His mix moves from downtempo dubby vibes through 4×4 dancefloor materials right through to balls out breakcore, and features tracks from Volitune, T-Toe, Steinvord, Untrkmind and many more.

    In addition, we’ve a competition to win a CD and T-Shirt combo of Addison Groove’s ‘Transistor Rhythm’ LP, plus new music from Coppe, Phon.o, Roughquest, Kamikaze Space Programme, Hurtdeer and many more.

    Our guest mix this week comes from Machine Gun Militia, a Nottingham-based crew that just released the fantastic ‘Open Fire’ EP on Oeuvre records. The four tracks within are perfect examples of skeletal, noir-ridden dubstep, and their mix expands beyond that, twisting and evolving over 40 minutes and featuring tunes from Persons Unknown, Vex’d, eLan and more. Quite possibly a name you’ll be seeing more of soon.

    Add to that, new music from Mrs Jynx, Scuba, Steinvord, Radioactive Man, NCQL, Strago & Snooks, Gareth Clarke, Macka, Downstate, and more.

From their first EP on Replhex back in 1996 through to their most recent LP for 030303 in 2010, they’ve continued to astound critics and listeners alike, and have very kindly given us permission to air a live set recorded at Moog in Barcelona a couple of months ago.

    In addition, we’ve new music from Hurtdeer, The Flashbulb, Mark Archer, Rave Wars, Memotone, Lodsb, Venetian Snares, Patscan, Kappah, and many, many more

  • TONIGHT – The Centrifuge Radio Show – minimix from Tim Reaper for Amen Warfare (DSCI4)


    DSCI4 have been one of the most seminal DnB labels of the last 10 years, and will sadly be shutting up shop in the near future. However, they’ll be going out with a bang with their final release, the ‘Amen Warfare’ compilation, featuring amen-based tracks from a huge range of producers. To celebrate this, Tim Reaper has put together a 15m minimix of tracks from the album, and you get a chance to listen to them all on this week’s show.

    In addition, we’ve new music from Debasser, Lifecycle, Mad EP & Shadowhuntaz, AAIMON, Valance Drakes and many more.

Originally recorded to celebrate their appearance at this year’s MUTEK festival, and featured as part of FACT Magazine’s podcast series, the secretive Berlin duo are back after two years away, and combine 90’s jungle, skeletal dubstep, IDM flavours, and a little bit of Arvo Pärt into 35m of utter ingenuity, and we’re glad to be able to feature them on the show.

    More Infos:

    CURSOR MINER is the avant pop anti-hero who continues to confound expectations, sport outlandish costumes and shatter genre preconceptions with his barnstorming live show. His last album on Uncharted Audio was a veritable tour de force straddling the line between perfectly crafted vocal pop and cerebral dancefloor electronics. Having torn the roof down at The Centrifuge’s 3rd Birthday Party in Berlin last year we are delighted to welcome him back for a romp in his home territory.

    Did DEBASSER really start the whole UK bass scene? You better believe it, when his critically-acclaimed release on NovaMute “Fat Girls” came out it caused a ruckus and endless inspirants, imitations and countless sub-genres. Having just released a new single “The Tingler” on his own WIDE Records, this is his first live outing for The Centrifuge and the excitement is already building to hear those basslines on that PA.

    Electro-pop noizenik RIVAL CONSOLES has just released his landmark 2nd album on Erased Tapes Records with an innovative viral campaign seeing each track released separately over a number of weeks. Now the album’s out! Listen, enjoy, then come and rave.

    VAETXH is a fast-rising star of bass and glitch. Having been discovered by The Centrifuge in 2010, his heady mix of laser-precision audio manipulation and body-spasmic bass frequency workouts is winning him fans across the globe. Not least record label bosses, who are queuing up to sign him. Come hear (and feel) what all the fuss is about!

    GARETH CLARKE is a master of melody like no other. Combining compositional virtuosity with dancefloor sensibility it’s no wonder why he is harbouring an impressive and growing legion of admirers comprised of the great and the good of forward-thinking electronic music.

    United by the recent tragic events in Japan, The Centrifuge & Splutter team up once again to host an evening of altruism and cutting-edge music in the newly refurbished Islington Metal Works (aka Elektrowerkz). We’ve assembled a world-class lineup of musicians and artists to help us raise as much for charity as possible. 100% of the profits will go to Peace Winds who are providing aid and relief to the people most affected by the crisis.

    We’re also holding a raffle prize draw, with exactly the kind of exclusive treats which money can’t buy, so you’ll want to bring a few extra pennies along!

    Electronic music legend and “Jimi Hendrix of the TB-303” MIKE DRED aka THE KOSMIK KOMMANDO is heading up the lineup – check R&S, Rephlex and his own Machine Codes imprint to explore his expansive back catalogue. Resurgent drum’n’bass experimentalists ICARUS touch down for a rare London show, having recently remixed Caribou and Eclectic Method and ready to embark on a European tour this spring. LUKE’S ANGER promises to deliver his patented blend of rave-fuelled analogue techno whilst MONSTER X, POINT B and SCHEME BOY are geared up to pump out their own unique flavours of broken beats, bass and bleeps.

    In the courtyard The Centrifuge and Splutter DJs and friends are on hand to fill the room with their latest sonic treats and we’re also pleased to announce that infamous street artist STIK is involved – known for his endearing humanoid stick characters which are seemingly endemic around London streets and art happenings.
