DOWNLOAD: Scanner – Floral Derrangement
The 2nd of 2 Scanner posts in as many weeks (the first can be found here). Some might say we like him, others might say we’ve taken to checking his Soundcloud page a bit more regularly. Whatever’s said, what’s important is that Floral Derrangement, a 19 minute piece that he’s sharing with us, is delicately [...]
bangwagon 016 / DVNT
If anything posting the archives for bangwagon late is at least consistent. Thankfully the shows are concerned with good music not just the most upfront bits so we are allowed to be a little bit slack with the archiving. With that very much in mind and being back at the helm for the 16th show [...]
RECOMMENDED: Josco – 0611 [Somehow Recordings]
The work of one Gerry McDermont, Josco is a musician based in Thailand. Offering up his first EP for Somehow Recordings (their 19th), 0611 is a 3 track collection built with almost pure sounding beat-less waves of shimmering drone. Thou relatively short for ambient music (the longest of the 3 is but 4 minutes and [...]
DOWNLOAD: Dead TV Society – Noxgenus 08
I’ll be the first to admit I know very little about Dead TV Society, what I do know is that they produce deep, frequently dark mostly beatless soundscapes. And as it stands, that’s enough for me. No collective title for these 8 tracks other than the catalogue number, fittingly Noxgenus 08. Released back in late [...]
MIX: Vacu Sessions 18 – sanmi
Following up where Darren McClure and the 17th mix for the series left off, comes the 18th from sanmi. As with most of the musicians supplying mixes to the ongoing Vacu Sessions, it’s another name that is new to these ears. Certainly this mix series is quite the place for discovery. As ever the sounds [...]
DOWNLOAD: Kalte – Fissures [Petcord]
Released a few weeks back in March through netlabel Petcord, this is the most recent work of Kalte. Both Petcord and Kalte are new to me yet the sounds present on this EP, Fissures is familiar and to me at any rate, heavily relaxing. Being that I am quite the fan of electroacoustic drone it’s [...]
MIX: Vacu Sessions 17 – Darren McClure
The 17th Vacu Sessions has been unleashed with Darren McClure at the helm. Of Northern Irish origin but presently residing in Japan, Darren makes music he describes as resulting from a combination of digital sounds generated from software and field recordings. Often the field recordings are processed, but other times are left untreated. The sounds [...]
DOWNLOAD: AVOIDANT – Birth In Carpathia [Enough Records]
Regular readers of this site will already know that Enough Records are a prolific and diverse netlabel (and one of our favourites at darkfloor), but it’s worth reasserting that fact for the newer readers amongst you. This is one of their latest releases, which arrived in my inbox but a few days ago. Following up [...]

From netlabel Escala comes this selection of IDM electronica infused with deep ambient texture. SL1200 has selected some tasty morsels of sound for his Zlow mix; including tracks from Boards of Canada, Biosphere, Peter Benisch, and Techno Animal.
