Proving that patience doesn’t necessarily forego energy, Dino Sabatini arrives on Mantis with a charged, imposing statement of meditative techno. Sabatini has been at the forefront of the deep techno scene since the mid 00s, cultivating a sound with his own Outis Music which acknowledges the structures of club music while reaching beyond obvious drama and brute force, offering something more subliminal instead. On Mantis 06, Sabatini blurs the lines between organic and electronic percussion as he doubles down on steadfast rhythms executed with delicacy and impact in equal measure.

Terrain, a new collaborative project from two London-based artists, debuts on the Delsin Mantis series. With an appropriately immersive, subliminal approach to contemporary techno, they present a sound split between low BPM, creeping intensity and dynamic broken techno. It clearly implies an acute instinct for the vibe the sublabel is exploring. Steely, dub-kissed textures and impulses shape out the space, while the drums fall in crisp, precisely interlocking formations.

Premiere: Na Nich - Ground Effect

A special mix from our resident Minù Jr. to celebrate the equinox.

Description : 
Minù Jr is a multi-faceted project, in constant evolution, always looking for new influences. His two techno-sounding EPs, Ostinato and Electronic Pulses, reveal the artist's discovery of electronic music production.
In the last one, Electronic Pulses, he presents his singularly audacious vision of techno with four tracks with different atmospheres.
This year, Minù Jr joins the roster of the Lyon-based collective/label Monochrome and increases the BPM towards a synthetic drum n bass tinged with dub. The programmer of Chalet Perché (which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year) continues his discovery with several strings to his bow and arrows always well sharpened.

Delsin’s Mantis series continues to platform hybridised variations on modernist soundsystem music with the arrival of RVSHES, the production partnership from Logos (James Parker) and DB1 (Dylan Brownsword). Both artists have production credits on respected platforms such as Hidden Hawaii, Nullpunkt, Tectonic and The Death Of Rave and more than a few collaborations to their name. As RVSHES they’ve also released on re:st, and now their precision-tooled drum pressure is being applied to six exacting studies in rig-ready rhythm and repetition. 

There’s a spartan, cyclical nature to the work Parker and Brownsword carry out, setting up a sturdy beat set to non-standard timings and teasing it out over an extended run time, but they also exercise a keen sense of infinitesimal progression, edging their tracks past DJ tool territory into a more captivating headspace. Maintaining the immersive atmospherics of the Mantis series to date, theirs is a sharply focused sound which sits at the intersection of tough minimal techno and polyrhythmic broken beat, positively geared towards DJs favouring inventive building blocks in their sets.

Experimental Japanese operator Lemna (@lemnamusic) returns to Mantis with another five intricately sculpted cuts that toy with tension, release and the mysterious atmosphere of the forest at dawn. Lemna adopts a considered, patient approach to her music practice, creating interlocking rhythms which take cues from Autonomic fragmentation as much as techno hypnosis, but it’s the spatial pressure and textural sound design which makes her music truly fly. Taking predawn walks in woods at the foot of the mountain she calls home, she drew inspiration from five different organisms within the vibrant ecosystem around her to create a collection of tracks she aptly refers to as ‘Nocturnal Assembly’.

b1. Havinavalssi
b2. Solina

Finnish deep techno maestro Kaspiann (@soundsofkaspiann) makes his Mantis debut with four densely packed depth charges of dancefloor meditation. The Helsinki-based artist has been entrenched in the city’s underground scene for a long time, organising official and unofficial parties, DJing prolifically and performing live. Since establishing his VALA label in 2021 via a split release with regular collaborator Multicast Dynamics, his sound has refined towards an elegant, heads-down sound which is represented perfectly on this four-track excursion. From the even-tempered mantra of ‘Satakieli’ to the aqueous, lightly dubbed electro of ‘Tuiskussa Langennut’, the warm after hours synth bath of ‘Havinavalssi’ and the pensive percussive of ‘Solina’, Kaspiann demonstrates a keen balance between richly layered detail and an overall subtlety — heavyweight music that feels light on the ears.

Konsudd finds the hyperkinetic Konduku (@kondukukonduku) teaming up with close pal Aa Sudd (@aasudd) as they match subtlety with intensity. Their high-definition production leads on these spacious works of art, with dynamic layers of atmospherics punctured by dense kick drums. They take care to address soundsystem physicality, loading their kicks with irresistible subs down low and finely chiselling the double-time rhythms up top for an extra boost of energy.

A second appearance of Tammo Hesselink (@tammohesselink) on the Mantis series. Fusing the spatial effects treatments of dub with the metallic clang of industrial percussion and the stark negative space of minimal, Tammo Hesselink's sonic practice continues to create compelling, complex forms. His exacting style toys with atmospheric processing and mechanised motifs in place of traditional melodic elements, unearthing nuanced expression from timbre and rhythm while delivering firm structures for advanced soundsystem immersion.

A standout cut from the Ballroom Records catalogue, Solus by Kostas Maskalides is now featured in TEN: The Archive Series, Pt. 5 — a chapter celebrating the more melodic and house-driven side of our sound.

Defined by warm grooves and emotive atmospheres, the track highlights the refined, melo side of Ballroom’s Melodic House & Techno identity.

Danza Nativa, a Buenos Aires-based label, continues a phenomenal streak of releases with the debut album from young French producer Olorun. 'Indirect Image' sees Olorun drawing inspiration from his trip to South America, using exciting field recordings from the jungle, which, paired with tribal rhythms, create a wonderful atmosphere that is both driving and calming.
'Iridescence,' our premiere for today, is a beautifully crafted journey with subtle, ethereal pads that immaculately blend with field recordings, gentle percussions, and pulsating sub-bass. Imagine, 7 am, at party in the middle of the jungle, the Sun is up, you have the biggest smile on your face with your arms in the air, and this track is wrapping up what was the party to remember forever. I can totally see it.

'Indirect Image' LP and in turn 'Iridescence' are being released on February 15 via Danza Nativa.
