bangwagon 019 / Clodhoppa

Bangwagon 19 rides into town this week, bringing an archive full of deep 4/4 and broken bassy business from the likes of John Tejada, XXXY and a couple of goodies from Take Records.

MIX: TZR – Sub Pressure Volume 2

Ahead of the new compilation release for US dubstep label Sub Pressure comes this 30 minute promo mix. Label signed TZR contributes his Spectre track to the 10 piece collection. We’ve been liking what we’ve been hearing from the California based Sub Pressure camp over the past year. Dishing out deep bass, rolling percussion and [...]

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 [...]

MIX: Duke Spook – Spec Ops 1

Something on the future-garage, post-dubstep tip with this selection from Duke Spook. The hazy mellow vibes are all in place with work from Koreless, XXXY, Joy O, Bnjmn, Burial, The XX, Deadboy and Blawan feature amongst others. Definitely something to put on after those tiring, underwhelming days in the drone factory, commonly known as the [...]

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: Vibe55 – posthuman 665

Sort of randomly happened across this mix whilst searching for a recent release on Ohm Resistance. I took one look at that tracklist and knew I had to share Vibe55‘s selection with you lot. Based in Riga, Latvia, Vibe55 is part of the crew behind Dubstep.lv; a site dedicated to all things dubstep and Latvian. [...]

RECOMMENDED: Gyu – Submerge EP [Coral]

Two of the earliest producers to grace the MANTIS Radio show way back in 2007 were Mad-Tek; comprising just 2 members: Gyu and Globe Rotter. Globe Rotter moved to Russia a few years back which made working together as Mad-Tek somewhat difficult thou they have released some quality work together. Both have continued producing work [...]

RECOMMENDED: Nicolas Bourbaki – Functions Of One Real Variable / Topological Vector Spaces [FURIOSO]

Hitting but their 9th release this fledging Berlin based label is already carving out a hefty darkfloor shaped sonic footprint with their catalogue. So yes, number 9 is here and it’s from the mysterious Nicolas Bourbaki who unleashes his 3rd and most aggressive work yet for the label. Despite being based in the current epicentre [...]

bangwagon 013 / Clodhoppa

For some reason that both Clodhoppa and myself haven’t quite nailed yet, the archives for our joint bangwagon radio show are somewhat sporadic, which is strange when you consider that the live broadcast is quite specifically regular. In the spirit of one of the underlying conditions of this site; better late than never, here is [...]
