CHART: 01/2010 (DVNT)
Here are some of the tracks I’ve been feeling and playing out over the past month or two (haven’t done a chart in a while, life sort of took over). All have been featured in my sets both on air with MANTIS and during my DJ sets. I can appreciate that a lot of what I play and have selected will be brand new and from people you are likely not to have heard of before, nor be familiar with their work (one of the main reasons I do MANTIS is to push music by new names to both you and me, giving artists exposure they might not get elsewhere).

Mantis Radio 053 + Full Spektrum
Kicking of the new year and new decade 2 weeks later than originally planned, I’ll be sure to make up for it. For our 53rd and the 1st showcase of the new decade I’m very happy to present Full Spektrum.
Friday Found Sound
It’s Friday, which means another Found Sound, the weekly round up of free and legit darkfloor themed music downloads. This week we have:
Horror Brawl – Gunz In Da Home
Horror Brawl are becoming quite the regulars on darkfloor. This mix was part of the B-Side show on Livesets.com, 26 October 2009.
Olaf Quintessa – Birmingham Techno live at The Drome
Olaf is a regular DJ in the online virtual world of Second Life (indeed it was he who helped to get the MANTIS show syndicated in there). This is great mix, not only filled with some superb cuts and tracks, but mixed and constructed like a pro. This will be getting repeat listens at the darkfloor studios. My only gripe is Olaf is one of those types who writes his tracklists track then artist, how and why people do this is a mystery, it’s unnatural haha. Apart from that it’s a winner. Don’t sleep on this.
Casual Violence on Groovadelic 13 December 2009
Casual Violence on Groovadelic 13/12/2009 download TRACKLIST Nick Wilson – Untitled [Inceptive] James Ruskin – Part Of The Process [Blueprint] Polygon Window – UT1 – Dot [Warp] Silent Servant – Discipline [Sandwell District] Forward Strategy Group – Applied Generics [Forward Strategy Group] Substance & Vainqueur – Emerge 1 [British Murder Boys rmx 2] [ScionVersions] Orphx [...]
dcom – The Steel Remains
Don’t know an awful lot (well nothing actually) about D COM. What I do know if the tracklist makes me moist with excitement.
DVNT – NOV27 HACKNEY WAREHOUSE
As the title suggests, back on November 27th I played at a warehouse party in Hackney, well Hackney Wick. This is the recording of my set. Coming in at just shy of 90minutes and thundering along at a steady 140bpm it’s rammed full of, in my humble opinion, rolling, heavy bass licked tracks. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed mixing it.
Friday Found Sound
Another week has flown by, it’s the start of the weekend and it’s time for another Friday Found Sound.
