Featured Guest

Marking his debut EP release Omnia on our own label Darkfloor Sound, this week we welcome back Stefan Leßner – Ezuri. His first appearance on the show was in March 2017 for show 224 where he delivered a deep dive mix informing on the sounds that influenced Voitax – the German dark techno / industrial / electro label he cofounded with Paàl.

Today’s guest mix builds on that foundation and presents some of his favourite tracks and artists, with a mix that breezes in on a light ambient drone tip into heady drumwork, EBM and industrial shades, to electro ending on one the greatest soundtracks in the world, in both his (and my) opinion. We’re both fans of the show. Which honestly is one of the greatest.

Leßner other project Less explores ambient, house, electro and techno styles, and last years Stranger is the start.

Marking his EP Omnia EP Ezuri returns to Mantis. Being show 313 Mike plays tribute to Detroit w/ trax by Moodymann, Stooges, Mills, Dilla, ADULT, Bone, Ritual Howls, Danny Brown, The Black Dahlia Murder, and Funkadelic.
