MANTIS, REPPIN THE ATL





Taylor Scott and Paul Ollinger, known as Mantis, are a relentless duo. Having begun their musical careers with metal & deathcore, the transition to heavy bass music was not so much a step down in intensity, but a slide into a world with spectacular tools to mix dense layers of music in new ways, and deploy it with force. Mantis was formed in early 2011 to test the boundaries of metal-influenced production, and plunge the result into a wash of haunting atmospheres. Mantis wants to provide “music to make you feel like you’re somewhere else, and you’ve never been more stoked to be there.”


With that target in sight, 2011 was a smashing first year; the momentum began in Atlanta, and overflowed with releases on labels such as Play Me, Heavy Artillery, BroTown Records, & Abducted Records. A standard was set with 2011's "All Worlds", their first EP, breaking the top 10 on Beatport's Dubstep releases, and held with 2012's "Futures" scoring #5 on Beatport's overall chart. The support of tastemakers such as Liquid Stranger, Downlink, Figure, Cyberoptics, Diesel, Genetix, Persist, & Sluggo, points to an accomplishment of musical influence on an international scale, and the potential for much more.

A history in Atlanta's metal scene, playing in acts such as WLTP and Attila, provides Mantis' cornerstone of fierce stage skills. Having become known across the USA for throwing down an aggressive live show with unmatched energy and only the heaviest bass music, Mantis' reputation stands as being one of the gnarliest new production teams in the scene. 

With packed crowds at hand, and Beatport charts at their feet, only one goal remains- to raise the awareness of metal-influenced bass music... oh, and world domination.

Started in 2008 by Dioptrics, Abducted Records has established themselves as one of the pioneer labels for all sounds HEAVY in the broken beat world of EDM. With a careful eye they watch for tracks that are both maticulously mixed down with a spark of brutality. Keeping a fresh list of both well established veterans, and brand new blood, Abducted makes it a point to be a breeding ground for new thoughts, sounds, and structure for the community. Huge Basslines, Pounding drums, Eerie atmospheres, Savage Synth lines, and Mezmorizing Melodies are what you can always expect when you see a track from us. We were sent to Earth with one mission in mind. Convince the world to GET ABDUCTED.
