MANTIS 087 + GLOBAL GOON
Broadcasting from 20:00 GMT on Future Music

Up this week we welcome to the showcase session; Global Goon, who'll be laying down an exclusive hardware set.

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.
