Listen back to the July edition of our Melodic Distraction radio residency.

This month in amongst all the usual high grade tracks, I chat to Irish producer and DJ thatboytim. Label boss of Takeover Recordings, Tim Smyth has been a friend of Mantis Radio since the early days, and very quickly a close friend when he moved to London in the late 2000s. These days he and his family are back in Ireland, but we chat often and I’ve been playing with the idea of short chats on my radio shows. So, consider our chat today a work in progress.

Also on the show, music from Mandy Indiana (seriously one of the best albums of the year), Katatonic Silentio, Cormac, DJ Slip, E-Dancer, Temudo, Karenn, Ten Years Lost, Orlando Voorn, and Godflesh. Before taking an unexpected swerve into a minimal drum & bass flex in hour two.
