Exmantera is a computational artist, DJ and producer based in Helsinki, Finland. Her reputation precedes her; having been featured on a number of high-profile electronic compilations such as Feyrûse by Shelter, Torrent by Double Take, and Lost Memory by World Canvas, her work is highly regarded across the electronic spectrum. She has played internationally at club events such as experimental club night SYPHEN in London as well as domestically alongside TORUS in Helsinki. Releasing work both under Exmantera and her alias MEAT CAGE, her club edits have taken the deconstructed club circuit by storm, with no end to her upward trajectory in sight.

For the 30th edition of RADIO:TRAUMA, Exmantera presents a mix comprised solely of her body of work made of classics, deep cuts and unreleased tracks. In the grey area between accessible club culture and the most peculiar corners of the avant-garde, this mix will bring you closer to the forefront of electronic sound.

INDEX:Records, a new label of far-flung, left-field electronic experimentation and wizardry, are releasing their latest various-artists compilation, “INDEX: Vol. 3” on November 4th. We at Bolting Bits would like to take the opportunity to invite you to a virtual release listening-party happening on Thursday, October 29th at 4:00pm EDT, hosted by INDEX on Facebook Live. The link to the event with more information is posted below. 

With the fifth track on INDEX:Records’ compilation, King Softy’s “Pump Capacitor” brings a slice of harsh, corrosive abstract electronic in the same vein as Objekt. The obscure Berlin-based artist has yet to release an EP, but if this track is any indication, his sound is fully formed and ready to be deployed in a longer format. 

The opening sub-bass of the track is deep and all-encompassing, making way for an onslaught of stripped-down, mutated drum-n-bass percussion, alien-like synth effects, and a heavily-distorted vocal clip. Softy takes the bare-bones structure of a drum-n-bass song and stretches it to its most extreme permutations until what is left is hardly recognizable, but at the same, completely engrossing. Despite its exercise in experimental electronic acrobatics, the song maintains a robust structure, circling back to its central beat with the same menacing and stealthy energy of an Anaconda wrapping its way around a lifeless victim.

The song gradually loosens its muscular grip, shedding layers of sonic distortion and contorted noise before once again revealing that skeletal drum pattern and ephemeral ambiance. Across four minutes, Softy displays an impressive array of hard-edged, mind-melting sonic tricks that feel right at home on this outre compilation.
