bangwagon 012 / DVNT
The hosting of the 12th bangwagon radio broadcast fell to me, so after some digging I arrived at and subsequently broadcast the following during my 2 hour window.
mix: Tarekith – Tipper Downtempo DJ Set
Tarekith has been hard at his craft for years now and he really has a good ear for downtempo electronica. With this, his most recent offering, he’s selected the more electronica side of one of my favourite music producers: Tipper. Downtempo DJ Set recorded live 02-15-2011 using Ableton Live 8.2, Akai APC40, Allen & Heath [...]
mix: firnwald – Winter Mix
Much like his production work, this mix from the German producer Stefan Aigner aka firnwald, is diverse with choice in styles of sounds. From what I understand over at the The Sweetest Noise blog, this mix is to support firnwald‘s recent ‘Cinder‘ release on netlabel laridae. The tracklist is full of many favourite artists of [...]
bangwagon 009 / DVNT
Complete with the range of electronica you’re coming to expect from bangwagon radio contained within, this is the 9th show archive hosted this time, by me, DVNT. No doubt some of you will be familiar with some of what I played and some will be new to you. Kicking things off in the 170bpm tempo [...]
mix: Dekode – Christmas
Serbian producer and DJ Dekode drops this sublime IDM and downtempo selection just in time for Christmas. No Slade, Wizzard or Wham! on this tracklist… yea I know, shocking ain’t it. What we do have is a warming deep journey of electronica that is sure to make you feel relaxed.
bangwagon 006 / DVNT
Broadcast #006 is here with me, DVNT, on hosting duties. I’ve been wanting to push a lot of the ‘chillwave’ bits I’ve been discovering over the past couple of months for a good while now, actually before we started bangwagon. And so together with some downtempo, IDM and even shoegaze bits that’s what I played. I play [...]
bangwagon 003 / Clodhoppa
Clodhoppa returns to host the 3rd bangwagon broadcast. Very much a mixed bag for the latest bangwagon. Partly due to it being Hallowe’en, partly due to a bout of manflu and also due to wanting to play some Gregory Isaacs in tribute to the man’s passing. Hip hop, trip hop, jungle, funk, reggae, dub and [...]
Jim McCormack – In Autumn (A Seasonal Mix)
Winter is rapidly approaching (not sure when it officially starts) and so we’re either in or coming out of autumn, which in a roundabout sort of way leads me to post up this mix from Jim McCormack. Respect to my bleepy Exeter based friend and producer/DJ Metroboy for sending it into darkfloorHQ. Ahead lay 2 [...]
Flack.su – Apple Pie From Scratch
A glorious collection of deep and rich IDM infused downtempo electronica here. Weirdly titled Apple Pie from Scratch, this mix from Hungarian producer Flack.su is aptly rather tasty, nestled away on the Glack Audio label site mixes page. Released back in April this year with Tipper, Boards of Canada, Lusine, Aphex Twin, Hecq and others [...]
free EP: Alinoe – Rigin [foot155]
Rigin is the new release from Alinoe on prolific Japanese netlabel Bumpfoot. Released on their foot sublabel the EP is a deep, autumnal, rewarding listen. Highlight tracks for us at darkfloor HQ are Lug and Windy Sunday Theme, although the whole release is lovely. This year, Alinoe returned to Bump Foot with landscape ambient tunes. [...]
