Well, here we our rolling into our second year of broadcasting MANTIS on Brap.FM. Wow. Got some treats lined up for the year, where will be continuing the fucking excellent showcases and the complete range of textured sounds and darkfloor electronics. To kick this off we have Jay Pace.

SHOWCASE
Being a Brighton based station I reckons this is a wee bit of tribute, but we have none other than Jay Pace on the showcase selection. I caught some of his set at Glade 2006 and we've pushed his forthcoming releases and the frankly excellent Jengamaster on show before so it's only fitting we got him in for a showcase.

Jay fell into techno in the mid nineties, having found his way into dance music through the London rave scene. Together with like-minded people he helped build up a soundsystem, and then establish a regular night, namely: Black Box, which is in its third year down in sunny Brighton. Taking influences from rave, old school techno, and dipping into a host of different sub-genres Jay experiments with different styles to deliver a personal take on a decade of dance music. Now based in Buenos Aires, Jay is focusing on his production, with a release currently out on r3tox and two forthcoming releases on Tyrisia later this year.

REST OF DA SHOW
Bleeps, drones, beats, clicks, bass and the usual hour presented by DVNT, got a fair old bit of new freshness to get through including DZ, Macwolf, Kodek (which is frankly awesome), Threnody and probably some of The Bug.
