Amid circulating rumours of bizarre yogi led ceremonies and the creation of human channels for cosmic wisdom, little has yet been revealed about the mysterious music project known simply as “Dance Cult”.

The charismatic leaders at the heart of this clandestine house act, Ben “Benson” O’Connor and Michael “Mike Metro” Mitropoulos account to followers to have received revelations directly from alien ‘dancing’ angels encouraging them to go forth and create an underground church in praise of jackin’ grooves and deep bass-lines.

Deriving inspiration from illuminati, techno gurus and preachers of the occult alike and armed with a secret knowledge of making people move, Dance Cult claim amazing powers to resurrect dance-floors via the healing energy of heavy bass frequencies and dusty house beats. The Dance Cult sonic palate plays out like a séance deep in club somewhere inside a forest but staged in a penthouse at the Chateau Marmont - where ‘healing grooves’ and ‘cosmic future bangers’ combine to create a unique sensory experience - like Champagne and Popcorn, Mango and Chilli, Ferrari and Red – they give life to your eardrums. 

It’s a prophecy realized in their music. Debut Dance Cult EP has been recorded in secrecy at a commune in LA’s Hollywood Hills in between rituals at Griffith Observatory and late night sex parties at the infamous Biltmore Hotel.

Dance Cult arrive for 2015 with a mission to put the “Cult” back into dance “Culture” and this simple message: ‘Worship at the alter of bass-line. Sacrifice yourself up to the groove. Paradise awaits those who dance.’

Hi, my name is Mandragora, I am a time traveller from 1354, while I was looking for weeds in the forest I fell into a wormhole, I traveled through infinite alternate realities for like a year, after I got bored of all that cosmic stuff I decided to camp on year 2012, then I found this weird music making box and I knew something big was coming.

Mandragora prefers to keep his name out of the light and go by the name of
“Neto”, hence the username @holasoyneto on most of his social networks.
Apparently born in the desert city of Chihuahua, located in the north of
Mexico, it was in this place where he decided to fully go into music,
enrolling at the local Conservatory but quickly dropped out to pursue a career
in music production.
While still studying in the Conservatory of Chihuahua he had access to a
computer lab which had GarageBand installed, he rapidly realised the
possibilities of digital versus paper. One day one of his classmates listened
to one of his compositions and said, “Hey, Neto, that sounds like Goa music,
you should play it at the local raves.”
Not long after being introduced to the local rave scene, he started promoting
different kinds of events for different kinds of audience, this served to
create a local community to introduce the “Mandragora” project to the world,
inspired by the local rave scene and the hip-hop ethos.
Having this school of thought led him to create “#futureprog” a sub-genre of
Goa trance based on the idea of ever evolving music, of trying to predict the
future, right now #futureprog is produced and played by many artists big and
small throughout the entire world.
This creation led him to move to Brazil for 6 years to join forces with Alien
Records, releasing several albums and successful singles, performing at
legendary festivals, inspiring a whole new scene of producers and partygoers
worldwide.
At the moment Neto is based in the south of France locked in the studio
creating hundreds of tracks, just released a new mini album and is back on the
road, always on tour, always getting those new tracks mastered and ready to be introduced to the world.

16 Years of age.
