Stepping up for MANT004 is the one and only Ian DPM. This EP continues an impressive string of releases for him, including on his own imprints Scuffed Recordings and Definite Party Material, all exploring the edges of club music with tunes belonging slap bang in the middle of the dancefloor.

Proceedings start with an evening service, except the gospel choir have forgotten the keys to the church and instead take themselves and their organ down to the club for some heavenly amen breaks. The rest of the EP remains firmly on the dancefloor, but the club itself is launched into another dimension, powered by overcharged acid and off-kilter percussion riding over weighty, no-nonsense basslines.

Compliments gives Acid Dance quite the beating on the remix by putting it through a paper shredder, grabbing some of the shreds of paper and sticking them back together with a highly flammable glue before lighting the whole thing into a chaotic frenzy.

Mantissa Mix Series

Mantissa Premieres

The mix series and music platform Mantissa takes its first steps into the label space with Mantissa 001. Written and produced by a close friend to the Mantissa family, this unnamed and elusive artist has begun the label with a bang, three club focused, space inspired tracks designed to decimate a dancefloor or atone a night's shenanigans at an after's.
Space Cadet opens the extra-terrestrial affair, weaving from acoustic elements to electronic and eclectic synth lines. Frozen Bounce finalising the A side with a wobbly number, woven together with quick cuts and jerky elements. U10A, the most structured of a complex affair, is a warming club tool perfect for both beginning and finishing an evening. It's remix similarly suitable for any party specific scenario, produced by the infamously talented artist Ciel.

Haider’s approach to music is one of constant evolution and exploration with many musical facets ranging from dubby and textured to more spacious and groovy productions, focused on delivering intricate and deep experiences.

The young producer from Pakistan has connected with the world, as his original productions and collaborative works get released on record labels based in Canada, England, Germany and Portugal."

Mantissa Mix 272: Josh Caffé

"When I started putting together the tracklist for this mix, I think I knew I wanted to create a mix that could showcase what I could do when given a more peak-time slot and a club ready with dancers wanting to get loose. It’s filled with some of my favourite club tracks whilst going through the motions in terms of genre, style, energy. Lots of rolling techno, euphoric breakdowns and tracks I’ve not generally had the chance to play out in a club scenario yet. It’s a long one at 2 hours, but I hope people enjoy it enough to stay till the end. It finishes on one of my favourite tracks Tys - Astral that sums up my style of DJing to an extent - feel good nostalgia."

Premiere: Trystan - Scrambled Circuits [Polymath]

"I’ve really been digging these older records I’ve got from like '98 - '03 that are sitting in this little sweet spot between tech house and techno. They have a real repetitive trancey vibe to them but in an off kilter kind of way. I wanted to mix these together with some more understated tunes that I have that I don’t get to play so much. I’ve really been loving these more moody tracks and b side vibe productions at the moment - probably a reflection of my own mood because of the weather in Melbourne at the moment, but it’s nice to get a chance to give these records a run that might be too challenging or moody for a summer dance floor full of smiles. As always there’s a mix of old and new, but it’s all on the same tip."

"This mix was recorded on a holiday lunchtime, so it really captures the feeling of wanting to relax and dance. I mainly play chilly deep UKG tracks and UK Funky."

@stonestaro

Mantissa Mix 275: Stones Taro

"For this mix I wanted to do something very introspective and calm. It’s made up of mainly ambient, beat-less tracks pieced together with recent field recordings I’ve taken out and about. It feels like 1 long track to me, rather than a collection of tracks played one after the other. I used to have a few mixes that I would really enjoying falling asleep to and I genuinely hope a few people fall asleep to this one. Thanks for having me, enjoy! "

Mantissa Show on Voices Radio - December 2022

"The mix traverses quintessentially UK club sounds with the latest underground electronic music from the SWANA region + Arabic speaking diaspora. The mix expresses an insight into my own personal Arab-British identity and the in between space I exist in but definitely circa 4am on the dance floor in a sweaty room. It also expresses the mixture of sounds I like to play at Habibti Nation, the club night and radio show I run. 

Definitely quite a mix of genres from old school UK funky, new UK techno and hard drum, Portuguese batida and new electronic experimental club sounds from Cairo, Amman, Tunis and the Arabic diaspora. Also a Palestinian trap and an Egyptian and a Lebanese pop tracks thrown in. YALLAH! "

Premiere: Ian DPM ‘Acid Dance (Vocal)’

"It has always been difficult for me to describe the kind of music I like to play, I guess it’s usually techno, electro or whatever. As we only have one word in Spanish for “genre” and “gender” it seems fitting that I try to listen beyond genre and see beyond gender, as we do on my label Bestiario Collective. Both language and location influence the way we perceive the world, and for this special mix I wanted to convey all the fun latinx sabor and sounds that remind me of my house-dominated Peruvian scene; with my own twist of course. Recorded on my dearests 350s, from Lima to the other side of the world with love."

NOODS - Mantissa w/ Tom Allman Feb 15th 2023

A shrill repetitive noise roused them in the early hours of the morning - like an air raid siren it cut through everything. Where it came from they didn't know, as far as they were aware there was nobody around for miles and miles - this was the middle of nowhere. Sleep was impossible now, though tiredness gripped every inch of them, they couldn't drift off for fear of the unknown. By the window they sat, squinting in the darkness, listening out for something moving in the bushes, but nothing appeared before day broke - had they dreamed it all?

As one half of the brains behind Scuffed Recordings and the curator of Definite Party Material, Ian DPM knows a thing or two about what constitutes a banging tune. Making his first forays into production himself a few years back with his Visions EP on Scuffed, he's since released a bunch of other EPs that teeter on the fringes of club music, fusing the likes of UKG, breakbeat, dancehall and techno. His next release comes via London-based music platform turned label Mantissa and is charged up with all the sonics you'd expect from him; weighty basslines, frenetic rhythms and crisp breakbeats.

For the 283rd edition of our mix series we present the impervious Katya. Kindred resident and regular party starter, Katya has a love for all things electro. 

I wanted this mix to reflect the sort of sounds you may expect to see me play in a club setting at the moment —  spooky techno & electro really do it for me, especially if there’s a vocoder involved, so my sets are always infused with a bit of doom & gloom. I play happy stuff too but the moodiness gets to my soul more than any other style of music. Although the mix is punchy, I’ve kept it under 130 and stripped it back so it’s listenable during work hours. I feel like in the past, my guest mixes were probably too intense to listen to unless you were getting ready to go out, that’s something I’ll be doing a lot less of this year. Equally, I’m hoping this mix is the beginning of me coming out of my imposter syndrome fuelled creative block. Enjoy !

To close out a brilliant year from R.A.N.D Muzik recordings; RM241220. Back when we spoke to label boss Reece Walker in the summer he spoke on his appreciation for compilations; "I just really enjoy them. I feel like a good compilation is just such a good record. A different style in every part of the record"

The final compilation of 2020 for R.A.N.D features Carmel and Salomo as well as DJ Detox, both fresh of white hot releases on the label. Bufiman whose full length released on Dekmantel earlier this year and last but not least Roza Terenzi.

Katie Campbell's breakout year has been disrupted and discharged by much of the pandemic. Regardless, in 2020 she recorded potentially the best RA mix we at Mantissa have ever heard, as well as releasing a full length awesome album on Planet Euphorique which sold out across all corners of the internet almost instantly.

The sound and style she has crafted, created and choreographed for herself is ever-present in her addition to this compilation; 'Sit On My Interface'.  A head churning burner, thumping-ly soothing and destined for rocking ruckus clubs when life returns to normal.
