midnightminustwo label mate and good friend Clodhoppa just finished this mix (I’m in the mix swap he mentions, but as yet haven’t even started my mix).

Bit of a rare one this. An acid techno set from Chris Liberator from way back in ‘95, some 14 years ago. Still sounds as fresh now as it did then.

Came across this rather tidy mix by a guy known as G-Bo. I’ve got one of his older mixes too (which I’ll dig out and put on here). I don’t know much about the guy other than being based in Belfast. What I do know is he has some great taste in tunes and mixes [...]

As usual these are in no particular order, other than alphabetical, but all have been featured in my sets both on air with MANTIS and during my DJ sets. Check the label links for info on each.

It’s another MANTIS:presents:, our 11th. And providing the mix is our 6th showcased artist and DJ: Hoffman.
