KERN
MANTIS:presents: KERN – Live at 6th Style Surfing Doubled Town Anniversary
It’s been a little while since we last had a MANTIS:presents: episode (our last was Gunjack back in May) so here we have our 10th. Directly following the frankly awesome showcase provided on the 44th MANTIS broadcast by Phonocake and Parmon (the label to which KERN is signed) we have a live set recorded back in April.

Based in Dresden, Germany; Kern is a recent discovery of mine and I was really impressed with his liveset release on the Phonocake label. Things being as they are I asked him to provide a mix for the show. He’s a member of the collective Idealfun and alongside the Kern name has 2 other alias: dk69 and One Day in Metropia. His list of influences goes a little bit like this: Aphex Twin, Autechre, Hia, Drexciya, Datatheif, Nautilis, The Orb, FSOL, Squarepusher, DMX Krew, b12, Biosphere, Massive Attack, Aux88, Venetian Snares, Dynamix II, Warp, Planet Mu, Underground Resistance, and more.
