So last week I wrote a heads up about the new Imaginary Forces LP from Anthoney J Hart & Balázs Pándi: Uppstigande, this is its Ascension.

Following on from where Part 1 left us back in 2011 and later than originally intended (thank you Mr Illness) here is Part 2 of my Darkfloor 2011 review.

Download: Ryukau – Selected Rooms [Entity]

Abrasive and unforgiving digital abuse from Ryukau on the 28 minute, 11 piece Selected Rooms release for netlabel Entity.

MIX: Raime – You Can’t Hide Your Headcrack

I’ve been quite taken with the sound of Raime as well as the label they are signed to; Blackest Ever Black. Anyone who saw them support Demdike Stare a few months ago in London will know just how awesome their work sounds. Although this mix is over a year old I’ve only today noticed it. [...]

MIX: Sturqen – Foradius

César Rodrigues and David Arantes of Sturqen worked independently of each other using Portuguese radio transmissions as source material.

Runar Magnusson is this mixes producer and the 13th of the ongoing series. Compilation of tracks [...]
