Darkfloor. is a place for a music, artists and labels we deem to be awesome from a diverse but cohesive sound spectrum, collectively termed ‘darkfloor electronica’.

This website plays host to relevant mixes, releases, netaudio, occasional interviews, and the ever growing archives for our Mantis Radio broadcasts.

We have no agenda other than to push music we believe in. We aren’t swayed by PR spin and drivel and we’re looking forward as much as we are digging in the past.

Darkfloor. is composed of sound from a variety of genres; techno, electro, breaks, dubstep, glitch, IDM, ambient, drone, breakstep, UK bass, experimental, noise, extreme, progressive, downbeat, downtempo, jungle, drum and bass, and beyond.

Essentially electronic in nature our main concern is with deep, dark, bass rich textured sound with something to say; be that thundering mutant bass stabs, claustrophobic industrial bleakness to hypnotically lush depth, and the wide gamut of sound between.

In early 2011 we added the Darkforum to help further the positive discussion and promotion of the multiple styles and genres that form the core of Darkfloor. Good music is good music whether it has or hasn’t got specific sounds, programming structure, frequencies and the like.
