Melodic Distraction - July 2023

July 2023. In amongst all the usual high grade tracks, we chat to Irish producer and DJ @thatboytim-terrorboy. Label boss of Takeover Recordings, Tim Smyth has been a friend of @MantisRadio since the early days, and very quickly a close friend when he moved to London in the late 2000s. These days he and his family are back in Ireland, but he and Mike chat often and have been playing with the idea of short chats on our radio shows. So, consider their chat today a work in progress. Also on the show, music from Mandy Indiana (seriously one of the best albums of the year), Katatonic Silentio, Cormac, DJ Slip, E-Dance, Temudo, Kareen, Ten Years Lost, Orlando Voorn, and Godflesh. Before taking an unexpected swerve into a minimal drum & bass flex in hour two. ______ Mandy, Indiana – (ノ>ω<)ノ :。・:*:・゚’★,。・:*:♪・゚’☆ (Crystal Aura Redux) [Fire Talk] nthng – Unlimited () [Transatlantic] Katatonic Silentio – Le Réveil Du Combattant [Ilian Tape] Alexey Volkov – Never [Jealous God] Cormac – Leather ‘N Lasers [Polari Records] Gimenö – It’s my break (Reeko remix) [TUTU Records] Apart – On Earth [Trau-ma] Stave & Grebenstein – Alfa [Standards & Practices] DJ Slip – Great Masters [Kanzleramt] E-Dancer – Behold (DJ Bone remix) [Drumcode] Temudo – 7ov3 (Melodic Version) [Carpet & Snares Records] Karenn – From Hunk To Husk [Voam] Aphrohead – Ride It Out [MB Elektronics] Darkfloor talks to thatboytim Ten Years Lost – Daftys (Bustaz) [International Chrome] Ten Years Lost – Asert Teeth [International Chrome] Orlando Voorn – Shockwave [TRUST] Godflesh – Permission [Avalanche Recordings] Black Magnet – Incubate (Justin K.
