<p><b>Episode 115</b><br />
April 2, 2026</p>
<p>We start in Nigera with the 80s dub of Mac Dessy Adult, before heading to Honolulu to share the sound of Brother Noland. Hear the dub tech of French producer Vardae, and the downtempo shimmer of NYC&#8217;s Anthony Naples.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ve a random find of mine, by German psych stoners Colour Haze. A classic Cure track. And a brand new one from GONG.</p>
<p>I play a listener pick by Mott The Hoople. Nottingham Punk band No Peeling. And a brand new track from French group Slift.</p>
<p>Objekt comes out of remix hiatus with his first in over a decade, remixing AD93&#8217;s james K. You&#8217;ve Italian Italo Disco courtesy of Mr. Flagio. The one and only Phil Collins. And naturally following Mr Collins, Mr Funk, Mr Aaron Funk. AKA Venetian Snares.</p>
<p>I switch it up with a bubbly house number from Shanti Celeste, all before playing the opening track of Speedy J&#8217;s brand new record due next month. Out this week, Arlo Park&#8217;s 3rd LP. I play a great track from it.</p>
<p>LA trio Failure are back after an extended hiatus. I play the first single from their forthcoming longplayer <em>Location Lost</em>.</p>
<p>Approaching the end of today&#8217;s transmission, Beninese ensemble T.P. Orchestre Poly-Rythmo and a track from the mid 70s, taken from a forthcoming compilation of their voodoo funk. Mr Al Green. And seeing you out, a banger from Underworld.</p>
<p>Have a great weekend, muchlove from me, to you.<br />

<p><b>Episode 114</b><br />
March 26, 2026</p>
<p>We get straight into it this week, with the Egyptian jazz of Salah Ragab and the Cairo Jazz Band, recorded in the early 70s. From there, the microhouse tribal sound of Isolée, and The Knife&#8217;s Olof Dreijer. You&#8217;ll hear the supreme voice of Tibetan singer-songwriter Yungchen Lhamo, and a brand new track from the former front man of The Correspondents, Mr Bruce, ahead of his debut album dropping in May.</p>
<p>Two tracks back to back from the label AD93. The first, the experimental dub perfection of Holy Tongue meets Shackleton, and the second, a breaky pop song by james K.</p>
<p>We travel to Uganda for the Afro pop of Iryn Namubiru. And to Ghana for the brand new banger from Genesis Owusu. There&#8217;s percussion flexing from Djrum, and the Brazilian dio Deafkids. They&#8217;ve a new record coming soon, and I play the first single from it.</p>
<p>Hear another track from Shy One&#8217;s brand new &#8211; and excellent &#8211; record <em>Mali</em>. Plus two of Chicago&#8217;s house music producers &#8211; Eris Drew, and Cajmere. There&#8217;s a brand new track by Max Cooper, and it&#8217;s classic Max, all melodic electronics.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ve late 50s era Miles Davis, with an absolutely stacked list of players. Father John Misty gets a remix courtesy of The Haxan Cloak. The Dandy Warhols cover gothic rock dons The Cult. And I finally rediscover an old metal record from my past that I struggled to find remember only the cover art.</p>
<p>Oh yea, and to close, new music from Welsh band Mclusky &#8211; who are back recording again. Who knew. And a classic from Squarepusher from that golden year for UK electronica, 1997.</p>
<p>Have a great day.<br />

<p><b>Episode 113</b><br />
March 19, 2026</p>
<p>American jazz pianist and arranger Mary Lou Williams greets you this morning with a beautiful piece from 1964. It&#8217;s followed by a new piece by Gregory Uhlmann, and the ambient noodle of Danny Scott Lane.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s early Fever Ray. Brand new Mitski. And Algerian Berber singer, songwriter and guitarist Souad Massi. Plus, a track by The Tim Smyth Trio from last year. The early 80s new wave sound of The Pretenders. And a cut from Annie Hogan&#8217;s new record <em>Tongues In My Head</em>.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ve some truly excellent Jazz, from Sonny Rollins, Tommy Flanagan, Doug Watkins, and Max Roach. As well as Oliver Nelson, Bill Evans, Eric Dolphy, Paul Chambers, and Freddie Hubbard. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAjRmHPiESc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Truly spoilt</a>. If you like late 50s early 60s Jazz of course.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s the early 80s boogie sound of Raw Silk. Four Tet. And brand new music by Shy One, Jill Scott, OSees, and the incredible Spanish born, London based Clara Serra López.</p>
<p>Hear the hypnotic minimal jazz of Akusmi. Gorillaz and Sparks. And a wedge of 90s guitars from Tad, Fugazi, Hole, and Tool. Plus, a jazz flex from the new forthcoming Squarepusher record. And, to close, the sound of Nigeria in 1974 by way of Monomono.</p>
<p>A bright show for a bright and sunny day.<br />

<h4>Featured Guest</h4>
<p>SNKLS is the work of Romain Dessert. Over the last few years Romain has established himself as a singular figure in the contemporary electronic scene there and in Europe, exploring territories of sound from electronic bass music to musique concrete.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s via the label POLAAR that I first heard his sound, quickly thinking to myself, what is this? I like it. A feeling that was solidifed when I heard a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-S5HQQid-qc" target="_blank">live set of his last year for Rinse FM</a> sister station Rinse France. POLAAR is headed up by Flore, who guested a few years back on <a href="https://darkfloor.co.uk/mantisradio316/">Mantis Radio 316</a>.</p>
<p>In 2022 SNKLS released the EP <em><a href="https://outlineslabel.bandcamp.com/album/glu-river" target="_blank">Glu River</a></em>, for the Polish label Outlines. It marked him as a name to follow.</p>
<p><iframe style="border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=3976815674/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=333333/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" seamless><a href="https://outlineslabel.bandcamp.com/album/glu-river">Glu River by SNKLS</a></iframe></p>
<p>Romain is driven by a demanding approach to sound and forward thinking club rhythm, something he develops through a monthly show called <a href="https://soundcloud.com/hkcrlive/take-me-higher_snkls-15102025-2" target="_blank">Take Me Higher</a> for Hong Kong Community Radio station, now in it’s 7th season.</p>
<p>His session for Mantis can be considered a radical and immersive live set, where the pulse of the Hardcore Continnum meets music concrete with unpredictable glitch textures.</p>
<p>Recorded live on a Elektron Octatrack, and a Makenoise Strega, the session takes in music from reggae classics, Oklou, Ramadanman, Offa, French-Congolese singer Théodora, Richard D James, 700 Bliss, and New Jersery’s Ase Manual.</p>

<p>There&#8217;s a chunky breaky dub roller from Shed for Tectonic. The Oh Sees. And a cut from the 1998 masterpiece that is UNKLE&#8217;s debut full length.</p>
<p>Missy Elliot pops up, with Method Man. And we travel back to the hip hop of 1987 with Eric B &#038; Rakim.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ve a brand new acid cut from A. G. Cook. The dub techno of SND &#038; RTN. Deep house favourite Ital as his ambient breakbeat project Relaxer. Four Tet remixes Bristol dnb don Krust. We travel to mid 70s Ethopia, all before Melanie C, Linkin Park, and The Cranberries to close us out.</p>

<p><b>Episode 111</b><br />
March 5, 2026</p>
<p>Today’s show is a special edition, showcasing fantastic female artists. And we start with the ambient sound of Amsterdam’s Elisa Batt featuring German vocalist Jenny Thiele. Asher White covers Jessica Pratt on her new record. There&#8217;s brand new and forthcoming Hannah Peel, with Chinese percussionist Beibei Wang. A cut from Maria BC’s beautiful new indie folk record <em>Marathon</em>. Two cuts from last year’s essential jazz compilation <em>Women In Jazz.</em> The folk rock of Laura Marling. And the epic flamenco channelling alternative pop of ROSALÍA.</p>
<p>But, there&#8217;s more. Including brand new Jill Scott, and a track from her new record, her first in over a decade. The Queens &#8211; Dolly Parton, and Annie Lennox. Chappell Roan. Of course. The Welsh/Cornish dancer turned musician Gwenno remixes Sun’s Signature – the recent(ish) project from Cocteau Twin’s Liz Frazer and percussionist Damien Reece.</p>
<p>The k-pop titans BLACKPINK have recently dropped a new EP, yes, I’m playing a track from it. You&#8217;ll either love it, or question why you listen to my shows.</p>
<p>Also, the Liverpool born, Glasgow based KAVARI and her crunchy drum &amp; bass slabs. Australian guitarist Bonnie Mercer. Kathleen Hanna’s Le Tigre, and Bikini Kill, cause you gotta. Supporting that, more punk energy from Amyl and The Sniffers and Cheap Perfume.</p>
<p>You’ll hear a classic bop along track from M.I.A., and hear about my late appreciation ffor Natalie Imbruglia. And, the excellent listener pick Shilpa Ray.</p>
<p>In the final part of the show, two covers. One of Radiohead, and another of Bobby Caldwell. Anna Ferrer transforms a traditional Armenian bread-making song into a contemporary choral anthem. And Ana De Llor, the London based, Lisbon born artist delivers with her debut track from 2020, a war hymn beaten into life by Portuguese frame drums, brooding bass lines and an unapologetic and unyielding choir of women.</p>
<p>And to close, two drum &amp; bass cuts. The first with British soul musician Natalie Duncan, and the second from gyrofield.</p>
<p>Plenty to dig into this week, enjoy.<br />

<p><b>Episode 110</b><br />
February 26, 2026</p>
<p>Worry not lemon, for this week&#8217;s episode has arrived. And today it features music from Anna Calvi, David Crosby, Deftones, and Tipper. As well as COLA, Inner City, The Mars Volta, and Special Request.</p>
<p>We began this week&#8217;s transmission in 1996 and two deep drum &#038; bass tracks from Aquasky, and Boymerang. Hear another cut from Apparat&#8217;s brand new record. And something from Graham Reynold&#8217;s new dungeon synth LP. You&#8217;ve the dream pop of Ireland&#8217;s The Last Sound, and a track from Anna Calvi&#8217;s new EP, where she covers Bonnie &#8220;Prince&#8221; Billy.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ve tracks from Deftones, Special Request, and with one of the best track titles I&#8217;ve seen in many a moon, the experimental instrumental grime of Mattwizard.</p>
<p>Ahead of their new LP, I play a b-side from last year by Power Plant. You&#8217;ve the pristine tech dub shimmer of Notte Infinita (he guested on Mantis Radio 352). A double dose of Detroit from Carl Craig and Kevin Saunderson. And the singular Björk. </p>
<p>Plus, brand spanking new Tipper. Oh yes. Cécile McLorin Salvant. The Mars Volta. And, an 8 year old Chicago blues funk drummer called Little Ed.</p>
<p>Mid 70s Zamrock. Canyon ballards from David Crosby and friends. Something brand new from COLA. Early 80s dub from Scientist, featuring Sly &#038; Robbie. And to close, a track I only today learnt was a cover of an early Motown cut. from 1959 by The Flying Lizards.</p>

<p><b>Episode 109</b><br />
February 19, 2026</p>
<p>This week&#8217;s show turned into a bit of a bumper edition, packing 30 tracks across the 2+ hours. Lots of new tracks, and some from back then.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s an ease in kind of day as we start with John Monkman, Deaf Center, and a new piece from Danish pipe organist Emil Mark. There&#8217;s guitar virtuoso Julian Lage, and Sweden&#8217;s Sven Wunder. Who channels the Mediterranean seas. Plus, the soothing psych rock of Tame Impala.</p>
<p>Hear some early 70s Beach Boys. Contemporary jazz from Yussef Dayes. A new deep house cut from NYC&#8217;s Galcher Lustwerk. And brand new music from Cate le Bon. Hyperdub&#8217;s Proc Fiskal. And American guitarist and composer Bill Orcutt. You&#8217;ll hear the shonky jazz of The Messthetics and James Brandon Lewis A band who pack a rhythm section of former Fugazi band members Brendan Canty and Joe Lally.</p>
<p>We visit the Appalachian mountains. Share some recent-ish Grandaddy. Classic Placebo. Early Nick Drake. Early US hardcore band Void. As well as Madlib and MF Doom&#8217;s project Madvillain. New on my radar post rock band Robber Robber, and the feel good new wave dance vibes of Haute &amp; Freddy.</p>
<p>Plus, hear the words of the Jesse Jackson, who passed this week.</p>

<p>After the punk rock the Buzzcocks we roll through last year&#8217;s homage to 60s and 70s dub reggae from Skinshape and the Horus All Stars. Mid 90s Photek. And a beautiful piece from The New Puritans latest record Crooked Wing.</p>
<p>Hear a cut from Tokyo&#8217;s ambient folk master Ichiko Aoba. And, the soulful funk of El Michels Affairs featuring Brazil&#8217;s Rogê. There&#8217;s brand new melodic jungle from Xylitol&#8217;s upcoming 2nd album. A deep Detroit sounding cut from the British duo B12&#8217;s side project Musicology. Dub techno from Claro Intelecto. And the abstract tech house of Chicago&#8217;s Hieroglyphic Being, with a track taken from the best album title you&#8217;ve heard in forever.</p>
<p>Plus, brand new Tiga, featuring hot-at-the-moment duo Fcukers. Something from Kayla Painter&#8217;s new record. The Carl Craig headed up jazz-meets-electronics project Detroit Experiment. Mid 90s era Flaming Lips. A cut from the Manic Street Preachers &#8217;92 debut record, which recently saw a remastered re-release. Early period The Fall. All before new jungle &amp; bass from Nottingham&#8217;s Soul Intent, and a mid 90s speaker tester from the one and only Dillinja.</p>
<p>Winding it down in the final section, with the deeply beautiful country folk of Canadian duo Kacy &amp; Clayton; the late 50s rockabilly of fellow Canadian Jack Scott. And, the Dave Matthews Band.</p>

<p><em>Each week Mx Darkfloor soundtracks your morning, setting you up for the day. Drawing on many styles and genres. From deep drone, ambient, and dub, through to jazz, grunge, jungle, and breaks.

<h4>Featured Guest</h4>
<p>My guest today is Hamburg&#8217;s <a href="https://www.johneckhardt.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John Eckhardt</a>.</p>
<p>A classical and jazz double bass player as well as composer and producer. His is a rich musical journey over the last 3 decades. One that&#8217;s seen him perform with some heavyweights along the way, including <a href="https://www.discogs.com/artist/7523114-Big-Bad-Br%C3%B6tzmann-Quintet" target="_blank">Peter Brötzmann</a>. Fatwires is John&#8217;s experimental <a href="https://www.discogs.com/artist/15067142-Fatwires" target="_blank">dub focused project</a>.</p>
<p>A project that recently has seen him collaborate with the Japanese musician Atsushi Izumi – together the pair explored hypnotic percussion, heavy low end, and slabs of noise. Izumi produces drum &amp; bass under the name <a href="https://anode.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anode</a>.</p>
<p>Their workflow was sparked spontaneously by a set of bass guitar soundscapes and bass lines sent by John to Atsushi. Over two years their ideas unfolded into a vast territory of organic industrialism in the orbit between Osaka and Hamburg.</p>
<p>The result was two EPs — 2024&#8217;s <a href="https://holotone.bandcamp.com/album/kisen-kongou" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Kisen Kongou</em></a>, and last year&#8217;s <a href="https://holotone.bandcamp.com/album/kyukan" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Kyukan</em></a>. With an <a href="https://holotone.bandcamp.com/album/kisen-kongou-kyukan-cd-edition-bonus-track" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expanded CD edition</a> that released in October.</p>
<p>John’s session for us today showcases those EPs, and that sound.</p>

<p><b>Episode 106</b><br />
January 29, 2026</p>
<p>We start in Detroit with Carl Craig who gets reworked by both Benedikt Frey and composer Francesco Tristano. Hear the blissful sounds of Barbara Braccini&#8217;s ambient project Malibu, and Russian guitarist and composer Max Ananyev.</p>
<p>Plus Johannes Heil, Gotye, and even rock bassist Flea. With a track from his debut solo jazz record, featuring none other than Thom Yorke.</p>
<p>Breakbeat wise there&#8217;s cuts from Skee Mask, Naibu, DJ Trace, and James Welsh. Boards of Canada make their umpteenth appearance. Disco queen Gwen Guthrie gets reworked by Larry Levan. We bop along to Tom Tom Club, Delroy Edwards, and the late 70s post punk of The Sound.</p>
<p>In the jazz section, in addition to Flea, there&#8217;s a new piece from Aaron Shaw, alongside the mid 70s post-bop jazz funk of Cannonball Adderley.</p>
<p>As if that wasn&#8217;t enough &#8211; there&#8217;s music from Gorillaz, Elliott Smith, SOPHIE, Suicide, DOOM&#8217;s Viktor Vaughn, and Sly &#038; Robbie&#8217;s superb dub version of Grace Jones&#8217;s cover of the Chrissie Hynde penned Pretenders track <em>Private Life</em>.</p>

<p><b>Episode 105</b><br />
January 22, 2026</p>
<p>We ease in with the blissful sonics of Jonny Nash, Kara-lis Coverdale, and a Brazilian jazz interpretation of Tchaikovsky. You&#8217;ve the likes of Grateful Dead, Ry X, and Nala Sinephro. Brand new Apparat. 20 year old vintage Burial. B sides from Radiohead and Blur. Brand new Mandy, Indiana, 9 Lazy 9, and Ben Solomon. As as well as the Simon Armitage featuring trio Lyr, and, the housey bangs of Fcukers, with a track from their forthcoming album. </p>
<p>There&#8217;s latin jazz from the early 80s via Azymuth. A cut from Natalie Imbruglia&#8217;s debut record. The smooth, borderline cheesy electro funk disco of Alabama&#8217;s R&#8217;n&#8217;B group The Controllers. Aphex Twin&#8217;s Richard D James serving as The Tuss. And listener pick The Black Heart Procession. Without forgetting to mention the mid 70s soul jazz groove of Grover Washington, Jr.  And, Goldie&#8217;s Rufige Kru getting the remix treatment from Phase.</p>
<p>Before closing with an early 2000s New Order classic.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s it your show. Hope you enjoy. Have a wonderful day.</p>

<p><b>Episode 104</b><br />
January 15, 2026</p>
<p>Starting with a beautiful long form piece composed by John Luther Adams we roll through some truly wonderful sound today. We&#8217;ve Norway&#8217;s ambient lord Biosphere. Manc breaks n jazz trio GoGo Penguin. Detroit duo Dopplereffekt.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a track from BC Camplight&#8217;s latest LP, recorded in Liverpool, no less. Kula Shaker have a new album coming up, and yes I play something from it. There&#8217;s new Puscifer, who also have their new record dropping in a few weeks. Hear a classic post-hardcore slab from At The Drive-In and their masterpiece record Relationship of Command.</p>
<p>Plus, Apparat. Ghost Dubs. And brand new Nathan Fake, ahead of his new album. In Rainbows era Radiohead. The forgotten &#8230;And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead. We go back to the 90s with tracks from Curve, and Bomb The Bass. There&#8217;s brand new Kim Gordon, who this week announced her 3rd solo record, due March.</p>
<p>The supreme beauty of Cassandra Jenkins, and Kathryn Williams. The dub house perfection of Anthony Naples. The underrated Chicago darkwave band Replicant. Julee Cruise. And to close, a seminal 90s drum &amp; bass anthem. Check check check check &#8230;</p>
<p>A good show all round. Shouts out to the live crew, and the listen back lot. And to you, as well.</p>

We made it through another year, and it was a challenging one. Before we get to the list I want to thank our listeners. It&#8217;s been a great year for <a href="https://darkfloor.co.uk/category/mornings-with/">Mornings With</a>, and it&#8217;s been so nice to see so many regulars on the live shows.</p>
<p>Back in November we passed the milestone of 100 shows. And along the way we&#8217;ve been able to share some truly awesome music, from a wider pool than what we put together for episodes of Mantis.</p>
<p>The publish schedule for Mantis Radio was up and down last year. Which relates to some of the challenges we faced in 2025. That said, we did produce 8 new episodes, packing some absolutely incredible guest mixes. And if you&#8217;ve missed any of them, find them <a href="https://darkfloor.co.uk/mantisradio">all here</a>.</p>
<p>In the background we&#8217;ve continued working on some of the legacy aspects of the show. Over the years of producing Mantis many changes and developments have happened to tech, podcasts, and the digital admin side of things. And that&#8217;s meant that lots of things need attention and maintenance and  we are on a massive catch up, revision, and update backlog. In the last few weeks we&#8217;ve added over 70 archive episodes to <a href="https://soundcloud.com/mantisradio" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SoundCloud</a> and we&#8217;ll be continuing to add more as we trundle into 2026. The podcast too has been slowly upgraded to the modern spec, which takes time. More legacy episodes will be added to the feed as we find the time to do so.</p>
<p>And there are more changes to happen in 2026 — including an overhaul of this website, a major new project, a return to broadcasting DSR (<a href="https://darkfloor.co.uk/?s=Darkfloor+Sound+Radio&amp;id=50546">Darkfloor Sound Radio</a>), and local community plans here in Liverpool. Plus, the continued aim of getting regular episodes of Mantis Radio out.</p>
<p>So, stay tuned.</p>
<p>Right then, here&#8217;s what you came for, my list of 50 favourite releases from 2025. As usual it&#8217;s a diverse selection, reflecting my taste. Some of these you&#8217;ll know, love, and have probably already had some serious rotation in your space. Others, maybe not. And a few, probably, you might not like. But that&#8217;s OK. That&#8217;s the beauty of music. Let us know which releases from last year you loved, <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/147307194">drop a comment</a>.</p>
<p>The list comes complete with a brief rundown of what the release sounds like, and each pick comes with a link where you can listen. Mostly that means direct to the artist/label on their Bandcamp.</p>

<p><b>Episode 103</b><br />
December 11, 2025</p>
<p>American musicians Julianna Barwick and Mary Lattimore will early next year release a collaborative record. Hear a track from it, up first today. Plus, another track from that wonderful James K album. And, a cut from the excellent Women In Jazz comp that has finally been released. Hear a superb piece by Plúmm featuring Ma.Moyo.</p>
<p>Om Unit has recently released a 3rd collection of versions of his Acid Dub Studies, and you&#8217;ll hear two tracks from that today. Plus, bold and classic sounding new techno from Justin Berkovi. The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Sheffield&#8217;s Heaven 17. Tom Waits. And tabla player Prabhu Edouard.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ve a 1996 b-side from Photek, followed by a heavy breakbeat slab from the same year, from The Prodigy. That&#8217;s followed by the big sound of Aussie duo Power Glove, and the LA trap rap of DeathbyRomy.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ve a new soul slammer from British dnb producer Break. I reminisce about a band I was introduced to at middle school, called Silverchair. Those of a certain age will remember them I&#8217;m sure.</p>
<p>And in the final part of this week&#8217;s show &#8211; Frankie Knuckles remixes Lisa Stansfield. dälek team up with drummer Charles Hayward. We travel to Japan and share some Melt-Banana. Urban Heat cover one of the all time great tracks, imo. There&#8217;s newly unleased Aphex Twin. And to close, a bouncy track from the Chemical Brothers.</p>
<p>Next week might be a holiday special, I&#8217;ve yet to decide, but if you&#8217;ve any particular requests for the season, get in touch.</p>
<p><strong>Listen Live </strong>Thursdays 10am on <a href="https://twitch.tv/mantisradio" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Twitch</a>.</p>

<p><em>Each week Mx Darkfloor soundtracks your morning, setting you up for the day. Drawing on many styles and genres. From deep drone, ambient, and dub, through to jazz, grunge, jungle, and breaks. There&#8217;s side quests into downtempo, trip-hop, and hip-hop. As well as approachable experimental sound, African rhythms, and Asian beats. To folk, no wave, shoegaze, psych, and fuzzy sludge. </em></p>
<p><em>The takeaway is you never know what they&#8217;ll play, but it&#8217;ll be day friendly, good music.</em></p>

<h4>Featured Guest</h4>
<p>Today&#8217;s guest is Ned Woodman&#8217;s <a href="https://soundcloud.com/torrexvi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Skin Teeth</a>.</p>
<p>Ned fell in love with hardcore back in &#8217;92 at the impressionable young age of 13. And was DJing not long after. He&#8217;s not looked back.</p>
<p>His moniker Skin Teeth is a homage to those raw, sample based rave vibes of the early 90s, and is in fact named after <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAswGYAazP0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a track by Noise Factory</a>, from his favourite of years. 1992.</p>
<p>In 2017 he founded the Manchester based label <a href="https://torrexvi.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Torre</a>. And over the last 8 years has helped put out over 45 releases from a varied but breakbeat obsessed roster of artists.</p>
<p>His session today is a showcase mix of his label and sound. And it smacks. Hard.</p>

<p>This week we&#8217;ve 10cc, Beach Fossils, LFO, Jamie xx, K-Lone, Radiohead, Thelonious Monk, + a triple hit of Sly &amp; Robbie.</p>
<p>Listen back <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/145064184">on Patreon</a>, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/mantisradio/sets/mornings-with-darkfloor">SoundCloud</a>, and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLv9_QiiwKVhqrw467oovwY43x89178Rjj">YouTube</a>.</p>
<p><b>Episode 102</b><br />
December 4, 2025</p>
<p>Starting at the beginning, the Brooklyn indie rock band Beach Fossils greet you. From there, we go deep into the ambient float with tracks from Manuel Göttsching&#8217;s solo project Ashra. Canada&#8217;s Loscil. And, another Brooklyn based outfit, the duo Disiniblud. Their self titled debut is a great record. There are a lot of great records on this show. This episode, no exception.</p>
<p>Right, it&#8217;s always a good time for some jazz, and this week, one of the greats, Thelonious Monk, makes another appearance. Hear a track nearly lost due to Somalia&#8217;s two decade civil war. The dream pop of James K &#8211; another contender for one of the best albums of the year. Followed by 10cc doing their art rock, pop rock thing back in 1977.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a track from the Ari-Up and Adrian Sherwood early 80s dub project New Age Steppers. And, one of Steve Cropper&#8217;s greatest tracks, who died this week, with Booker T, and The M.G.&#8217;s. You&#8217;ll know the track.</p>
<p>Next, a triple hit of Sly &amp; Robbie produced dub reggae. A listener suggestion of Japanese dub band Fishmans. Thanks out to Aaron for the pick. There&#8217;s a track from the East meets West, Aussie trio Glass Beams. Plus, the Bee Gees sampling Libyan musician Najib Alhoush.</p>
<p>K-Lone proves there is house music I really like, with a cut from his new album on New York imprint Incienso. Unexpectantly there&#8217;s a Fred Again track I not only like, but play. Helped by the fact it features guests Amyl and The Sniffers. I know right.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a double dose of Honey Dijon. First with Cakes Da Killa, and a hip house banger. Then with her Jamie xx guest feature on last year&#8217;s fantastic LP, <em>In Wave</em>s. I&#8217;m looking forward to catching Honey play this weekend at Manchester&#8217;s Homobloc.</p>
<p>Just a few more left, including No Joy. Who again, has put out one of the best albums of the year. Maybe. I think so. A Radiohead track you&#8217;ve probably not heard in time. And to close, a 1991 remix by Moby of the dons of bleep, LFO.</p>

<p><b>Episode 100</b><br />
November 20, 2025</p>
<p>Marcel Dettmann&#8217;s remix of a collaborative piece from Âme and Matthew Herbert starts us off. Before we dip our ear toes into some juicy dub from Adrian Sherwood, the great King Tubby, and Nazamba. Starting as we have we continue with some mid 90s drum &amp; bass from Arcon 2&#8217;s Leon Mar, that slips casual as you like into a fresh track from Clark&#8217;s brand new album.</p>
<p>Suitably warmed up, you&#8217;ve the early 70s blues rock of Polish group Breakout, before a house cut from Danny Brown&#8217;s latest LP. There&#8217;s brand new Braiden, recent Minor Science, and a relicked High Contrast classic from the 2000s, by Overmono. Another slice of mid 90s jungle breaks comes courtesy of Orca and Deep Jungle. And there&#8217;s new jack swing of Bell Biv DeVoe with their classic track <em>Poison</em>. DJ Shadow reworks King Gizzard. Jam City pops up. And you&#8217;ve the big beat breaks of Capoeira Twins into the lofi house of Ben Kaczor.</p>
<p>Hear a track from jazz harpist Dorothy Ashby. The proto disco and funk of Willie Hutch. And Nirvana, with a track from their &#8217;89 debut record.</p>
<p>Edging close to the end, tracks from the surf rockers The Ventures. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. A Pulp classic. And seeing us out this week, Chicago&#8217;s Cajmere and one of the best house records I know.</p>
<p>A classic Mornings With show if you will.</p>

<p>This week Inigo Kennedy, Kassa Overall, Mary Lattimore, and Skullcrusher. With Baxter Dury, Eusebeia, Blawan, and Ella Fitzgerald.</p>
<p><strong>Episode 97</strong><br />
October 23, 2025</p>
<p>Listen back <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/141886124" target="_blank">on Patreon</a>, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/mantisradio/sets/mornings-with-mx" target="_blank">SoundCloud</a>, and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLv9_QiiwKVhqrw467oovwY43x89178Rjj" target="_blank">YouTube</a>.</p>
<p>So, what do we have. Well, from Scotland we&#8217;ve the IDM dusted sound of Pub, and LA&#8217;s Fields of Mist. Before the indie folk of Skullcrusher and a track from her brand new second album. Julianna Barwick partners up with harpist Mary Lattimore. Hear a single from their forthcoming album, due early next year.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s brand new Inigo Kennedy, showing, well reinforcing really, just how good he is. Classic Boards of Canada. A new remix by Marie Davidson of a recent track by Baxter Dury. Together with the French electro of DJ Mehdi, Chomero, and Ed Banger Records.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ve the deep lush dubstep sound of late 2000s Pangaea. And, the supreme sound of saxophonist Sonny Rollins showing the talent that he and his bandmates were with a fantastic recording from 1956. Which leads us into two back to back productions from the contemporary jazz work of Kassa Overall. On the first Overall reworks a Wu-Tang classic, and on the second, hear a track he produced for Detroit&#8217;s Danny Brown.</p>
<p>Also this week, music from Third Man Records and the punky fun of SNOOPER. Simon Heartfield&#8217;s post rock project OLORON. Early country from bluegrass don Bill Monroe. Deep jungle sub action from Eusebeia. Plus, a new banger from the Ibibio Sound Machine. And, a cut from that hefty new Blawan record. That you need to hear.</p>
<p>Closing out the episode, Liza Minelli, and the Deftones. Yes indeed.</p>

<p>This week on the show, music from Blawan, Broadcast, Drumcorps, and Tim Hecker. Plus, a whole bunch more. As you&#8217;ve come to expect.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s the usual deal today &#8211; in that I&#8217;ve a diverse range of current and old music. Building from an ambient, blissful and some might even say calm beginning, through beats, bass, guitar, vocals, and jungle.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ve ambient Aphex Twin. Scotland&#8217;s Mogwai. And the exceptional work of Tim Hecker. Before the downtempo psy of Man With No Name. A German dub version of a Manchester anthem. Detroit&#8217;s Danny Brown, again. Brand new <a href="https://darkfloor.co.uk/mantisradio310/">Zhark Recordings</a>. King Tubby, being the GOAT that he was. And even, brand new Drumcorps Yes, the breakcore/grindcore producer you think it is.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ve the beautiful sounds of Boards of Canada, Molly Nilsson, and Ezra Collective&#8217;s Ife Ogunjobi covering Chet Baker. As well as chunky beats from Death Grips, SCALER, and Blawan. Before the aforementioned jungle, served by Equinox, and Tim Reaper.</p>
<p>Along the way, music from Sly &amp; Robbie, tweaked by Howie B. Brand new lo-fi sonics from Lukid. Brooklyn&#8217;s Model/Actriz. The husky blues rock voice of Tom Waits. All before closing with a dedication and tribute to my Mum, Lynne, with the Pet Shop Boys.</p>
<p>Great music from tip to tail. As per usual. Yes.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s the write-up for this week. Have yourself a lovely day and I&#8217;ll catch you again soon.</p>

<p>Beginning at the start as seems sensible, hear beautiful music from rRoxymore, South African trumpeter Feya Faku, and the trip-hop of Australian duo a.s.o. . There&#8217;s the ambient country of Nashville&#8217;s Shrunken Elvis &#8211; a surprise find of mine. And the deep captivating vocals of Lee Hazlewood.</p>
<p>Denmark&#8217;s Trentemøller gets some more attention on this show. Damn right too. And I dig out a deep warm electro cut from the brothers Bitstream.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s something from the brand new John Maus record. And a two track back to back sample raid between a late 90s rock band, and an Italian parody comedy group. Yup, you read that right.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ve something from Nigeria by way of The Funkess. And from Somalia, by way of the Dur-Dur Band.</p>
<p>UNKLE pops up, with a VIP dub from their current disco phase, before the industrial supergroup Damage Group lay it down thick.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s another producer from down under, Loure, with a deep acid house n breaks cut. Jazz trumpeter Emma-Jean Thackray gives herself a club refix. Before the darker, dub side of house producer Maya Jane Coles and her Nocturnal Sunshine project.</p>
<p>Hear British violinist and composer Ruby Colley. The soul of Melba Moore. And even a percussion flex from Blink-182.</p>
<p>Winding up the show, the final couple of tracks come via the goat, Scott Walker. Something from the Smashing Pumpkins 91 debut album. Early Suede. And a lesser hear 1993 era one time Photek jungle project, Code of Practice.</p>

<p>From the slow strums of Nottingham&#8217;s Bloody Head, to the prog gods King Crimson. And to the Ghanian Borga highlife of Atta Frimpong, which, links to The Smiths. It&#8217;ll hopefully make sense on the show.</p>
<p>Jon Hassell follows on from Boards of Canada. Ray Charles gives us a Merseyside cover. And, hear the brand new single from Danny Brown, ahead of his new album dropping later this year.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s the likes of EELS. DEVO. Roxy Music. And, The Rezillos. And, the 80s electro hip-hop of Lovebug Starski. You&#8217;ve Roberta Flack. Country pioneer Ernest Tubb. A late 90s pop slab from the Pet Shop Boys. And a William Orbit remix.</p>
<p>All before a stunning piece of Henry Purcell inspired classical music, composed by Michael Nyman. You&#8217;ve the Gorillaz. A cut from JASSS&#8217; brand new album. And the Auteurs.</p>
<p>We close with Nine Inch Nails, and a garage banger from CCL &amp; D Tiffany.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s another meandering selection of sound to get through your day.</p>

<p><em>Each week Mx Darkfloor soundtracks your morning, setting you up for the day. Drawing on many styles and genres. From deep drone, ambient, and dub, through to jazz, grunge, jungle, and breaks. There&#8217;s side quests into downtempo, trip-hop, and hip-hop. As well as approachable experimental sound, African rhythms, and Asian beats. To folk, no wave, shoegaze, psych, and fuzzy sludge. </em></p>
<p><em>The takeaway is you never know what they&#8217;ll play, but it&#8217;ll be day friendly, good music.</em></p>

<h4>Featured Guest</h4>
<p>Bridging a gap between bleak, deep, and melancholic Rune Bagge&#8217;s <a href="https://soundcloud.com/runebaggecph" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sound</a> has captivated me since first hearing his music through Swedish label <a href="https://northernelectronics.bandcamp.com/album/grab-a-star" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Northern Electronics</a>. With them he has released three albums, all of which are excellent. Rune&#8217;s material has seen release through the likes of labels Kulør, Ownlife, and Kontaxt Records.</p>
<p>His session for Mantis Radio is all unreleased material. Some of which is due for release with Northern Electronics and the German record label, Kaos.</p>
<p>Active for over a decade, he&#8217;s one of Copenhagen&#8217;s techno heavyweights.</p>

<p>We begin and stay for a good chunk of the first hour in a dreamy haze. With tracks from Dark Entries&#8217; Sunfear, Bedrock, Nick Breinich, Malibu, and 36. All before getting into the Reich channelling minimalism of Nova Scotia&#8217;s JOYFULTALK. That&#8217;s followed by the rich beauty of Trentemøller and vocalist DíSA.</p>
<p>Suitably eased in, we get the riffs out with deftones and Fugazi. Before retreating back in contemporary jazz of ambient maestro Murcof, working with French trumpeter Erik Truffaz.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a cut from KAYTRANADA&#8217;s new album. The disco dub of Jahtari&#8217;s Domino Slims. The bopping house tech of Or:la, and the electro of Marcela Dias Sindaco.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll hear a live version of an track by Hallucinogen and Ott. Electric harp takes centre stage with Dorothy Ashby. Plus, there&#8217;s the brilliant brand new track from the gold lyricist Aesop Rock.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve early Faithless, and a track from their debut LP. The brain itching Sheffield duo SND make an appearance. And, there&#8217;s a lesser heard soundtrack inspired techno track from one of the scene&#8217;s best &#8211; Jeff Mills.</p>
<p>Closing the show, mid 90s Aphex Twin. Because, sometimes you need it.</p>
<p>Big love out to everyone who listened in live, and you, for checking out the show today. Have yourself a lovely day.</p>

<p>Ease into today&#8217;s episode with the beautiful dub tech of Mammo rolling into Finland&#8217;s Tiiu Helinä, and the first of two tracks from German digi-dub label Jahtari and their new compilation<em> Jahtarian Dubbers, Vol. 5</em>.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s the reductionist house of Montreal&#8217;s Adam Feingold. Mid 80s Chicago house from the master Larry Heard. The dub and dancehall of Speng Bong, from that Jahtari comp. And, Scottish alt rockers The Jesus and The Mary Chain covering the Beach Boys. Who knew?</p>
<p>There&#8217;s the opening track from the excellent new Lucrecia Dalt LP, featuring none other than David Sylvian. Two tracks back to back from MF Doom and Danger Mouse&#8217;s 2005 one time album project DANGERDOOM. Something from the first HIM record. And, the opening track of Alice in Chain&#8217;s second full-length, <em>Dirt</em>.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ve late 70s era Motörhead, A cut from that excellent new deftones record. The delicate indie folk sound of Skullcrusher. Elbow. And a track from one of the favourite albums of my youth, A Perfect Circle&#8217;s debut longplayer, Mer de Noms.</p>
<p>Hear German post-rock, as recommended by listener Brawny. Country legend Kris Kristofferson. Late 90s Squarepusher. Something from the brand new &#8211; and excellent &#8211; Ganser record. The singular talent that is Enya. And Hamburg&#8217;s Ronny Pries, who takes us on a Detroit techno inspired ride.</p>
<p>Nickbee &amp; Deerhill serve up some Noisia approved melodic halftime drum &amp; bass. You&#8217;ve remastered early period Dillinja. And some late 60s Brazilian funk.</p>
<p>All before winding down with the blues of Blind Willie McTell, and to close, Johnny Cash singing Kris Kristofferson.</p>

<p>After a week away, visiting family in Poland, I&#8217;m back once again, bringing you another selection of great music to get you through your day.</p>
<p>From the Stockholm&#8217;s Northern Electronics, we&#8217;ve Toronto’s Rita Mikhail debuting as Trailcam, following releasing over the last decade as E-Saggila. A near decade old liminal space track from Burial. Something from dub techno pioneers Basic Channel and their Rhythm &amp; Sound project. American saxophonist Charles Lloyd. And the deep 170 ambient textures of New York&#8217;s Brendon Moeller.</p>
<p>San Francisco&#8217;s coatshek imagine a queer bathhouse for a defunct brand of poppers, complete with voiceover from yours truly of the brand. Truly unexpected radio diversions today.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s the groovy rolling hip-hop soul of DJ Flea, fresh out on OPAL. DEVO doing what they do best. And the sublime voice of French composer, lyricist, singer, and showman, Charles Trénet.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll hear Trinidad&#8217;s Fimber Bravo. Early period Sonic Youth. And, a track from one of my favourite releases of 2024 by Actress.</p>
<p>Manchester jazz breaks group GoGo Penguin make another appearance on the show. You&#8217;veFischerspooner. And the rich ambient delight of composers and multi-instrumentalists Rachika Nayar and Nina Keith, who as Disiniblud present their ode to queer utopia.</p>
<p>The evergreen Nirvana make their umpteenth appearance. Clark bangs it out with Thom Yorke. Annie Hall&#8217;s deep electro warmth rolls into a new garage cut from Matt Interject, before we go full throttle 91 house vibes with Sabrina Johnston x the Brothers in Rhythm.</p>
<p>Winding down but upping the queer direction we bop along to Patrick Cowley and Sylvester, finishing on the piano man himself, Elton John.</p>
<p>Had a ball with this one. Have a wonderful weekend y&#8217;all.</p>

<p>Easing in with the lush dub tech of Lithuania&#8217;s Grad U, we float past the Liz Fraser voiced Sun&#8217;s Signature, and the deep dubstep of Elemental, into the melodic Detroit sound of DJ Bone.</p>
<p>Chicago&#8217;s Robert Owen lends his iconic voice to Coldcut. Machinedrum ups the tempo with a cut from his LP Vapor City. All before we wind down with the Ethiopian groove of Mulatu Astatke.</p>
<p>MF Doom lays it out with The Herbaliser. You&#8217;ve Team Doyobi of Manchester &#8216;s SKAM. And, Nigerian highlife fusion duo The Cavemen. There&#8217;s a recent track from Amon Tobin&#8217;s hip-hop aligned project Two Fingers. Two cuts from the US rap label Ruff Ryders. ODESZA remixing the soundtrack work of Theodore Shapiro. You&#8217;ll hear the wholesome jazz beats of Mr Scruff, as well as classic Basement Jaxx, featuring the late Slarta John.</p>
<p>Chappell Roan divides listeners with her sugary pop. You&#8217;ve pop titans Pet Shop Boys. Plus, peak At The Drive-In, and Pixies. There&#8217;s something from the brand new Osees album. The cold wave of Boy Harsher. The ethereal vocal talent of Ireland&#8217;s Maria Somerville. And the shoegaze drift of a track from No Joy&#8217;s superb new album. Not forgetting a 1983 classic from Talking Heads.</p>
<p>All that, this week, on Mornings with Darkfloor.</p>

<p>We begin today&#8217;s show with a heady hypnotic track from Mick Harris&#8217; industrial dub project Scorn. Shifting into the lush shimmer of Jonny Nash, and a piece from his brand new album. There&#8217;s trumpeter Freddie Hubbard. Arguably the most prolific musician in Finland, if not Europe, Aleksi Perälä. And something new from the Nigerian born, London based Obongjayar, featuring the mighty Little Simz.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ve late 70s afro funk from T.P. Orchestre Poly-Rythmo. The new project from 2562&#8217;s Dave Huismans &#8211; ex_libris. And the boppy, positive life vibes of Peter Broderick.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll hear the beautiful work of Jeff Buckley, with a piece from his debut record <em>Grace</em> &#8211; one of the best albums ever recorded. The supreme vocals of Edith Piaf. And something fresh from Norway&#8217;s Biosphere.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a cut from Brendon Moeller&#8217;s latest dub techno EP. Mid 90s era Future Sound of London. The iconic Ricardo Villalobos. Joey Beltram and an early techno roller under his Open Mind alias. Brand new big bass n breaks from Brain Rays. A cut from Estoc&#8217;s stunning new record for Chinese experimental industrial bass music imprint SVBKVLT. And peak Madonna, with a track from her greatest record.</p>
<p>Following the electro folk of Ukraine&#8217;s Go_A we roll into heavy riff territory with Tool, finishing on Melvins.</p>

<p><b>Episode 88</b><br />
July 31, 2025</p>
<p>Opening the show, the long version of <em>Skylab</em> by Telex&#8217;s Dan Lacksman. But, the later 70s Electronic System version, not the acoustic early 70s version I tell you about the show. Right artist, right title, wrong year, wrong track. Hey ho.</p>
<p>From that beautiful smooth synth flex we travel through the Cuban congas of Buena Vista Social Club&#8217;s Miguel &#8220;Angá&#8221; Díaz. Mid 70s Roxy Music. Hall &amp; Oates. Sonic Youth. And, The Cure. Before coming right back to the present day, with a brand spanking new banger by Debby Friday. Followed by brand new dreamy Jamie xx.</p>
<p>Australian duo Confidence Man collab with Orbital, reworking one of their early 90s anthems. And Larry Levan lends his magic touch to a disco funker from Gwen Guthrie.</p>
<p>Hear a piece from the brand new album by the Chicago based trio Purelink. Beat heavy Beastie Boys. That new NIN track. And, three tracks featuring the late legend Ozzy Osbourne. Less obvious cuts perhaps, but favourites of mine.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ve the Argentinian tango don Astor Piazzolla. Cher. Yes, Cher. The ever wonderful sound of the Bill Evan Trio. And to close, a triple riff throwdown with tracks from Tad, brand new Deftones, and, Jeff the Brotherhood.</p>
<p>Our final track this week pays tribute to another artist who has passed, Eamon Downes of Liquid. So, closing out the show, the 1992 anthem, <em>Sweet Harmony</em>.</p>

<p><b>Episode 87</b><br />
July 17, 2025</p>
<p>We kick things off with Mark Pritchard &amp; Thom Yorke. Before rolling through tracks from Solipsism, Jazz-O-Tech&#8217;s Mattia Prete, Daniel Calvi &amp; Leonie, and Lunar Disko&#8217;s Armonics. An old dubby house record from Marco Bernardi. Some great new house from Italy&#8217;s Marco Passarani. And the excellent electro of French producer Umwelt. All before the melodic richness of xxxy, and David Holmes&#8217; remix of Orbital&#8217;s early anthem <em>Belfast</em>.</p>
<p>From here we switch things up, with Harry Belafonte singing chain gang songs, and the dreamy surfer rockabilly of Bailey&#8217;s Nervous Kats. You&#8217;ll hear the original 1970 version of a track frequently sampled in 90s hip-hop, by Jean-Jacques Perrey. Trust me, you&#8217;ll recognise it when you hear it.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a track from Mara Simpson&#8217;s beautiful new record. Warm solo folk from Mark Lanegan. Then we get into a full on drum flex between two dons of percussion: Tony Allen and Ginger Baker. Playing with Fela Kuti in 1978. It&#8217;s an incredible recording.</p>
<p>In the final part of this week&#8217;s show, Uganda&#8217;s Geoffrey Oryema. Radiohead. Fugazi. And a double hitter from Massive Attack to close with two tracks the Bristol group worked on. One I knew, A Perfect Circle. And one I only recently discovered from the GOAT, Madonna.</p>

<p><b>Episode 86</b><br />
July 10, 2025</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a hot one in the studio this one, bright sunlight, bold tracks, yours truly sweating throughout.</p>
<p>Starting with the deep dub of Italian duo Babe Roots, hear recent tracks from Loscil, Claire Rousay, and Rival Consoles. German group Jazzanova get an afrohouse refix courtesy of Kid Fonque. There&#8217;s the cosmic jazz of Zoh Amba. The classic late 60s sound of Wayne Shorter. And Mali meets Ireland with a track from Rokia Koné &#038; Jacknife Lee.</p>
<p>We go all the way back to the 1930s with a song sung by the incarcerated Moses &#8220;Clear Rock&#8221; Platt, recorded by pioneering musicologist and folklorist John Lomax. That&#8217;s followed by those darlings of hardcore, Turnstile. Before we go back to 91 era Nirvana, peak BT, Evil Nine, and debut album De La Soul.</p>
<p>Sadly, last week, Friday July 4, film and TV composer Mark Snow died. Most known for his work on The X-Files, Snow worked on many TV shows from the mid 70s up until 2020. The 1996 CD single of his theme was the first record I bought with my own money. A CD I&#8217;ve kept fondly all these years. RIP.</p>
<p>The show winds down with a rework of Theodore Shapiro&#8217;s theme of hit Apple TV show Severance, by the US duo ODESZA. The grandaddy Aphex Twin. And the abstract electronics of Tyondai Braxton.</p>
<p>Closing out the show, a band from my teens &#8211; Placebo.</p>

Brand new Songhoy Blues. Kompakt&#8217;s Golden Bug. Kayla Painter wonderful electronics. Chrissy&#8217;s bright breakbeat. Dutch DJ/producer Steffi. Sheffield&#8217;s 96 Back. 1997 era Blur. Idaho&#8217;s Built To Spill. And a late 70s psychedelic Bollywood track.</p>
<p>We pick it up a bit with some Swedish garage rock, courtesy of The Hives. Before going balls to the wall with the heavy riffs of Lamb of God. Shifting as we often do, we&#8217;ve an early Peter Gabriel masterpiece. Before afrobeat don Tony Allen. You&#8217;ve the electric maloya sound of Jako Maron. The exceptional jazz + breakbeat sound of Manchesterian trio GoGo Penguin. And a cut from The Budos Band&#8217;s latest LP. All before an old hardcore breaks track from one of the greats, Skanna.</p>

Culminating in the emergence of record label Darkfloor Sound – pushing the work of Ontal, Interjector, Savagen, Savier, and Herd. Expanding and bridging the sounds they champion on Mantis Radio.</em></p>

Over the years they&#8217;ve shared the stage alongside Mark Broom, Ben Pest, Svreca, Ancient Methods, Perc, Kamikaze Space Programme, Shelley Parker, Inigo Kennedy, Voidloss, P-Hocto, Coefficient, Jerome Hill, C Mantle, and many more.</em></p>

<p><b>Episode 84</b><br />
June 26, 2025</p>
<p>Beginning with an early track from Eusebeia, before the likes of Massive Attack, Cautious Clay, and the incredible voice of Annahstasia.</p>
<p>We roll into some deep jungle from the 90s, before slipping into the likes of early Tipper and recent Underworld. You&#8217;ve funk from the Beastie Boys. Late-era The Fall. Boom bap from NYC&#8217;s Kurious. And classic early 60s smooth as silk jazz from Ike Quebec and Grant Green.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll hear one of my all time favourite tracks, from Eric B and Rakim, getting the remix treatment from Coldcut. The neo soul of Genesis Owusu. John Lydon and PiL. Nine Inch Nails. The garage rock of Chrome Cranks. Local hardcore band Salt the Snail. The ever cowbell enriched Radioactive Man. A track from two of jazz music&#8217;s masters, Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane. And a side project of a side project from members of Bauhaus.</p>
<p><strong>Listen Live </strong>Thursdays 10am on <a href="https://twitch.tv/mantisradio" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Twitch</a>.</p>

<p><b>Episode 83</b><br />
June 19, 2025</p>
<p>We ease in with the wonderful noodles of James Holden&#8217;s new record, a collaborative work with Polish Jazz clarinettist Waclaw Zimpel. From there we&#8217;ve Armatures, Nightmares on Wax, and a track from rRoxymore&#8217;s forthcoming album.</p>
<p>We go cosmic techno with the master Jeff Mills. There&#8217;s brand new Adrian Sherwood, featuring the late great Lee Perry. New Soil continue their Woman In Jazz series and you can hear last month&#8217;s track from Emma Johnson.</p>
<p>Mid 90s DJ Food, when it was a collective of bods and not strictly, Strictly Kev. Long overdue, there&#8217;s a short track from late 80s era mbv. Early prog from dons Yes &#8211; the first of several Bill Bruford drummed tracks on today&#8217;s show.</p>
<p>A classic from Queens of the Stone Age. Dusty rolling breakbeat from Skee Mask. Robert Plant singing with Alison Krauss. A Glaswegian banger from new band Vlure. A new b-side from The Chems&#8217; Tom Rowland. All before two tracks from the master that is Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails. And some chap called David Bowie.</p>
<p>Running towards the end of the show. A track from Little Simz&#8217; brand new album Lotus. Bill Bruford, again. This time channelling the big band swing of Buddy Rich. SKAM. And, to close, Supertramp.</p>

<p>On the show today, music from The Beach Boys, Massive Attack, Nitzer Ebb, and Source Direct.</p>
<p>A track from Loscil&#8217;s new album starts the show, before we roll into some lovely dub techno from Lithuania&#8217;s Pagalve, and early material from The Orb.

Both are featured on this edition of show.</p>
<p>Elsewhere you&#8217;ve music from J. J. Cale. John Zorn, and Texan band Loma. Massive Attack gets the reversion treatment from Mad Professor. I play yet more Emma-Jean Thackray. There&#8217;s something from the excellent NEW album from Pulp. You&#8217;ve The Dandy Warhols, covering Gang of Four. UNKLE. Ireland&#8217;s Sound Breaking Sky reworking Kim Wllde. Yes. That Kim Wilde. </p>
<p>Plus, The Who. Shellac. And Niagara. Before a drum heavy finale featuring Roni Size, Sully, Total Science, and Source Direct.</p>

<h4>Featured Guest</h4>
<p>Starting as a solo cassette tape manipulation project by Matt Cargill, Sly has expanded to incorporate layers of electronics and live drums. Sometimes with saxophones. Or in Liverpool recently at the inaugural edition of local festival <a href="https://www.outer-waves.co.uk/">Outer Waves</a>, violin. The band sit somewhere between noise, free jazz, and all out drum warfare.</p>
<p>Cargill says</p>
<blockquote><p>imagine Boredoms soundtracking an experimental noir thriller and you might be getting close</p></blockquote>
<p>They&#8217;ve shared the floor with the likes of Lightning Bolt, Wolf Eyes, Dälek, and Swans. You get the idea. <em><a href="https://familydrone.bandcamp.com/album/moon-is-doom-backwards">Moon Is Doom Backwards</a></em>, their latest record, is available through UK charitable label Human Worth. Sly and the Family Drone are a band best experienced live. It&#8217;s hard to explain the catharsis they as a band and you as a witness go through. In place of that, Cargill has put together a mixtape of some of their music, and that of others.</p>
<p>They&#8217;ve some UK shows coming up this summer, including at New River Studios in London, on June 6. At The Holloway in Norwich, on July 25. And At No90 Hackney Wick, back in London, on July 26.</p>

<p><em>Each week Mx Darkfloor soundtracks your morning, setting you up for the day. Drawing on many styles and genres. From deep drone, ambient, and dub, through to jazz, grunge, jungle, and breaks. There&#8217;s side quests into downtempo, trip-hop, and hip-hop. As well as approachable experimental sound, African rhythms, and Asian beats. To folk, no wave, shoegaze, psych, and fuzzy sludge. </em></p>
<p><em>The takeaway is you never know what they&#8217;ll play, but it&#8217;ll be day friendly, good music.</em></p>

<h4>Featured Guest</h4>
<p>Earlier this year, Canadian producer and sound artist <a href="https://cstrecords.com/en-gb/pages/t-gowdy" target="_blank">Timothy Gowdy</a> released, via the excellent label Montreal based label Constellation, his new album <em><a href="https://tgowdy.bandcamp.com/album/trill-scan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Trill Scan</a></em>. It&#8217;s a wonderful listen and has quickly become one of my favourite records of the last few months.</p>
<p><iframe style="border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=1717523709/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=333333/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" seamless=""><a href="https://tgowdy.bandcamp.com/album/trill-scan">Trill Scan by T. Gowdy</a></iframe></p>
<p>Releasing immersive ambient tech sound since 2018 has T. Gowdy, on this new record, his 3rd LP for the label, he draws on his background in medieval choral music and classical guitar.</p>
<p>In a <a href="https://www.juno.co.uk/junodaily/2025/03/25/t-gowdy-interview-i-didnt-think-it-would-work-but-i-just-kept-making-tracks/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recent interview</a> with Juno Daily he talks about his background and the inspiration behind and process of his latest album.</p>
<blockquote><p>This album has taken some time (by my standards). The recording process really began before I knew it began in a church with a small ensemble of singers in rural Quebec where I was recording feedback and vocals together for a grant. Then a few years later, I began playing pretty obsolete lute music composed by French lutenists of the 1600’s. At this time the idea of combining unlike forms formed. I didn’t think it would work but I just kept making tracks in my studio. In terms of state of mind, I would generalize to say that my mental state has been focussed on self transformation.</p></blockquote>
<p>Those earlier LPs, <em><a href="https://tgowdy.bandcamp.com/album/therapy-with-colour" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Therapy With Colour</a></em> (2020), and <em><a href="https://tgowdy.bandcamp.com/album/miracles" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Miracles</a></em> (2022) are methodical explorations of psychoacoustic analogue electronics. Further to his music productions, he has worked as engineer for the likes of SUUNS, Ada Lea, and Ensemble.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s with great pleasure that he is our guest today.</p>

<h4><strong>Featured Guest</strong></h4>
<p>Last year I came across a record by a band from Sweden called <a href="https://forfallet.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Förfallet</a>.</p>
<p>They’re a 4 piece black metal group founded in Stockholm in 2019 and their music is their way of expressing hopelessness, loss of belief, grief, depression, as well as handling society’s downfall, and the inevitable destruction of the individual. Indeed their name means agony.</p>
<p>The record that I discovered was <em><a href="https://forfallet.bandcamp.com/album/ve">Ve</a></em>. The band&#8217;s second full length. It&#8217;s an incredible record and one of the best <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/50-favourite-119450620">that I heard last year</a>.</p>

<h4>Featured Guest</h4>
<p>Edinburgh&#8217;s Gregg Davies has guested on Mantis a few times over the years. Firstly in 2013 as <a href="https://darkfloor.co.uk/mantisradio134/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Savagen</a> &#8211; his techno project with Ingen. Returning in 2018 as his murky industrial sludge solo project <a href="https://darkfloor.co.uk/mantisradio264/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Savier</a>. This time he returns with his most ferocious project yet &#8211; Raw Village Hall &#8211; the hardware based breakcore machinations of a lunatic.</p>
<p>Gregg&#8217;s productions (and artwork) have continued to impress me over the years, and it&#8217;s with great pleasure I welcome him back once again. His artwork graces the cover art for this episode.</p>
<p>Everything in you&#8217;ll hear in session is by him. His current release as Raw Village Hall is &#8211; <em><a href="https://acrerecordings.bandcamp.com/album/not-even-close" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Not Even Close</a></em> &#8211; out now on Acre Recordings. Recently, February 16th, he released as Savier, Volume 1 of his <em><a href="https://bloodyfunnyclown.bandcamp.com/album/cupboard-sessions-volume-1" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Cupboard Sessions</a>,</em> through his own label <a href="https://bloodyfunnyclown.bandcamp.com/music" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bloody Funny Clown</a>.</p>

<p><b>Episode 68</b><br />
February 20, 2025</p>
<p>Today’s show is a special edition, showcasing fantastic female artists. And we start with the ambient sound of Amsterdam’s Elisa Batt featuring German vocalist Jenny Thiele. Asher White covers Jessica Pratt on her new record. There&#8217;s brand new and forthcoming Hannah Peel, with Chinese percussionist Beibei Wang. A cut from Maria BC’s beautiful new indie folk record <em>Marathon</em>. Two cuts from last year’s essential jazz compilation <em>Women In Jazz.</em> The folk rock of Laura Marling. And the epic flamenco channelling alternative pop of ROSALÍA.</p>
<p>But, there&#8217;s more. Including brand new Jill Scott, and a track from her new record, her first in over a decade. The Queens &#8211; Dolly Parton, and Annie Lennox. Chappell Roan. Of course. The Welsh/Cornish dancer turned musician Gwenno remixes Sun’s Signature – the recent(ish) project from Cocteau Twin’s Liz Frazer and percussionist Damien Reece.</p>
<p>The k-pop titans BLACKPINK have recently dropped a new EP, yes, I’m playing a track from it. You&#8217;ll either love it, or question why you listen to my shows.</p>
<p>Also, the Liverpool born, Glasgow based KAVARI and her crunchy drum &amp; bass slabs. Australian guitarist Bonnie Mercer. Kathleen Hanna’s Le Tigre, and Bikini Kill, cause you gotta. Supporting that, more punk energy from Amyl and The Sniffers and Cheap Perfume.</p>
<p>You’ll hear a classic bop along track from M.I.A., and hear about my late appreciation ffor Natalie Imbruglia. And, the excellent listener pick Shilpa Ray.</p>
<p>In the final part of the show, two covers. One of Radiohead, and another of Bobby Caldwell. Anna Ferrer transforms a traditional Armenian bread-making song into a contemporary choral anthem. And Ana De Llor, the London based, Lisbon born artist delivers with her debut track from 2020, a war hymn beaten into life by Portuguese frame drums, brooding bass lines and an unapologetic and unyielding choir of women.</p>
<p>And to close, two drum &amp; bass cuts. The first with British soul musician Natalie Duncan, and the second from gyrofield.</p>
<p>Plenty to dig into this week, enjoy.<br />

<p><em>Each week Mx Darkfloor soundtracks your morning, setting you up for the day. Drawing on many styles and genres. From deep drone, ambient, and dub, through to jazz, grunge, jungle, and breaks. There&#8217;s side quests into downtempo, trip-hop, and hip-hop. As well as approachable experimental sound, African rhythms, and Asian beats. To folk, no wave, shoegaze, psych, and fuzzy sludge. </em></p>
<p><em>The takeaway is you never know what they&#8217;ll play, but it&#8217;ll be day friendly, good music.</em></p>
