Weekend is coming and once again we thought we’d come up with a track selection for you to get the party started. From Indie Dance to Electronica and Electro to Drum & Bass here’s what’s on our playlist heading into the weekend and we certainly hope you enjoy the tracks too. Please note that some of the tracks are only available as previews on Soundcloud and one of them is actually only available on Spotify for the time being, so we recommend checking out the full playlist on Spotify rather on Soundcloud. Pick your poison and have a great weekend y’all!

It’s been a while since I posted anything by Mantis here (even before the much needed break I took from blogging) but the Atlanta boys are finally back as they had a new EP out about a month ago. Truth be told I find myself being very picky and generally speaking not impressed by most Dubstep that goes around these days as it all seems to boil down to high standard productions (nevermind the whole presets/samples argument) but less and less originality and well, feeling. This doesn’t seem to be the case with Mantis“Avidity” though as the boys didn’t hesitate to go hard, like they always did anyway since the beginning. The nice mix of Drum & Bass and heavy Dubstep (you might even wanna call it Metalstep or Deathstep if you’re into that sort of thing) and thankfully the absence of the classic Hybrid Trap track, “Back Again” comes as close to Hybrid Trap you’ll listen from Mantis on this EP (and that isn’t close enough), certainly earned “Avidity” quite a few extra points in my book. Add the well thought of track order which gives a nice flow and album feel instead of a “random tracks placed on the same release” feel and here we have it. A Dubstep release that isn’t as predictable as most Dubstep releases going around nowadays and definitely worth checking out. Continue reading »

Next up comes a name that we’ve always loved on this blog since the very early days due to their dark, heavy, no holds barred Dubstep and even Metalstep. And even though the Atlanta based duo Mantis hasn’t been featured here as often as they once were, we’re definitely happy to hear some new music coming by them with their brand new single “Slangin’ / Warmonger” (feat. Armanni Reign) which was released a few days ago on Uplink Audio. Two new originals and if you expect some Trap or cheesy EDM here you better keep moving on folks because Mantis are going full power and heavy, just the way we like it and would expect by the duo. Here’s “Slangin’ / Warmonger”, so you better check it out for some nice Dubstep. Continue reading »

It´s time to wrap things up for my part, hence let´s sound the bell for the final round and get filthy one last time today! The perfect track to make your ears strongly buzzing  was easy to find, here comes my last post and also pick for the “remix of the day”, today been done by the relentless deathstep duo Mantis, who mangled very impressively the track “Drones” by Liquid Stranger in their typical uncompromising and hefty style! The Americans are going to be on tour in Europe soon btw, so if you like to see them live have a look on their tour dates on Facebook, in any case check this remix out, make sure to grab it as it´s a freebie too and have a banging evening!!!

Hell-o all and we hope you had a great weekend, whther partying, chlling and resting. MOnday today though and a new week is ahead, which means the time for rest and relaxation is over, for the Metalectro duo at least. Busy day and week ahead and you should keep a close eye on this page as well as ourr Facebook one for some announcements but until then, time to get loud and heavy! And a name that is pretty well known for heaviness and loudness is definitely Mantis who just recently had a new EP out on Play Me Records. The EP is titled “End Game” and features 2 originals plus 1 intstrumental mix of the main track “End Game”. Not many words are really necessary when it comes to Mantis as the bass does the talking usually and so it happens with “End Game” as well, which is the track i have picked to open the day with. So, brace yourselves, press play and of course check out the full EP too!
