MANTIS 036 with GALAXIAN / 25APR09 on BRAP.FM

[DVNT]

LOCK ON 25 April 2009 from 6PM GMT
Winamp / Windows Media Player / iTunes / Brap.FM Chatroom

As we approach the anniversary of broadcasing MANTIS for 2 years and reflecting on all the great showcases so far provided we have another sterling selection to add to that ever growing list from the Glasgow based producer Galaxian.

SHOWCASE
Galaxian has been making music on and off for roughly 12 years. Within the last year and a half he has been producing electro style beats and during that time has knocked up a few releases on a number of different labels.

His influences come more from Techno and IDM styles than your more traditional electro. This results in his electro having a different flavour from what you’ve come to expect in that style. He is constantly striving to being new ideas and sounds to his productions whilst maintaining that strong sense of danceability. It’s also got to always be fresh and funky he says.

His showcase for MANTIS combines some 221 layers/tracks of sound with him estimating 75% of the set being made exclusively for MANTIS. Of which I’m honoured.

With forthcoming releases on Z-Bop and Solar One Music and more, this man’s music is something you need in your life.

REST OF DA SHOW
Usual business, with yours truly, DVNT, selecting up fresh and forthcoming beats vs current faves and old gems. Including some exclusive plays of brand new Jay Pace, the new one from techno label Limetree and Berlin’s Furioso.
