For the 4th MANTIS:presents: we’ve dug into the archives of the Mad-Tek boys. Gyu and Globe Rotter. Comprising of some great electro and breaks as well as their first few productions. The boys provided our 7th showcase and not so long ago followed up their great first release, False Flag EP, with the Hold It Together release.

Being that we broadcast this show on Valentine’s day, we have a bit of massacre for you. Not one, but 2 showcases on offer, courtesy of Gunjack and Hellfire Machina.

Enough Records is a genre-less netlabel from Portugal, funded in 2001 out of a pirate netradio experiment. Enoughradio died out but the netlabel carried on releasing material ranging from the laidback postrock indie pop electronica idm to the harsh electro rock industrial noise with plenty of ambient in between.

The label is curated by the hands of Filipe ‘ps’ Cruz, equally responsible for this showcase of what can be heard within Enough Records.

I was asked a few months back to provide a mix for the great Resonance FM show, Marvin Suicide. The show has been running for 181 episodes (and counting) and features only netaudio music. That is music that is freely and legally available from the internet.

Filth merchant King Cannibal has made available his latest radio mix.

From the man himself:

The mix was put together for Combat Recordings Riddim n Bruise show on SubFM and was aired early Jan 09. This mix is one of my favourites in a long while and was put together with the intention of justifying buying records that although i love rarely listen to or playout – at least i’m using them in a mix.

So here we have our 3rd MANTIS presents. Coming quite fittingly from our 3rd showcased DJ: Mr Seavers. He was on the show back in mid 2007 and did a storming set live in the studio. We’ve remained good mates since. He helped host the 4th show and around December 2007 we decided to occasionally perform together as CONFOUNDED.

Following on from Stormfield’s awesome Anger Finds A Way; for the next episode of MANTIS presents, MANTIS presents the grand production talent that is Ion Driver. Recently showcased back on MANTIS 019, he has a brand new EP coming out on the 19th September: “033? released on the fucking awesome label Digital Distortions. Review here.

What we have is a short 20 minute promotion mix that really shows off the immense production talents of Ion Driver. I’m sure you’ll agree his production style is unique.

So please enjoy this deep, glitched out wonderland of sound.

In the first of many, the MANTIS podcast offers up a brand new studio mix from the one and only Stormfield. Some of you should remember him from the first MANTIS broadcast back in May 2007.

Horror Brawl is one half Bushby (who we showcased way back on the 11th show), and one half nEiL_M, owners of the killer label Digital Distortions.

This is a recent liveset of theirs tearing up the darkfloor of Leeds.
