electro breaks
RECOMMENDED: Paul Blackford – Smiley’s Nightmare [Militant Science]
Paul Blackford, the man who together with Kronos Device and Stormfield tore the 100th Mantis Radio (live) apart adds another release to his already strong and solid discography.
MIX: P-Hocto – Bigwar 8
Dublin producer and DJ Peadar Ó Brádaigh is currently to be found lurking around London; as P-Hocto he’s a man you’re going to be hearing more from in 2012. Fresh blood with fresh ideas.
mix: BRAWLcast #063 Bushby – Elastokinematics
Number 63 in the BRAWLcast series sees the return of Bushby, starting off the mix with some classic sounding machine funk and ending in what has been described by a listener as a “total rinse” of wonky edged techno.
the City of Bass crates
Peace and most of all, bass. Welcome to the City of Bass column here at Darkfloor, where I round up a top ten list of the most up-front ’100% pure’ dope cuts that are rattlin’ electro bass bins worldwide. With that, crank up the amp on your subs and let’s go…
Benefit EP: Si Begg – Sithop for Japan [Addictech]
Si Begg, that loveable and talented producer’s got a new EP out and together with the electronica specialist store Addictech is to give all profits from its sale straight to the tsunami victims in Japan.

Lifecycle – Snare Union mix 2010
Ricochet Records boss Lifecycle drops this mix he describes as The Ricochet Sound. If you like electro with a hefty side order of breaks and glitchy tweaks whilst retaining a sense of depth and order then this selection should be right up your street.
free EP: Si Begg – Controlled Explosion Part 1
So after stumbling into the office and beginning my daily ingest of many caffeine powered liquids I spot this EP, upped by the man himself Si Begg. Coincidentally I’ll be seeing him perform tonight at London’s Ricochet Records night alongside Shinra. It’s free entry and highly recommended (more details). Si Begg needs no introduction, so [...]
MIX: DVNT – Sixty Zero for Serbia
Sixty Zero for Serbia is comprised of some absolutely killer electro and breakbeat, if I do say so myself, that has kept my ears busy over the past year and beyond.
mix: Mazzula – 6 cans o’ Red Stripe and I’ll have 10 B&H silver as well please.
The mighty Mazzula weighs in with this heavy mutant electro/step 46minute live set. One of my favourite producers of 2010 is this guy, delivering unique bass heavy electro. You can support his hardware endeavour by picking up some his tracks directly via his Bandcamp profile. Not really a liveset, more a compilation of recent shit. [...]
MIX: DVNT – Live at Ricochet Records

I ended up doing a short half hour warmup early in the night, followed by the electro/nuskool session I was booked for, dipping into some proggy numbers along the way. Both sets were recorded during [...]
