The Concrete DJz are a familiar face around here at darkfloor HQ. They do what they do, and they do it well. The task in question is making heavy, pounding, sick techno, that or pushing through similar sounds on their Armatura Records label. Completed recently, this is the latest mix from them, a promotional mix [...]

Fresh from EDIT:TECHNO on October 23rd, Belgrade, Serbia comes this 2 part 3 hour recording of the Concrete DJz doing what they do best.

Paul Acroplane aka DJ Acroplane Recordings has been knocking about Ireland djing at clubs, festivals and free parties for about 10 years, having played alongside artists as diverse as Autechre, Scorn, Si Begg, Clark, Boxcutter, Luke Vibert, DJ/Rupture, Surgeon, King Cannibal, Kevin Saunderson, Ebola, Yee-King, Remarc, Aaron Spectre and Bong-Ra, to name but a few. He was the main man behind Belfast’s now legendary Diston events, and now heads up the city’s Acroplane Movement shows in venues of all shapes and sizes.

Not content with that Paul started up Acroplane Recordings, a free netlabel hosting music from the likes of Boxcutter, Somatic Responses, Chevron, Mothboy, Mad EP, Ebola, Igorrr, Space Dimension Controller, Lackluster, wAgAwAgA, Red Box Recorder and Vertical67, among dozens of others. Acroplane Recordings has a diverse selection of sound on offer on the label, providing consistently high quality releases to rival any of what the big boy electronic labels can offer. For free. You cannot argue with that.

Originally recorded for Miss Kosmix’s storming Bluster radio show (check out her showcase on the 26th MANTIS, damn can that girl throw down some filth). Showcasing a lot of the recent Concrete DJz tracks and sounds, this is one awesome mix.

Number 7 of the MANTIS:presents: series is upon us, and it’s a nice blend of soothing tones, and bedtime rhymes. This might not be entirely accurate as the Concrete DJz are known for fierce full on ‘ard Techno, which is exactly what they provided for the MANTIS show back in August 08. What we have here is a recent liveset of theirs from December in Bulgaria.

Another week, another MANTIS. Coming up this week we have Serbia’s number 1 Hard Techno export: the Concrete DJz. And boy, did they rinse the hell out of it in their hour.
