The Darkfloor 2011 review, part 2.

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: Chordata – Bringers of the Dawn [Militant Science]

Hailing from Glasgow is the sometime shapeshifter, sometime cat, sometime seagull and occasional question mark: Chordata.

MIX: King Cannibal – Cannibalism 2011

Dylan Richards’ King Cannibal has decided to share his hour long mega set: Cannibalism 2011 with his fans.

DOWNLOAD: Swarm Intelligence – Shorn

I first heard Shorn about 3 or 4 months ago, it sounded heavy then and it sounds it now. Crunchy hard electronics that sucks you right into its core.

RECOMMENDED: Patscan – Bad Machines [Digital Distortions]

Release number 47 on Digital Distortions. Bad Machines, Sticky Buttons and Factory Flawed: Three tracks of bass-heavy electronics smashed together with diamond tipped breakbeats designed with one thing in mind… creating havoc on the dancefloor. Remix duties fall to Bent Sound Inn (aka Ion Driver) who transforms Bad Machines into a futuristic breakbeat roller, while [...]

MIX: Krampfhaft – Swipe Mixtape

The latest FACT Magazine mix (at least at the time of writing, I think they publish 2 a week) has Planet Mu’s Mike Paradinas (µ-Ziq) selecting an hour of some of the freshest beats out there with a great footwork/juke session. Reportedly he has the largest collection of footwork tracks outside of the scene’s native home Chicago.

MIX: BRAWLcast #047 :: Bushby – Synergising Backward Outflow

Around these parts, John Bushby is a legend. Not only is he the half the team behind the superb dark electro infused electronics label Digital Distortions, or equally half the team behind the techno machinations of the Limetree Projects; he is a superb DJ and mix programmer in his own right. Diverse but always with [...]

MIX: Si Begg – Live at Hear No Evil, XOYO. 06/05/2011

In some ways I’m both relived and gutted about this set surfacing from the good ship Begg. Relived as thou I had planned to attend the event at London venue XOYO I never managed it, and gutted for the same reason as Si proves once again why I rate him so highly as a producer [...]
