drum’n'bass
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.
bangwagon 026 / DVNT
Whilst sometimes it feels like we’ve been doing the show longer, no doubt because there was a radio show before this one that I helped Clodhoppa with from time to time, it was the shows first anniversary, indeed our birthday in October.
MIX: dubh thrian – Dub dnb
Very short at just 23 minutes, but a superb choice of heavily dub styled deep drum & bass from dubh thrian. A new artist on our radar here at Darkfloor, and one we came across from their work on the netlabel Alkalinear Recordings‘ recent compilation [alk020] (you can grab that here). That’s about it as [...]
MIX: Ostin – Curts
A Russian producer, Ostin is another new name to us here at Darkfloor.
MIX: Casual Breakin’ – Poundland
A mix drawing its inspiration from the current riots and looting happening in London and other parts of the UK.
MIX: Enei – Pirate Station Guest Mix / Oct 2010
The recent release from Enei got our attention, so much so that a little digging was in order, being that the Russian producer is a new artist on our radar here at Darkfloor. That digging came up with this 174bpm rolling guest mix session for reportedly Russia’s biggest pirate radio station. Broadcast back on October [...]
mix: Raiden – Expo Vol. 3
Seventy minutes of sharp, rolling, bass heavy 170bpm sound presented and mixed by Raiden is up with this his Expo Vol. 3 mix. These days I’m not a massive follower of the drum ‘n’ bass scene, but since I first heard the Pitball Attack / Mindbombing 12″ back in 2003 on Barrcode Recordings, I’ve tried [...]
dBridge – Bloc10 Mix
I’ve been loving what I’ve been hearing from the Autonomic camp this year, the podcast mixes have been excellent as have the Rinse FM shows that I’ve managed to catch (incidentally, do dig them out if you haven’t already). The whole Autonomic thing is headed up by the mighty dBridge who will always have a [...]
DirtyMist – Green Room Projects Vol 1
Liquid funk, deep drum&bass, rolling jungle. Call it what you will, this is 2 hours of fine 170bpmish music mixed by DirtyMist aka DJ Mist live on his Friday night radio show on Future Music. He’s a resident up at the Detonate nights in Sheffield so knows his drums and bass. artwork by Stephanie Clayton [...]
free track: King Cannibal – Blackout
King Cannibal is one of the original darkfloor soliders. Indeed the King Cannibal alias was premièred on our very own MANTIS Radio show (the 2nd ever broadcast). I’m a bit late to the game on this one, seeing as he uploaded it over 20days ago. Nevertheless, if like me, you missed it, grab this very [...]
