You might want to tune into Live105's Black Planet tonight, not only for the awesome music, but the set will feature "new dark cuts from Blaqk Audio". It is not known whether this is a new or unreleased song. Even more mysteriously, Black Planet will also be hosted by "special goth guests". (Nothing can be assumed!)
