Out on Germany's premier bass music imprint 〈Ilian Tape〉!! With her own show on NTS and appearances for Keep Hush, UK-born DJ Mantra tours all over the world, and here she delivers four humor-filled, dancefloor-ready tracks built with a slow-motion feel that cut across dub, breakbeat, 2-step and techno alike.
A1 "Worstis" (Sample 1) is an inventive rave track running at 140 BPM with obscure background textures, eerie echo-drenched vocal samples, euphoric irregular rhythms and dubstep touches; B1 "Stomping Ground" (Sample 2) is a 150 BPM stepper of deep dub; and A2 "Shackout," a 143 BPM broken beat that balances its humorous streak beautifully, is cutting-edge entertainment as well. An original, broken-up result that's pure her, drawing enormous inspiration from rave culture.
