On 23rd October we turn 7 years old! So as a small token of appreciation we thought we'd dedicate our yearly contribution to the mix series to artists who have contributed to Mantissa, whether that be via a mix, label release, playing at our events, or even answering our questions in an interview. Link to the mix below:
https://soundcloud.com/mantissa1/mantissa-mix-260-mantissa-part-1 

The music that makes up Mantissa Mix 260 is either directly produced by a Mantissa contributor or music from a record label that they run. We have missed out so many great artists but rest assured there will be a Part 2 in the next few months - keep your eyes peeled!

As an additional celebration of this milestone, you can use the discount code '260mix' for 25% off our Bandcamp discography: http://mantissa.bandcamp.com/

DJ Merlín

Our first artist of the February expedition is none other than DJ Merlín, he has recently majored in composition and sound design at the Arts Academy in Utrecht. The theme of his thesis: Getting artistic input from traditional Eastern African music to implement in modern electronic music. To accomplish his focus was mainly developing composition techniques based on the style elements from this culture, with the aim to create material he otherwise ​​would not be able to develop and thus create a hybrid and unique piece of music. The hybrid characteristics of his music are a stable factor throughout his music collection and performance. 

After 10 years of sculpting his style, DJ Merlín is ready to spread his wings.
Next to making music and DJing, he is one of the owners and the programmer of the local unit Kraft und Licht. Whether it's deep in the Amsterdam forest or in the hull of an old freight ship, they bring together the perfect blend of audience and artists that include Byron Yeates, D. Tiffany, Jane Fitz, Carl H, Sansibar, re:ni and many others.

The thought process behind this mix a creating a journey through a space jungle with an animalistic vibe and energy and showcase some of his new creations

DUSK248 By DJ Merlín

After D Hux (@dominic-huxley) absolutely smashed warm-up duties at one of our first ever Whomps, founder Annx (@anna-rose-wirth) invited him on the ‘Sound of Whomp’ to show us what he’s got deep in his collection. 


One third of Pala Sounds party crew and mastermind behind Quarantine Vibe Checks, D Hux has put together an hour vinyl-only mix inspired by “the peak time slot bag” — selected perfectly to see in the sunrise. Tuck in to this deliciousness.

The fifth instalment of the Voyages mix series puts @hanndmusic firmly in the pilot seat, setting off straight to Plantera HQ.

With Dan first catching our eye at parties with the Down to Earth collective in Bristol (namely an Underwater set in a tiny basement💦) we decided we had to give the Comma Traxx head the reigns for a Voyage.

Strap in for deep, driving hypnosis from eery to etheral, with no stone inbetween left unturned.

Thank you Dan 👾

"A lone traveller emerges from their crash-landed ship upon Plantera, uncertain of what land is before them and what mysteries await. Through the dense, purple mist a marshy woodland appeared. A luminous curiosity pulses from the forest that surrounds this lone wonderer, inviting them to explore with aimless enthusiasm.

Taking them through thick fog bewilderment with shimmers of panic2, enducing sporadic segments of sprinting for safety. Morphing through lucid curiosity into dark and dense dashes of adrenaline; always questioning 'where am I?' somehow their thoughts echoed off the surrounding trees, thick of reverberating thought bubbles. 

Despite a desire to feel scared, the wonderer somehow felt comforted by the surrounding vast atmosphere of Plantera. Ascending to the utopic tree city that inhabits the fog land, the local colony offers nourishment and peace to rest with ease, only a taster of the endless beauty that Plantera can offer"
