My guest this month is iMantus (aka Psykhomantus) - the original bruk beat turntablist. His productions with Reon Vanger have been setting the broken beat scene alight. Their Bruk Refresh'd EP was one of my favourite records of 2024 and they've just released their follow up, the New Bruk Sun EP. Steffi and I spoke to Mantus about his creative partnership with Reon, his memories of the original broken beat generation and his love for hip-hop, before we handed over the decks for a special guest mix, where he showcased his unbelievable turntablist skills.
