072 /
Coming in hot this week is T-Polar. Coinciding with his new release on Acroplane Recordings: ‘Zero’ (review here) as well as another EP on the mighty Digital Distortions label not far behind that. A diverse producer of the electronic beats is this bloke, make no mistake. He’s in the showcase guest mix this week, for the 72nd MANTIS Radio broadcast.

the SHOWCASE
T-Polar has had a long journey through electronica of many shades, from the microhouse stylings of early releases on Takeover Recordings, Morris Audio, and Karloff, to more ambient fare as sitizen on Acroplane, to his gnarly, and at times woozy, post rave music on Nice&Nasty, Digital Distortions, WIDE, L2S, and again Takeover. Recent productions have found their way into sets from Surgeon, Rob Hall and Instra:mental.

He’s put together a very special mix exclusively for us, delving into his 7+ years of production to give up a retrospective of his work. Essential listening, even if we do say so ourselves.
