Mantis Radio 098 + Death Abyss

Tonight Mantis Radio returns to Future Music to broadcast our first show of 2012. With an exclusive session, Death Abyss will be illuminating with their dark mix for the showcase.

The Darkfloor 2011 review, part 1.

As we come to the end of 2011 those end of year reviews seem to rear their heads. This year, I thought with the readership growth as we have had on Darkfloor it would be nice to do a piece on some of our favourite music released in the past year.

Heads Up: Death Abyss – Dominate Through Will [Rodz-Konez]

Here’s something that is going to be of considerable interest to you; techno imprint Rodz Konez are all set to release the labels first longplayer and responsible are the mysterious dark and heavy production outfit Death Abyss.

Dekode Live on the Beat & Bones

T.R.O. – I’m A Purist Vol.3

As the title cunningly suggests this is the 3rd “Purist” mix from German based producer and Furioso label owner T.R.O. This time he’s focused on broken techno / tech sounding breakbeat. So enough of me typing words and that, let’s get to the mix in question. T.R.O. – I’m A Purist Vol.3 download stream TRACKLIST [...]
