Continuing the vein of the past few posts on this site (they being: ). This is yet another old but not forgotten bookmark that has been lurking away in my “darkfloor mixes” folder. From the Serbian Dekode comes a live radio mix of his from around about 8 months ago, or thereabouts. The only details [...]

Jerome’s back with a sick looking tracklist of bass heavy odd beat wonky techno rave that he does so well. Recently featured on MANTIS 047 he put together this set for the Brazilian radio show Vector Radio. Which oddly is hosted by the techno producer Vector Commander, of whom has also been [...]

Jerome Hill started DJing in 1990 and since his first residency on the infamous 90’s soundsystem ‘JIBA‘, playing illegal warehouse parties across London and the UK he has bought his own unique take on electronic dance music to world renown hotspots including Tresor (Berlin), House of God (Birmingham), Eurobeat 2000 (London), Circuito (Sao Paulo) and Glade Festival (UK); is resident at UglyFunk and BLOC Weekend and co runs ‘Swerved‘ in London.

Episode 8 of our MANTIS:presents: series and providing the mix we have the Leeds based Horror Brawl.

Horror Brawl is one part Bushby (who we showcased way back on the 11th show), and one part nEiL_M, joint owners of the killer labels Digital Distortions and Limetree.

Can you believe MANTIS is now 1 year old. MANTIS started last May and was a 3 hour monthly show, now we’re a bi-weekly 2hour show and we’re showing no signs of slowing down. It has been a wicked year for us and I am most proud to have been producing such a well received show. We’ve had some seriously amazing showcases from all over the electronic music scene. Each with a leaning to the darker, deeper sounds. A massive thanks to all who have listened in, downloaded, podcasted, sent us abuse through the forums and all those silent listeners. An even bigger thanks to all of the 16 showcased artists, producers and DJs we’ve been so lucky in providing you guys with. Please show your support by keeping these artists in work by buying their tunes and seeing them perform.

Our 2nd broadcast of February and after the fierce onslaught that was DYthLAN last time, MANTIS011 slows the tempo down a touch and delves into the musical prowess that is John Bushby and his co-owned label, Digital Distortions.

Mad-Tek consists of Gyu and Globe Rotter, [Guy and Joby] both part of the Bristol based Dissident crew. They’re not really traditional musicians but they like to perform their music live and get involved in it on stage. In the past this meant carrying the whole studio out on stage but they’ve not been able to resist the move towards the much more portable laptops now. Lately DJing together has become an interest, mixing up breaks, techno, wonky minimal and anything else that fits.

Oh my good god. We only had Si Begg provide us with a fucking excellent eclectic exclusive mix didn’t we. Sweet jesus. Massive massive respect and love to the Noodles main man, Si. Loads of very positive response (surprise surprise) to that.
