the Darkfloor Stalker 005

A nice start to 2012, from brain-flexing modular work-outs right through to crunchy hip-hop.

Mantis Radio 097 + Echo Park

Show 97. Show. Number. Ninety. Seven. And indeed our final show proper of 2011. This week we welcome back a producer who in the past 18 months has gone from a decade of hard, industrially edged broken techno to boogie funk. Welcome back to Mantis Radio; Brian Gibbs with Echo Park.

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.

bangwagon 024 / DVNT

As we nudge ever closer to being up to date, here’s my show from September 4th. Full of some tasty deep electro, dub, dubtech, electronica and bass music. Even some very old country folk music from Woody Guthrie, it was recorded way back in the 1940s and many cite it as the first concept album.

Mantis Radio 092 + Mad EP

Making a welcome return to Mantis Radio, this week Mad EP is back to dish up his trademark hip-hop infested beat work.

MIX: Hanal – AnotherFresh

Here’s AnotherFresh by Hanal, the work of a crazed electronica loving DJ and occasional producer. Criminally short at just 25minutes but it comes with a hip-hop-electro-beat-esque lofi selection taking in Tears for Fears, Luke Vibert remixing LFO, Ruby My Dear, Dynamic Duo, Gescom, Mr 76ix, Joyce Sims, MC Chill, Men Without Hats, Fritz Von Runte [...]

bangwagon 017 / Clodhoppa

Dishing up a selection of broken beat, soul, funk, hip hop and similar stuffs, this is the 17th bangwagon show archive with Clodhoppa digging into his crates. Beginning with Kid Carpet’s Gordano into work from The Insider, Formula, The Herbaliser feat. MF Doom, Aloc Blacc and Mos Dub. He slips in a bit of sasQwax, [...]

bangwagon 014 / DVNT

In perhaps quite the ironic gesture, seeing as I made a point of apologising on the posting of the 13th show, the archives for bangwagon radio are once again slow to appear. No real excuse, thou thankfully the shows aren’t particularly time sensitive so in the bigger picture it doesn’t matter. At least that’s my [...]

mix: Squish Kibosh – Hands Across The Galaxy

What with the tracklist for Squish Kibosh’s Hands Across the Galaxy mix, and the promotional blurb provided by Theez Boyz on who’s show this mix was originally broadcast there isn’t much more for me to say so I won’t. Over to them. Banished from his home planet for a crime he didn’t commit, Squish Kibosh [...]

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 [...]
