Listen to Dam Mantle's Purple Arrow EP now!

I stumbled across Dam Mantle at Field Day last weekend on the XOYO/Lock Tavern Stage and instead of queuing for a pint which was my initial plan, I danced, because I couldn't quite help become absorbed by the gorgeous hypnotic glitches, throbbing dubstep bass lines and overall intergalactic feel of the set.

Dam Mantle is Scottish producer Tom Marshallsay who has remixed for Gold Panda and more recently Kele Okereke and while he does a damn fine job of remixing for others, his own work is really where the magic happens. His influences of post rock and folk are subtly incorporated into his Kaleidoscopic electronica and the result is a party for the listener. Like other new kids on the block Boxcutter and Rustie, Dam Mantle is bringing fresh ideas to the electronic world and it's exciting.

His brand new EP Purple Arrow is released on September 13th and one you shall want to own.
You can have a listen in advance now though. Pre-order your copy here.

Boxcutter to release Arecibo Message on April 17th

Northern Ireland's Boxcutter is back with a brand new LP on Planet Mu Records on April 17th. The title is Arecibo Message and it's Barry Lynn's 4th album on the celebrated label. On last nights Mary Anne Hobbs show on BBC Radio 1, Boxcutter mixed it up all wonderfully glitchy to preview tracks from his forthcoming release. You can hear that mix again by visiting HERE. Since 2006 we have had the aural pleasures of Oneiric, Glyphic and Balancing Lakes from Boxcutter and if last nights remix is anything to go by then Arecibo Message will be another album featuring on high rotation on many a stereo.
Check out the first 12" from the new LP, A Familiar Sound with Kinnego Flux on Boomkat.
