In 2005, the Wu-Tang released Wu-Tang Meets The Indie Culture Vol. 1, and MANTIS are ecstatic to have an exclusive mix of the follow up Wu-Tang Meets The Indie Culture Vol. 2: Enter The Dubstep. Headed up by previous MANTIS guests, Hellfire Machina, this release is huge.
As Vol. 1 sought to introduce hip-hop fans in general, and specifically, the famously large, loyal and diverse fan-base of the Wu-Tang to the burgeoning world of underground hip-hop, so Vol. 2 seeks to expose another untapped resource of underground talent, skill and artistry to this very same avid and intrepid fan-base.
The project serves a double purpose as well: many of the pioneers and practitioners (DJ’s and producers) in the Dubstep world came up in a time when Wu-Tang ruled the international airwaves. Unlike much commercial hip-hop, the immediacy of Wu-Tang’s sound spoke to many outside of the scope of the typical hip-hop fan, across oceans and at home. Their music and style helped to shape an emerging artform that hadn’t yet defined itself. Now, in 2009, as dubstep continues to grow, expand and encompass more styles and subgenres, the Wu-Tang sound is reintroduced into the mix, to spawn a new and unique musical crossbreeding, that is greater than the sum of its constituent parts.

Paul Acroplane aka DJ Acroplane Recordings has been knocking about Ireland djing at clubs, festivals and free parties for about 10 years, having played alongside artists as diverse as Autechre, Scorn, Si Begg, Clark, Boxcutter, Luke Vibert, DJ/Rupture, Surgeon, King Cannibal, Kevin Saunderson, Ebola, Yee-King, Remarc, Aaron Spectre and Bong-Ra, to name but a few. He was the main man behind Belfast’s now legendary Diston events, and now heads up the city’s Acroplane Movement shows in venues of all shapes and sizes.
Not content with that Paul started up Acroplane Recordings, a free netlabel hosting music from the likes of Boxcutter, Somatic Responses, Chevron, Mothboy, Mad EP, Ebola, Igorrr, Space Dimension Controller, Lackluster, wAgAwAgA, Red Box Recorder and Vertical67, among dozens of others. Acroplane Recordings has a diverse selection of sound on offer on the label, providing consistently high quality releases to rival any of what the big boy electronic labels can offer. For free. You cannot argue with that.

We started broadcasting MANTIS in May 2007 and this for this show, we celebrate the past year, our second, of broadcast by selecting the top 5 most downloaded of the shows broadcast in the past year.
A massive thank you to all the artists who have provided the music and the showcases for the shows. Each and every showcase has blown me away and it has been an honour to share this music with the MANTIS audience.
Of which, without you, the listeners, there isn’t much of a show. So a huge thank you to our listeners, you.

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.
