released five full-length albums and have operated three independent record labels: Black Sun Empire Recordings, Obsessions, and Blackout Music NL.
