Mantis Radio 343 - Surgeon

Guest mix for @aka_r-ss Counterbalance show on December 13, 2020. One of my favorite mixes I've ever done—lots of tech house and techno influences weaved through. Inspired by the b2b sessions r.ss and I had in their basement.

Counterbalance (12.13.20)

Counterbalance (Guest Mix) (12.13.20)

This is a tribute mix of Karl O’Connor tracks from the last 15 years. He’s one of my biggest influences, his productions and collaborations are some of the heaviest hitting techno today in my opinion. British Murder Boys is easily one of my favourite music projects, so powerful and unrelenting.

Other artists on this mix include Surgeon, Dave Sumner (AKA Function), DJ Pete (as Substance), Dominick Fernow (as Vatican Shadow & Prurient), Ancient Methods and Kero.

The use of strong contrasts between light and dark sounds create a night sky lit by bright stars and wide open experiences. Counterbalance refers to the balance and pattern of inspiring vocals combined with powerful melodic driving bass lines.

Who is Jack Russell? 
Well, if you’re here, you’re on the right track. You’re curious and looking for answers. Jack does not claim to have “The Answers” but rather offers a fresh perspective and a different approach. Jack Russell is an old soul. He’s a friend and an open ear. He is you and he is me. He is everywhere and nowhere, like a fly on the wall taking it all in to share with his audience. Jack has dedicated years to questioning everything.  He defines himself by it.  Along the way he has been collecting knowledge and people. He has spent his life weeding out the bullshit that is littered amongst all of our societal norms and daily life. All of these things are so deeply intertwined and passed down from generation to generation that people do not even question them anymore, they follow like sheep with the mentality of “it was good enough for those before me.” Queue Jack Russell.  Jack wants to introduce you to new ideas, people and ways of thinking. Open your ears and mind to look at life in a whole new light. Join him and occasionally his cohorts, on his journey of dispelling myths, spotlighting facts and hitchhiking through disbelief.
Stray from the path, With Jack Russell.
