085 /
For our showcase session this week I’ve great pleasure in welcoming the machinations of Scott Robinson.

the SHOWCASE
Returning to production after a considerable break of 8 years, Scott Robinson is back in the studio. Prior to his break he was know for his involvement with London’s Ugly Funk night where he had a captive audience for his twisted techno alongside Subhead, Neil Landstrumm and Tobias Schmidt. He saw his work released through Cluster and Ugly Funk’s own imprint.

Following his return to the studio Scott has a new, ever growing fan base of listeners, mostly due to the work on his Soundcloud together with 2 releases for Russian-Techno (which is where we first heard him here at MANTIS).

Rather than produce single tracks with a clear beginning and end Scott approaches things differently. Recording long studio sessions where he feels the sounds are put into more context allowing him more control over the general feel of his set and where he can push the production technology to its limits, pushing his sound forward. Which is the point of techno after all as he sees it.

His music is an amalgamation of the many genres and styles of techno he has been through since he first started writing music back in ’89. You won’t find a set from him that stays at one level for an hour, rather it will be an adventurous journey thorough perversely dark, dirty shrill sounds and beats always marked with a unique twist of psychedelic off the cuff weirdness that verges on the mentally unstable end of the techno spectrum.

New work is coming out on Russian Techno in the next few weeks as part of the 3rd in the ongoing series of Expanding the Borders (where they look beyond Russian based artists). The first track featured in tonight’s showcase session will see release on our very own DRKFLR label later this year.

084 /
Coming up this week we’ve a producer, DJ and label owner I’ve been hankering for a while to get on the show. Digging deep and wide with an awesome exclusive showcase session is the one known as Lifecycle.

the SHOWCASE
Head of independent electro imprint Ricochet Records, Lifecycle has an ever growing reputation from his releases on Londonbreakz, Electrofly, Fluid and Looq for producing compelling records which are hard to categorise. Energy from last century’s rave scene is channelled into deep, dark, progressive electro.

Recent releases have been described by the press as ‘lavishly psychedelic‘, ‘invigoratingly intense‘, ‘on crack‘, ‘tensely unpredictable‘, ‘thinking man’s tear out‘ and ‘a growling, percussive carnival of a warehouse adventure‘.

A full live band is currently out on the road fleshing out new material with a sound that is equally hard to pin down, somewhere between progressive rock, tribal electro and jazz-tinged breakbeat, with a heavy emphasis on improvisation and interplay between each of the group.

Lifecycle has constructed a very special 3 deck mix for the show with new and exclusive bits from himself, Ion Driver and his latest signing to Ricochet: Bownr.

DRKFLR BOARDS
Earlier this year we opened the Darkfloor forum: a collection of message boards to discuss all things darkfloor electronica, together with other music both electronic and beyond, as well as events.

#1 INIGO KENNEDY / MANTIS 074

086 /
Yes, we’ve reached that milestone, in fact we very nearly overshot it. As old as we’re getting now we nearly forgot it was our birthday.

As we enter the 5th year of broadcasting the show, we celebrate with a retrospective look at the past years 22 broadcasts, including a run down and 20 minute excerpt from the top 3, most downloaded shows in the past year.

It’s been very close on the old statistics front with not very many separating them. I’ll also be rinsing through some of many tracks I’ve played over the past year, picking out some of my faves.

It is perhaps worth me mentioning that I try to deliver fresh music to each show, so very easily I misplace and genuinely forgot some of the quite awesome sound dropped over the past years archived broadcasts. All the shows (and the earlier 62 shows) are still available and will remain so. Which show was your favourite? Did you discover a great new producer from the show? If so, who? Let us know, I’d be very interested in who perked your interest.

As I say every year, a huge thank you to both the showcased guests and you the listeners. Thank you for your continued support. Here’s to another year!

Up this week we welcome to the showcase session an artist who has been at the electronica craft for a while. Dishing out an exclusive hardware session is none other that Global Goon.

the SHOWCASE
His first album Goon saw the light on Rephlex Records back in 1996 whilst he was sharing a house in London with Richard D. James (Aphex Twin), Tom Jenkinson (Squarepusher), Chris Jeffs (Cylob) and Grant Wilson-Claridge (who alongside James is responsible for Rephlex). Rumours abounded following his debut release that it was an alias for Aphex Twin, and this persisted still with his Cradle of History release 2 years later.

In the early part of the last decade Johnny left Rephlex to start his own label J-Hok Records where he has released several albums and EPs. I was pretty late to the game with Mr Goon only really getting into his sound after hearing last year’s Earwig album on Myuzyk. In a way to make amends I’ve great pleasure in welcoming his acid heavy electronica flexing to the show.

Up this week I’ve great pleasure in presenting Herd. An artist with a supreme ability for the deep sublime soundscape.

the SHOWCASE
Continuing in a similar vein to his Duck Eye Calm mix Herd returns with another 30 minute soundscape containing more of his ongoing Tangents series, which currently sits at close to 50 tracks.

This journey began on TheMixingbowl where productions pre Herd were uploaded for the members to offer feedback. This feedback helped develop the Herd sound and releases on netlabels FSOR (USA), Bumpfoot (Japan) and Entity (Belgium) followed. Radio exposure in the early days included the legendary Mary Anne Hobbs show for Radio One:

‘Deeply mysterious – this one’s for all the Murcof fans’ - Mary Anne Hobbs

as well as Rob Booth’s Electronic Explorations sixth show. This support waned in the following year leaving Herd time to refine his sound. Fast forward another year and Herd flippantly sends a demo link to The Future Sound of London’s Brian Dougans and is pleasantly surprised to receive a very short but positive reply. Nine frustrating months later – not long in FSOL time – and Tangents 41 – 47 is released on the Future Sound of Londons online label FSOLdigital.

‘Nothing more than an amazing (and very welcome) flashback to my favorite world of FSOL’ – Headphone Commute

Prepare for a beautiful journey into the world of Herd.

089 /
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.

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.

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.
