We continue to introduce you to new names and today we have Manta - an artist from The Hague, Netherlands with a selection of exclusively his tracks that are not released yet and are waiting to be released.

Which artists has influenced you the most?

- This is really quite diverse, I listen to lot's of different artists, obscure and more known artists. Listening to a lot of the old Tumpett label tapes right now but also the whole ecosystem surrounding Drexciya (UR, Dopplereffekt, Zyklus, DJ Stingray and various Stinson/Donald releases). If I would describe the music style I make it would be an exploration in EBM and new beat sounds blended with (Detroit) electro and ambient soundscapes. One of my all time favourite releases is Autechre - Tri Repetae.

What new projects/releases with your participation are expected in the near future?

- Still working on it!

Which artists/labels is more relevant to you now?

- My current playlist is quite diverse - from electro, ambient to doom metal. Right now I play a recent release on Brokntoys from Non Punire called Espeletia.

What inspires you now to create music?

- Mostly the machines I work with. I create all my own sounds. If I don't feel inspired I usually create my own presets on different synths and these can bring me in a certain atmosphere / vibe and suddenly a new track is finished. 

What set-up do you use when creating music? 

- I sequence from Ableton Live and use hardware and software 50/50. The Prophet 12 is used a lot, this is a dark beast but really requires programming to get the most out of it. I have some vintage synths such as a SH2 which I use often for basslines, Juno 60, MKS-50 and Korg ex8000. I exploit the reverbs from the Ensoniq DP/4 quite a lot.

Release Info :

Cliff Dalton - Sonic Alchemy: Pathways And Transmutations

The first time you hear Sonic Alchemy: Pathways And Transmutations, you might think you're listening to a soundtrack for a movie that hasn't been made yet. Cliff Dalton invites you to close your eyes and let your mind's eye roam free, to explore the hidden depths of your imagination.

As you journey through the album's six tracks, you'll encounter a wealth of different moods and atmospheres. From the ominous drones and pulsating rhythms of "Ancient Sorcery" to the tranquil beauty of "The Lake", each track is like a chapter in a novel that you can't put down.

One thing that is unique about Cliff Dalton's music is his ability to conjure up vivid imagery with sound. Take "Headswim", for example. The track opens with a disorienting swirl of synths, like you're being pulled through a vortex while hearing strange noises in the distance. You're not sure where you are, but you know you need to keep moving forward.

Elsewhere on the album, Cliff Dalton shows his versatility as a producer. "Estuarium" is a slow-burning dub track, while "Have Mercy" is a delicate, melancholy piece that showcases his skill with melody. And then there's "To The Next Chamber", the album's epic closer is a tour de force of intricate rhythms, shimmering textures, and otherworldly soundscapes.

But for all its sonic wizardry, Sonic Alchemy: Pathways And Transmutations is ultimately an album about emotion. Whether it's the sense of wonder and awe you feel when you gaze up at the night sky, the feeling of loss and longing that comes with saying goodbye to someone you love, or the pure, unbridled joy of being alive, Dalton's music is deeply felt and deeply affecting.

This album will take you on a journey, that will make you think and feel in equal measure. Sonic Alchemy: Pathways And Transmutations is a work of art that deserves to be heard and savored, an album that will reward you with new discoveries every time you listen.

1. Ancient Sorcery

TECHcontrol aka Darren Holmes
I have been making music on and off for other 10 years and it's his way to escape from every day life. I have always loved music of all genres. Growing up in Yorkshire in the 70's and 80's I was brought up on groups such as Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dreams and the Who. The 80's changed a lot for me when the begin of electronic music started to hit the scene. Breakdance and the music surrounding it was the thing I remembers the most. Along came the 90's and my love of music just grow with the acid/rave scene along with the Brit-pop scene. But it wasn't until the end of the 90's I discovered how to make music on a computer and this fascinated me so much.
Electro has been to be my first love ever since I first listened to Kraftwerk back in the early 80's. Then my first release comes in 2016 on Urban Connections for the label compilation of VA “Fifth Element”, which was the beginning of a continuous collaboration with the label until today. 
Have worked on remixes for the likes of Cybereign.
I have created an EP "The Cure" on Urban Distorsions record label as well as my debut album "Perfect Machine" on Urban Connections Label.
I have also featured on the the fund raising album "CAREBOTS" by Bass Agenda Records.
