LATEST SHOW ARCHIVE MANTIS 055 + DATACRASHROBOT & LOGICAL DISORDER

Coming up this week, not 1, but 2 showcase guest mixes from producers Datacrashrobot and Logical Disorder. Both have a slew of releases, both with a sizeable back catalogue of netlabel pieces. For our 55th show we’ve got an electro and IDM show down of forward thinking electronica.

SHOWCASE MIX 1// Datacrashrobot is the electro/experimental project of one Sorin Paun. In early 2008, influenced by the classic electro sound, he started producing tracks which he describes as
following a journey into the cold, mechanical, information overloaded mind of robots. The beat is drowned in dark ambiance or broken and twisted, overloaded with effects and glitches creating a state of malfunction and collapse.

SHOWCASE MIX 2// Logical Disorder is the name of the therapy that Javier Barrero use to balance his sinusoidal sense of duty. He develops his sounds focusing on ambient and post industrialism, remembering as he puts it
pop phrases and sometimes epic funeral melodies.

MANTIS 054 + MAD EP

February 8, 2010 – 19:15

Mad EP is Matthew Peters, Iowa native (formerly based in New York, Chicago & Montreal) and recent UK transplant, with a vast and impressive background in electronic and classical music. Peters brings his talents to bear on Mad EP productions in such a way that the end results are diverse and unclassifiable, calmly defying expectations as he skims through every imaginable genre to reach the outer limits of a territory that is indisputably his own.

Peters has been making his own music, variously described as electronic, alternative hip-hop, breakbeat, avant jazz, classical, sample-mania, and consistently unpredictable, for the past ten years in various contexts. His performances have been experienced in clubs, squats, restaurants, art galleries, concert halls, roof tops, radio studios, theatres, and festivals all over North America and Europe. He has also joined the Sub.FM ranks, and has a monthly show called “Tasty Cyanide Radio” – which goes beyond dubstep & garage and features all bass-centric music. In under a year, his playlists have been hailed as uniquely creative and innovative, and have a cult following to match.

Peters is also the consummate collaborative musician. His releases are full of guest appearances by artists with a deep respect his unparalleled musicality: Shadow Huntaz, Puppetmastaz, Jason Forrest (aka Donna Summer), Math Head, Si Begg, Aaron Spectre, Mochipet, End, DJ Grandtheft, jazz trumpeter David Young, percussionist Bryce Beverlin II, and more.

Venetian Snares & Leafcutter John both requested him to appear as a cellist on their albums and Peters is often in demand as a remixer, delivering unexpected, yet mind-blowing results.

CHART: 01/2010 (DVNT)

January 28, 2010 – 23:18

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 053 + FULL SPEKTRUM

January 23, 2010 – 17:54

South London based producer Full Spektrum has been making music since around 2003. A bit of an old skool raver, he got into Hardcore and Jungle around ’92-‘93. Later producing his own music, a progression through D&B and garage eventually led to Full Spektrum being introduced to the ever varying sounds of Dubstep.

The deep and versatile nature of the music suited his own productions, and it wasn’t long before he was fusing the sounds of Dubstep and Old Skool with his own trademark rolling breaks. He has received a lot of support from other producers and DJ’s in the scene including Elemental, Warlock, Blackmass Plastics, Noiz, ID, Threnody, Rob Booth and the Urban Graffiti crew. With releases currently out on labels Bankai, UK Trends, Militant Science and Urban Scrumping and forthcoming tracks on Furioso and Mata-Syn, Full Spektrum is a producer with a big sound.

Friday Found Sound

January 22, 2010 – 10:31

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

January 20, 2010 – 11:26

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, 11 Dec 2009

January 19, 2010 – 11:09

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.

D COM – The Steel Remains

January 17, 2010 – 21:02

Don’t know an awful lot (well nothing actually) about D COM. What I do know if the tracklist makes me moist with excitement.

darkfloor

More than just a genre. A collection of sound.

Darkfloor Electronica is comprised of the best sound from techno, electro, breakbeat, dubstep, glitch, idm, breakstep, dub, ambient, downtempo, experimental, progressive, tech house, downbeat, idm & beyond.

Its primary concern is that of deep, dark, bass rich, textured sound.

MANTIS, the darkfloor electronica radio show

MANTIS is the radio show pushing this sound collection. It started in 2007 on Brap FM. Currently the show is broadcast fortnightly on southwestunderground radio (SWU). The show pushes unsigned talent alongside established and upcoming producers. It also plays alongside commercially available sound, that of the ever growing netaudio scene.

Each broadcast showcases an artist/producer/label who provide an exclusive mix for air. Every one of these is made available as MP3 archives. A lot of radio shows stick to one or two music genres, on MANTIS there is no limit to the range of styles of music you're likely to hear during each broadcast.

Featuring every broadcast of the show, plus the MANTIS presents: series (an ongoing collection of live, studio, old and new mixes from our ever growing showcased artists) and DVNT darkfloor mixes, both studio and live recordings.

MANTIS is hosted by DVNT.
