entanglement album was a turning point for music

This is a track I wanted to release for my fans.  I will be releasing it more "Officially" on an album soon.  It was made for a friend who passed away, and also during a time of extreme challenge in my life.  It reminds me to never stop holding on to life for as long as im here.  <3

Holding On

When my thirst for life is hindered by the built-up layers of protection, the fabrication of an illusive self decaying at an ever increasing rate, the chances of being happy become thin. No matter how beautiful, safe and sweet my days may look like, my shattered being is longing to be whole. As I worn myself out for a long time, the wounded being resting underneath the surface started banging on the door, gasping for air, in an attempt to be heard, to be accepted and step into the light without fear, to love and be loved. 

I am brewing my own recipe for happiness; a little of bit of joy, a little bit of sorrow, a pinch of madness, sprinkled with humour.
In the end, I don't want to take myself too seriously. So here it goes, a new album with its quirks, tasty sounds and sweet grooves. I hope you enjoy it !

This is the second track from my new album ✨Memory Trails✨
(You can find the whole album on Bandcamp)

This tune is more bass oriented, I tried to create a light dreamy vibe but at the same time to keep it also bass heavy, I like this contrast.
It was mostly done while I was staying in Portugal, and was finalized in North California. 

I usually find it hard to name tunes, when u start a project and the session is done u need to save it and give it a name, so I usually go with the most intuitive thought that comes up after that first session, it might be a certain vibe or energy or a specific feeling during that session.
So this temporary, intuitive title usually is the seed for the final title, in this case it stayed all the way from the initial session until the end.
One of the official meanings of ‘Junk’ is ‘old or discarded material that considered useless or of little value’, a lot of ‘modern’ electronic music is sample based, most of the beats and many other elements are samples that being resampled, reused, processed, than resampled again and again, so if u hear the initial sample it might sound like ‘junk’ but after this resampling process it evolves and becomes something new, hopefully something with value, hence ‘BeatJunx’ :::)

Drawing from years of sonic exploration and shaped by travels across the globe, 'Memory Trails' marks a pivotal moment in MantisMash’s musical evolution. Known for his vibrant fusion of dubwise traditions, fluid psychedelia, and high-resolution sound design, he has honed his distinctive sound through extensive studio experimentation and live performances — earning his place in the global psychedelic bass scene as both an innovator and a crowd-moving force.

Blending lush psydub atmospheres with nods to classic dub, breakbeat, and drum & bass, 'Memory Trails' offers a vivid and expansive experience firmly tuned to the modern dance floor. Surging basslines, shimmering textures, and finely-tuned rhythms flow seamlessly across the album's nine tracks, balancing technical precision with MantisMash's signature sense of play. From the organic warmth of "Echofluid" and saturated echoes of "Behind the Thunder," to the deep DnB grooves of "BeatJunx" and "Reflekt," the album pushes the boundaries of psychedelic bass music while remaining deeply connected to its roots.

Richly detailed and alive with a sense of movement, 'Memory Trails' signals the next chapter in a journey shaped by travel, performance, and the ever-shifting landscapes of the musical world.

The fourth track from my new album 'Memory Trails' ✨

I started this tune after I came back to Portugal from the US almost a year ago, I played at Tipper & Friends Rendezvous (Suwannee), Infrasound Ferstival and The Black Box, this little tour sparked a lot of inspiration and was absolute 🔥. I landed just a day before my birthday, as a present from my friends there I got a ‘Micro Freak’ synthesizer which is a super fun little synth made by Arturia. I started playing around and made this dreamy sequence on the Micro Freak and this is how this tune started, with inspiration from my journey in the US infused with lots of Bassy vibes.

Psychedelic Jelly is a collective of downtempo psychedelic musical acts, based in Bristol they've been pushing a fun flavourful ride through alternative, underground and psychedelic infused downtempo and midtempo. I'm excited to contribute a track called "Cleave the aether", I'm not entirely sure where I got the line for the sample from, possibly Dante? If anyone recognises it please shout! 

Grab the whole compilation here: https://psychedelicjelly.bandcamp.com/album/nomura

Loving all the tracks, really well rounded compilation! Congrats to all the artists and the team at Psychedelic Jelly for putting this all together!

"Psychedelic Jelly presents the latest compilation "Nomura" spanning from downtempo glitch and psybass up to bouncy midtempo. Nomura is a reference to the Nomura jellyfish which is one of the heaviest jellyfish known to man. Likewise this is the heaviest album we have released so far!"

Cleave The Aether (Out Now On Psychedelic Jelly Compilation)

Circuit Bent were manufactured inside the bowels of a top secret laboratory for the purpose of being super soldiers hell bent on world domination. After the mad scientists realized the true nature of the monsters they had created they tried to destroy the foul creatures they had spawned but were overwhelmed by the sonic insanity and bled to death from their ears. To this day the location of Circuit Bent is unknown, but their presence on the internet is evidence that the world is still not safe from the global menace lurking around the corner.
