DECENNIUM26 - Stormfield (Combat Recordings)

The 26th edition of our DECENNIUM series comes courtesy of local mastermind; Stormfield. 

London based @stormfield is widely known for founding the reputable Electronica label; @combatrecordings in 2004. A formidable outfit in the London underground scene, with their distinguishable brand of fierce, bass heavy, glitchy electronics, Stormfield and Combat have had a long list of accomplishments since their inception. Their roster of artists includes some of the most elite artists in the world of IDM and Electronica such as Somatic Responses, Mick Harris (Scorn / Fret), Anodyne & more. Combat tracks have gained support from the likes of Surgeon and Rob Hall (Autechre) and have had consistent plays on established radio channels such as BBC Radio 1.

Stormfield started DJing in 1995, beginning his journey with Ambient and Electronica, then spending many years playing Jungle, before emerging with half-step and Electro, all the while avoiding typical 'four-to-the-floor' tracks. He has held radio residences on various stations such as Breaks FM, Sub FM, ill FM, Proton Radio, etc. and has done an array of bespoke DJ mixes for the likes of Electronic Explorations, Fabric (Houndstooth label mix), Boiler Room (Nothing New podcast series & Rob Booth’s Electronic Explorations), Rinse FM (Combat label showcase), Darkfloor, Subsekt blog, Null & Void, etc. 

As well as DJing, Stormfield performs live glitchy break-driven acid using a mixture of laptop and hardware, in a constantly changing setup. As a producer he has released on respected labels such as Section 27, Opal Tapes, Jarring Effects, etc. as well as his own Combat imprint. He has also remixed for the likes of Fret (Mick Harris), Mitoma & Weldroid and Killdren. Keep your eye out for his new double EP on the way this springtime, on Combat.

Stormfield is equally at home in the world of visuals, and has regularly performed live visuals for the likes of Mick Harris (Scorn / Fret), African Head Charge, UKAEA, Somatic Responses, Metalogue, Broken Note, Brainwash Glastonbury, Anodyne, Grave Miasma, Splice Festival London, Bangface Weekender, Katharsis festival (Amsterdam)and Crux (London).

His exclusive DECENNIUM mix is a snapshot of tunes currently in his head, typically taking broken, asymmetric audio fragments and piecing them into a strange yet cohesive whole. It bounces between moments of peak aggression to deep void to melancholic euphoria with tracks bass heavy, deeply syncopated, nodding at Acid, Autechre, Scorn and Jungle along the way.

No Static Automatic head honcho Ara-U steps in with 62 minutes of electro goodness! A good opportunity to practice your best popping and b-boy dance moves, for the upcoming post-lockdown rave season!

@ara_u

A chaotic figure, a poignant purpose and a tall history. 

Auditory hallucinations accompany the mind of a machinist and the wild ideas of a man from beyond.

The result of his work? A collection of stories - electronic tales with no beginning, middle or end. In an age of information, the very notion of the imagination seems strange. It lies unexplored and undefined.

For why should a man think when he can be told? It was such a notion which had lead to self exploration. Such a notion which had lead to an identification with the machines. Only here, had he found his reality. Not that of the conformist but something much, much more. Its soundtrack lay in waiting…

Deviate Guest Mix 008 - Stina

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.

Manchester-based Rhyval joins us, dropping an avalanche of bass music in this ~2h mix! A love letter to sub-bass frequencies, club crowds and long-closed venues...watch yer bass bins!

@rhyvalsound
@offbeatsound

Rhyval is a DJ, producer, and one third of Off Beat, the long running party and recently established record label. His forthcoming debut release ‘Footcell’ is the second issue on the Off Beat label, and draws from the rich musical history of the UK for its sonic architecture.

https://rhyval.bandcamp.com/album/footcell

“With this mix, I was aiming quite directly at the club, and the kind of atmosphere and mix of styles that we shoot for at an Off Beat event. As a result, whilst there’s some new cuts in here, there are also plenty of old faithfuls. Hopefully it gives a sense of what an Off Beat dance floor might be like, when we can finally return to one.”
