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'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. The takeaway is you never know what they'll play, but it'll be day friendly, good music.

Off Yer Xmas Cake Full 2 Hour Mix (Part 1 & 2)

Liverpool vände (?) skutan och tog en viktig trea borta mot West Ham. Men hur mycket har egentligen förändrats? Och hur mycket kan man ens läsa in av segern? Salah bänkades i 90 minuter och betyder det att Liverpool nu är bättre utan honom? Och hur snabbt kan situationen eskalera om han sätts åt sidan även resterande matcher denna vecka? Vi njuter såklart av en trepoängare, men manar till att the jury is still out vad gäller om vi är på rätt väg redan eller inte... 

LFC Podden, Säsong 13 (Vol 23) - Situation Salah

Black Sheep - 369

excusive | Brent - Space Cadet | Zuku

With “Space Cadet”, the B1 cut on Brent’s new EP "Return To Cookie Mountain" for Liverpool imprint Zuku, the Scouse producer delivers a hybrid weapon that sits right on the thrilling edge between club functionality and pop-leaning immediacy - without ever tipping too far into glossy territory. If the A-side lays out the framework, “Space Cadet” ignites the B-side with confidence, setting a decisive tone for what follows.

Built around a punchy Electro bassline that grabs instantly, the track snaps into motion with the kind of low-end propulsion that feels engineered for late-night physicality. Sitting brightly on top is a sticky, earworm synth theme, the type that burrows into memory after one play and returns uninvited hours later - proof of Brent’s instinct for crafting hooks without sacrificing underground grit.

The vocal touches land like flickers of neon: playful and spaced just enough to spark interest without overstating their role. It’s these details that give “Space Cadet” its charm - that sense of magic dust sprinkled across a sturdy rhythmic core. The groove cruises forward with aerodynamic flow, always building momentum, never losing its grip.

"Space Cadet" flirts with pop sensibility - bright tones, clean structure, big personality - but its attitude remains firmly aimed at the dancefloor, shaping a tool DJs can deploy for uplift without cheesiness. It’s fun, it’s infectious, and it’s crafted with the refined ear of a producer steeped in dance history rather than trend-chasing shortcuts.

As the opener to the B-side, the track lifts the record into a new gear and underlines why Brent sits at the center of Liverpool’s current wave: a producer unafraid to blend accessibility with underground muscle. A fantastic cut, and undoubtedly one of the EP’s most instant crowd-pullers.

Pure club gold.
