Mantis 10

Man/ipulate starts with ‘Dimension’ a perfect gem filled with swinging rhythms, followed by ‘1st Date’, which is definitely to look forward to. On the flip-side comes ‘Watatsumi’, an absolute charm as if it were controlling the sea’s movement from calm to storm. To end things in beauty, ‘Make It Sweat’ literally speaks for itself, a powerful punchy track delivering the dragon’s message from his underwater palace.

A multi-system conglomerate servicing planets within the Orion Arm of the Milky Way, TerraFirm provides the desiccated, toxified, irradiated or otherwise uninhabitable planets of this sector with a suite of services to rectify any environmental challenge. From geoformation to carbon extraction, desalination to biome rehabilitation, TerraFirm has a full range of services to return your planet to its naturally thriving, pre-apocalypse state.Planets are gigantic circuits, emitting electromagnetic fields that extend into space, protecting against the fields of other cosmic bodies. A planet’s field is integral in the creation, evolution and nourishment of life. Life evolves with the field’s specific vibrational frequency in the same way it evolves with oxygen or water. Distort or remove the frequency and life will cease. Planetary fields are extremely resilient as they originate in the depths of the planet’s core. However, they can be disrupted by the intrusion of competing vibrations to the detriment of all life. Pre-apocalypse civilizations created electromagnetic fields and nuclear wastes that distort the planets natural frequency. Geolectrics will identify areas of vibrational distortion, deploy technologies to harmonize harmful frequencies and increase the amplitude of your planet’s natural frequency via harmonic resonance.

From a shared love of electronica, aquatic techno funk and tribal rhythms comes this collaboration.Raw electronics and warm analogue sounds flow and almost breath with life as synths spray atmosphere over washed out stabs which swing from one note to the next.Layered effects sit alongside glitches and heavily distorted breaks perfectly suited for the rumbling subwoofers of soundsytems.Written by Mat Carter & Keith Tenniswood at The Cube

Can you hear the hoofs? For their first Various Artist Compilation, Espace Noir is proud to bring to its stables some of the most daring riders in the scene. All the way from Canada come Unknown Mobile and Maara. They join Melbourne (Naarm) favourites Mabel and Reflex Blue. The result? Stomping 303 lines, spaced out vocals and punching breaks that might just knock you off your saddle. Giddy up cowboy, these equine beauties are gonna take you for a real gallop.

Due to a misspress, this reference has the wrong B-side: the track Mantis Religiosa from the same artist appears instead of Rotom.
