Those in the know will already be aware that on top of running all things MANTIS and darkfloor electronica, I co-run the music label midnightminustwo, with a great producer Clodhoppa. On last week’s radio show, OG was our guest and it was so timed as to celebrate his début release with us at mmii.

Here then is our most recent newsletter:

MANTIS 049 + OG

Up this week, coinciding with his debut EP release on midnightminustwo: OG

OG first picked up on production when he was 16, within a year of buying his first set of turntables. Staying up until stupid o’clock on schoolnights listening to loops and beats for hours on end honed his production style. Inspired primarily by the works of Hybrid, BT and Way Out West, it was the discovery of breakbeat that really fuelled him to find his way in music.

Picking up influences from dubstep, breaks and drum & bass whilst never losing that trancey edge, OG’s first EP is out on midnightminustwo recordings on October 16th and the follow-up is in the works.

OG also co-hosts the bi-weekly No Skool Breaks show with Harka on NSB Radio – playing a variety of breaks, dubstep, drum & bass and techno.
