098 /
Rolling into a new year, maybe our last if you listen to some of the conspiracy nuts and their fervour, tonight Mantis Radio returns to Future Music to broadcast our first show of 2012. With an exclusive session, Death Abyss will be illuminating with their dark mix for the showcase.

the showcase
We travel from flame to flame. Ruling from the shadows.
A mysterious production entity are Death Abyss. Signed to Birmingham imprint Rodz Konez and with 2 EPs already under their belt, November saw their long awaited debut longplayer for the label be released unto the world.

Rodz Konez artist roster already boasts some fine talent in the form of Makaton, Regis, Inigo Kennedy, The 65D Mavericks, Female, Paul Damage, Max Duley, Datamine, and Tomohiko Sagae. Death Abyss are despite their anonymity, keeping good company.

Back in November, Techno.FM had a discussion with Death Abyss.

As soon as someone tries to create “Techno” then immediately they are setting limitations for themselves. This is an artistic failure, to us anyway. Many people trying to make what they think “Techno” is supposed to sound like, based upon what is currently commercially successful, or en vogue. These people are not artists. If they do not create or contribute then maybe they should be destroyed. Cast out and left to rot.
Their album Dominate Through Will was one of my releases of 2011:

Eleven industrially powered, fractured granite slabs of broken techno, taking in the sonic sub force that some of the better, darker and deeper dubstep cuts have done over the past few years.

Gritty, distorted dank growling electronics assault you like a lazer guided sledgehammer. This is anti-sunshine sound for a mature audience; Come As A Reaper For Thus You Will Sow just one cut from an album of depth, space and thud.

I’d been waiting for this album for many months and when I finally heard it it exceeded my expectations by a mile. Darkfloor through and through.

Show 97. Show. Number. Ninety. Seven. And indeed our final show proper of 2011. This week we welcome back a producer who in the past 18 months has gone from a decade of hard, industrially edged broken techno to boogie funk. Welcome back to Mantis Radio; Brian Gibbs with Echo Park.

the showcase
As Gunjack, Brian graced our show back in early 2009 (with a double showcase session alongside New York’s Hellfire Machina). His sound has morphed quite dramatically from thundering hard, relentless techno into boogie funk, disco powered hip-hop beats. It’s something different yet again for us here at Mantis Radio and an upbeat send off for our final show of 2011.

2010 was a turbulent year for Brian. With an 8.8 magnitude earthquake his family and he had to content with at his home in Santiago de Chile in February, to August when he was hospitalised for weeks with ruptured internal organs and blood poisoning. Following a month long battle in hospital Brian finally got back to his studio and producing beats. His move from hard edged dark sound had already begun with his Dials Mavis and Marty McFly projects. Slowing down the tempos, bringing swing and space in and producing much less anger powered sound.

As Echo Park, Brian has found support with many, most notably Skream who has already released the much loved Fiber Optic single on his own Disfigured Dubs imprint with an album to follow early next year.

Currently in London for a few weeks to record more material for Disfigured, in between continuing studio sessions in Hammersmith and Hackney, Brian took time out to record an exclusive guest session for our show, which I present tonight.

We’ve showcased several artists from Ireland already this year; Spookhouse, Hoth System and Dublin bred now Berlin based Swarm Intelligence. Numerous tracks from a wealth of talented Irish producers have made the show, one in particular is this weeks showcase guest. Please welcome the superb Sunil Sharpe.

the showcase
One of Ireland’s most celebrated underground DJs, Sunil Sharpe has been Honing his turntable skills since the late 90s, taking to the clubs in late 2000. There he quickly gained a formidable reputation for his quick fire mixing and fast paced sets that were to be heard regularly at clubs across the country and Europe, including an early appearance at Berlin’s legendary Tresor Club in 2001.

Sunil’s popularity has gone beyond the techno scene too, and was further acknowledged this year when he won ‘Best DJ’ at the Irish Dance Music Awards. Sunil has been part of national radio station RTE 2FM’s ‘Late Night Sessions‘ team since 2006 and is also a DJ Techniques tutor at Bray Institute of Further Education, where he has taught since 2005.

Sunil’s many productions have appeared on labels including Tonewrecker, Bastardo Electrico, Labrynth, Mantrap, Takeover, Open Source and others.

His debut Tricaustic release, ‘Caustiphobic Pressure EP‘ (with Jon Hussey) came out on English imprint Komisch last month, while his own ‘BSR03‘ has just been released on another shadowy UK label, Black Sun Records.

Sunil next month appears alongside Ben Sims to remix the Mr Jones track ‘Armory‘, coming out on Heavy Reel. Meanwhile, following the fierce rave-injected 12″ from anodyne earlier this year, Sunil’s Earwiggle label will shortly release Steve Stoll’s first full 12″ in over five years: ‘Hyperrealism Part 3‘.

To say Sunil is busy is doing him a disservice, he’s beyond that. It’s been a journey getting him to record a session for us, though one we’re massively thankful to present tonight.

094 /
So we keep it on the Eastern side of Europe this week, following on from the Dutch techno mastery that was Bas Mooy to present a Baltic producer constantly pushing his sonic palette to its limit: oyaarss.

The Showcase
Latvian born and bred oyaarss describes his own music as “lullabies for decadent people“, mainly due to the subtle aftertaste of uneasiness it leaves.

Being a staunch admirer of dystopian novels, post/math-metal, contemporary minimalist music and obscene distortion, has all left a massive footprint in his music, and the only thing you will fail to find in his icy landscapes is a gentle summer breeze. In a very weird way, indeed, it works as a soothing lullaby praising all that is cold, uneasy and eerie, and the heavy industrial harshness is merely a side-effect.

The concept of this studio live-set was to build it entirely out of “remixes” and collaboration tracks by oyaarss, most of them unreleased. This contains remixes for industrial acts (Kaltlicht, Cloaks, Fausten), hardcore/metal bands (Amenra, Kingdom, Tesa), classical music composers (Peteris Vasks, Zbigniew Preisner), as well as other collaboration tracks featuring other artists/bands. However, as one could suspect, this is not going to be a relaxing journey to Bahama beach.

At the moment oyaarss is polishing his début album that will be released early next year on the UK label 3by3, curated by the heavyweight duo Cloaks. His latest digital release The Future Smiling Wryly is available for free download. If you want to catch him on stage, head to Brussels on December 2nd where he will be sharing the stage with Ancient Methods.

Following on from where Perc left us a few weeks ago we’ve huge pleasure in welcoming Bas Mooy to our humble show.

the SHOWCASE
Bas Mooy has been on our showcase shortlist for a while and I’ve little doubt his exclusive session for Mantis Radio is well worth the wait. Based in Rotterdam, since 1999 Bas has been leaving a trail of techno flavoured destruction for all to hear. Heavily influenced by his self-described industrial strength 24-7 city, his dark sound is a stable requirement of many of the world’s finest and respected DJs and clubs.

Together with Jeroen Liebregts of the brutally essential Radial in 2002 Bas opened the floodgates with Audio Assault, one of the go-to labels for industrial hard and dark techno. One year later the sub-label ARMS began its onslaught. Since then both the labels and Bas have consistently delivered.

Bas as a DJ has continues to perform around the world and is a regular at the Dutch Awakenings parties. As a producer his work is never out of favour and finds homes on labels Planet Rhythm, Roots, Fine Audio Recordings, Naked Lunch, Impact Mechanics, Submissions, Patterns, Blank Records together with his own imprints; Audio Assault and ARMS.

Recent releases include his Uniform of the Outsider EP and a joint EP with Exium: Untitled both on Planet Rhythm.

Forthcoming you can expect remixes for H229 on Nachtstrom Schallplatten, Dead Sound on Elektrax, Go Hiyama on Gynoid, and Mutate on Blank Code. He’s more original production work in the pipeline as well including releases for Luke Slater’s Mote Evolver, Perc Trac, Go Hiyama’s Blank, Gynoid, Audio Assault and an upcoming album on his new label Morderstwo. More details on that one soon.

A new CD is planned for March/April release in 2010 AND he’s working on a studio collaboration project with Darkfloor fave Dead Sound. A productive and prolific producer then.

Strap yourself in, it’s a proper ride this one.

092 /
Making a welcome return to the MANTIS radio show, this week Mad EP is back to dish up his trademark hip-hop infested beat work.

the SHOWCASE
Back in February 2010 Mad EP stepped up to the plate and unleashed a monstrous multi BPM and diverse genre mix exclusively for the show. This week he’s back with a fresh selection of ill sounds. If you’re unfamiliar with Matthew Peters aka Mad EP:

Mad EP is Matthew Peters, Iowa native (formerly based in New York, Chicago + Montreal) and recent UK transplant, with a vast and impressive background in electronic and classical music. Peters brings his talents to bear on Mad EP productions in such a way that the end results are diverse and unclassifiable, calmly defying expectations as he skims through every imaginable genre to reach the outer limits of a territory that is indisputably his own.

Peters has been making his own music, variously described as electronic, alternative hip-hop, breakbeat, avant jazz, classical, sample-mania, and consistently unpredictable, for the past ten years in various contexts. His performances have been experienced in clubs, squats, restaurants, art galleries, concert halls, roof tops, radio studios, theatres, and festivals all over North America and Europe. He has also joined the Sub.FM ranks, and has a monthly show called “Tasty Cyanide Radio” – which goes beyond dubstep & garage and features all bass-centric music. In under a year, his playlists have been hailed as uniquely creative and innovative, and have a cult following to match.

Peters is also the consummate collaborative musician. His releases are full of guest appearances by artists with a deep respect his unparalleled musicality: Shadow Huntaz, Puppetmastaz, Jason Forrest (aka Donna Summer), Math Head, Si Begg, Aaron Spectre, Mochipet, End, DJ Grandtheft, jazz trumpeter David Young, percussionist Bryce Beverlin II, and more. Venetian Snares + Leafcutter John both requested him to appear as a cellist on their albums and Peters is often in demand as a remixer, delivering unexpected, yet mind-blowing results.

A big guest this week in the shape of Ali Wells aka Perc who’ll be live from the Darkfloor HQ in south London.

the SHOWCASE
No doubt any of you with the merest of interest in techno will be aware of who Perc is. An internationally touring DJ and with his debut album Wicker and Steel and a string of on-point tracks behind him, an ever-growing force in production. He also heads up the label Perc Trax which in the past 2 years in my opinion has really found it’s voice delivering consistently high-grade techno workouts with work from Sawf, Forward Strategy group, Perc, Donor / Truss together with heavyweights like Samuli Kemppi guesting.

his rise to prominence has seen him releasing atmospheric drone and premium techno since 2002. It was pretty clear that he was headed for good things when James Holden supported one of his early demos. As usual, Holden wasn’t wrong.

It was in 2007 that things started to get really interesting for Perc as the influential Kompakt took notice releasing Up with a invite to remix DJ Hell’s Buttersäure landing on his lap shortly after. Serving up an industrially fortified techno remix produced yet more interest culminating in remix work for Beyer’s Drumcode and Trentemøller.

He’s played worldwide, from Mexico to Japan to the techno mecca that is Berlin’s Berghain.

Perc’s harddrive brims with tracks including his own productions and armfuls of tools. His sound? It’s a blend of the cream of current techno and choice selections from electronic music’s Birmingham and Detroit forefathers. When it comes to playing live Perc goes deep. He mixes purely his own productions both released and unreleased, reconfiguring them into driving sounds; drone becomes big room techno becomes broken-beat becomes groove. Perc creates DJ and live sets that are industrial landscapes optimized for the dance floor.

This week we head to Northern Ireland, Belfast in fact, to bring you the machine flexing production work of Hoth System.

the SHOWCASE
Birth name Tony McMurray; Hoth System has been on the Darkfloor radar for literally years, and it’s taken years to lock him down and get a production showcase that will illustrate just how good he can make techno sound. Every few weeks a new track appears and it cements itself as solid focused effort, so much so that I’m never without a few Hoth System cuts in my record box. Hoth has an EP coming out next month on our favourite Hungarian techno netlabel Audioexit and a track on Spain’s Benzel Label and their Conexion vinyl 12″ later this year.

We head to San Diego this week to bring you the dark and murky sounds of AAIMON.

the SHOWCASE
A male/female duo from Southern California; AAIMON defy their sunny locale in exchange for beautiful, grim and sometimes harsh occult soundscapes; with compositions built on anxiety and paranoia giving way to a heightened feverish sexuality and erotic ritualism.

Coming from an extremely wide set of influences, their music is its own unique blend of slow and menacing conjurations. Generally connected with the ‘drag‘ and ‘witchhouse‘ genres, AAIMON uses unconventional sound-design and tension within often pop oriented song structures to instill unnerving sensations.
