SONG DETAILS

Where the Beat Swings Like a Pickaxe

“The Blackleg Miner” pulls a 19th-century Northumberland protest song straight through the tunnels of modern drum & bass. Coal dust becomes sub-bass, pickaxes become snares, and the ghosts of striking miners march again in rhythm and distortion. The vocals echo like warnings in a collapsing shaft — a reminder that every beat can still carry rebellion.

Lyrics

N/A

I didn’t remix a protest song - I resurrected one. The Blackleg Miner still sings, just louder now, through basslines that hit like falling timbers.
