Horror Brawl – Gunz In Da Home

Horror Brawl are becoming quite the regulars on darkfloor. This mix was part of the B-Side show on Livesets.com, 26 October 2009.

Friday Found Sound

As it’s Christmas we’re starting a new thing on darkfloor, the Friday Found Sound post. A collaborative post, comprising of some of the weeks net label releases, free track giveaways and anything else in the style of darkfloor electronica for free.

MANTIS 041 + ACIDIZER

Finnish musician Acidizer aka J. Raninen played classical piano as a kid, but was more interested in rhythms like those he heard in the electronic music on the radio or from computer games. He ditched the piano and picked up tracker software and begun to compose. Sometime in the mid 90s, inspired by Hardfloor he bought a 303 and formed a band called Healium, with T. Kesäniemi. Their first record came out in ‘99 on Skeletor Records and they began to tour around Finland. Which they’ve been doing ever since.

MANTIS 040 + ACROPLANE RECORDINGS

Paul Acroplane aka DJ Acroplane Recordings has been knocking about Ireland djing at clubs, festivals and free parties for about 10 years, having played alongside artists as diverse as Autechre, Scorn, Si Begg, Clark, Boxcutter, Luke Vibert, DJ/Rupture, Surgeon, King Cannibal, Kevin Saunderson, Ebola, Yee-King, Remarc, Aaron Spectre and Bong-Ra, to name but a few. He was the main man behind Belfast’s now legendary Diston events, and now heads up the city’s Acroplane Movement shows in venues of all shapes and sizes.

Not content with that Paul started up Acroplane Recordings, a free netlabel hosting music from the likes of Boxcutter, Somatic Responses, Chevron, Mothboy, Mad EP, Ebola, Igorrr, Space Dimension Controller, Lackluster, wAgAwAgA, Red Box Recorder and Vertical67, among dozens of others. Acroplane Recordings has a diverse selection of sound on offer on the label, providing consistently high quality releases to rival any of what the big boy electronic labels can offer. For free. You cannot argue with that.

MANTIS 005 + SI BEGG

Oh my good god. We only had Si Begg provide us with a fucking excellent eclectic exclusive mix didn’t we. Sweet jesus. Massive massive respect and love to the Noodles main man, Si. Loads of very positive response (surprise surprise) to that.
