Primal rhythmic conceits. 

With a surging spatial strategy, ‘Flight to Cappadocia’ refers to the Turkish region known for vast underground cities. ‘Rite’ evokes a hypnotic and tense atmosphere where primordial forces act with impunity.

From ceremonial dirges to frantic rites, ‘Brutal Civilisation’ draws together ideas of humanity’s position within the vastness of time, questioning the nature of civilisation. 

thatboytim (Takeover Rec) and Rob Mac (Sonika) are the Interdimensional Drifters. Both have a long history in punk, post-rock, and noise rock, as well as techno, electronica.

Part 1 of 3.

Winter Solstice 2023

Brutal Civilisation - Part 2 is the second part of three.

Seismic, sludgy bass guitar riffs bring to bear on ‘Channelled Scablands’ in an evocation of the kind of geological events that occur on our planet - dwarfing humanity’s timeframe and scale of influence.

Drenching the progression and melodies in strained feedback and noise ‘Paintings On The Cave In Your Cranium’ pays tribute to the long ingrained artistic preferences of the Drifters, and to the themes and obsession constants of human history.

FFO : Godflesh, Joy Division, Killing Joke, Neurosis, Sonic Youth

Interdimensional Drifters - Brutal Civilisation, Pt. 2

Brutal Civilisation - Part 3 is third part of three.

Bringing an end to our trilogy of singles by Interdimensional Drifters, two slabs of prehistoric technoid rhythm code.

Repurposing a late 20th century pop music rhythm, 'Sundaland' drags it into the mist of time. The disembodied guitar scree and bolts of electrical static state the tone as the martial beat rolls on. Named after the lost landmass of Southeast Asia, a victim of forces far beyond those that humanity could claim.

'Whorl Music' relies on ever decreasing cycles of scavenged syncopations. Did Neanderthals know how to jack?

Mixes

Anatomically Correct - Influences. A mix by C Mantle. (@c-mantle)

Celebrating the release of the Scottish producer's new album - Anatomically Correct - Darkfloor invited Chris to record a mix of influences behind his  fantastic sonic interpretation of entropy.

Anatomically Correct: https://acrerecordings.bandcamp.com/album/anatomically-correct

"Shards of sonics crunch and swell as they flow over, through and at you. Step beats, booms, icy crystals and mischievous machines flex all the while."

His influences behind the album are varied. Some are direct as heard on certain tracks, like Autechre's 'bqbqbq'. Whilst others are tracks he was listening to, off and on, around the time of writing - WSR and Expressway Yo Yo Dieting. Other tracks are deeper influences, from much further back, like Boogie Down Productions and EOG.

Mantis Radio 337 - Inigo Kennedy

Based in Pittsburgh, Geoff @Cutups Maddock has been carving up sounds since the mid 90s. His name and styles comes out of an appreciation of the cut-ups technique of creation employed by the Dadaists, Brion Gysin and William S. Burroughs.

It's as he says "how it meshes into the wild, collage nature of sample-everything culture, both in music, the net and life in the late 20th century."

Maddock's mix for our In Session series is a darkside ride through outsider electronics and experimental sound. Electro meets glitch bass and precision drum percussion.
