SUPPORT: M4L-FunCt10n’D – Black Robots EP
The brilliant Black Robots EP by M4L-FunCt10n’D (Malfunctioned) has been released to raise funds for the Starlight Children’s Foundation.
RECOMMENDED: Sendai – Geotope [Time To Express]
The new future being played out for us on Sendai’s album Geotope speaks only of a time after decay, after erosion, even after echoes are finally fading.
MIX: Baeks (Ancient Methods) – Wintertechno
Being half of the mighty Ancient Methods, Baeks is a man who knows his techno.
MIX: Bufo – You’re What You’re I & II
I’ve written about Bufo just the once before, back in November 2010, highlighting his Industricity Session no.29 mix.
MIX: Jerome Hill – Live at Suicide Circus, Berlin 23/03/2012
Whilst many DJs can lay claim to playing a ‘banging’ set, dropping their bass heavy trusted dancefloor bombs and hold the session together with some slapdash mixing; maybe a few of them will even use some EQ and the crossfader, few, in fact just one, can claim to be Jerome Hill.
HEADS UP: Death Abyss + Girls Revenge – Voudou Nation [Rodz Konez]
If you’re a regular listener of Mantis Radio, I hope you are, then back in January you’ll have been blown away, as we were at Darkfloor Towers, when Death Abyss delivered one of our best sessions yet on the show.
RECOMMENDED: Production Unit – ICU Tracks EP [Broken20]
For me, Techno always has and always will be conceptual.
RECOMMENDED: Villain – Escapade [Singularity Recordings]
In an ever saturated market of music it takes quite the talent to make you sit up and take notice; Villain‘s album for London based digital imprint Singularity Recordings does just that.
DOWNLOAD: Robert Pain – Escape Attempts
I’ve written about Croatia’s Robert Pain before and you can rest assured I’ll write about him again. I first noticed him last year with his immense Black Queen debut and its follow up; the Inquistion EP for the Czech Republic’s Transporta.
DOWNLOAD: Various Artists – Axon EP [Cicuta Netlabel]
Since coming into existence last year and picking up from where the now retired purveyors of techno netaudio Offaudio and Antiritmo took us, Madrid based Cicuta Netlabel is firmly entrenching itself as a go to label for multi textured techno.
