A few MANTIS Radio shows back we showcased Logical Disorder and his stunning IDM/electro/ambient production sound. His last release (and the one that sparked my interest in getting him on the showcase guest mix: Violent Playground) was via the Mexican Breathe netlabel. This is their latest release and being a compilation (their 5th), it serves [...]

Well it’s only taken nearly 2 years for the follow up to the amazingly well received 2nd volume of my Downbeaten series. You can grab Volume2 here, and Volume1 here.

Shouts going out to Filipe Cruz, label manager of the varied and prolific netlabel Enough Records (check out their showcase on MANTIS Radio 030) for highlighting this release to me. I’ve had it on repeat for the past week or so, it’s a captivating listen and is highly recommended.

I currently know very little about Disjointed Jaime. What I do know is that these 2 mixes needed to be put up here.

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.

I trust you all had a great Christmas and a messy New Year. Back on the 18th December a new weekly post started on darkfloor.co.uk, the Friday Found Sound.

A collaborative post, comprising of some of the weeks net label releases, free track giveaways and anything else in the style of darkfloor electronica for free.
