Ed Devane – ‘Molten Membrane’ album launch
Ed’s stunning and long awaited album is not far away. Also brace yourself for an accompanying 12” which will follow sometime after that. For now check out the launch night flyer and the killer lineup we have put together for it. Those who attend the gig will receive a free copy of the album, a good month in advance of the full release too. Get in there!
Trapdoor Material Part 2
We’ve dug deeper into the dungeon to present the next in the series of ‘Trapdoor Material’. Featured on this are Fran Hartnett, Uninerves, Kachanski and Ed Devane; supplying between them a mixture of techno, dub, electro and a specially created genre called ‘Trapstep’. Clips can be heard in the Latest Release panel on your right or in the Releases section, where you can also see Redmonk’s artwork that continues the comic story of Part 1, bringing it to a brutal next level! Early support from Surgeon, Inigo Kennedy, Jerome Hill, Paul Mac, Gunjack, Grovskopa, Kr!z, Smear, Charlton, Baeks, Marcel Heese and many more. The worldwide release is November 30th 2009, available from all real and online record shops worth their salt..
Mantrap welcomes puresthatred and Eomac
As his track ‘robbery’ smashes the walls down on Trapdoor Material Part 1, it is about time that we officially presented to you: puresthatred.
With a storming offering to come on the label later in the year, it is also with great pleasure that we welcome Eomac to the fold. Check out puresthatred and Eomac in the Artists section.
Trapdoor Material Part 1
A new 12" is on the way. Featuring tracks from puresthatred, Magnetize, Rory St John and Sunil Sharpe, early feedback has been great; and with test pressings sounding pleasing to our ears as well, we're pretty confident that some of you will like it too. Clips can be listened to in the Releases section
