Mantra

London

...

Known for her deep, emotive sets that push the boundaries of drum and bass while still paying homage to its foundation, Mantra brings an intense passion into her selection, striking just the right balance between dark and uplifting. Having played in clubs across London and Europe, Mantra’s talent, skill and passion for promoting diversity in dance music have landed her features in both DJ Mag and Mixmag.

Far more than just a DJ and producer, Mantra’s work developing, curating, and promoting the Rupture brand, as a label and as jungle’s premier event, speak to how deeply drum and bass culture influences her life. Community work has played a vital role in her life and in December 2018 she started the initiative EQ50 to mentor and support women within the heavily male dominated drum and bass genre.

Tasha

London

...

Tashas DJ-Stil verwebt Tracks nahtlos – aus ihrer bassgeprägten Heimat Großbritannien ebenso wie aus den Four-to-the-Floor-Techno-Formen, die in Berlin und Detroit entstanden sind.

Mit sicherem Gespür für Atmosphäre und einem souveränen Zugriff auf den Dancefloor mischt sie aktuelle Tracks mit alten Perlen und anderen Stilrichtungen dazwischen, wie D&B und Jungle.

In einer Branche, in der Künstler*innen oft aufgefordert werden, ihre Kunst zugunsten von Social-Media-Präsenz, Likes und anderen inhaltsleeren Zielen zurückzustellen, ist Tasha sehr gefragt – für ihre kompromisslose „Music First“-Haltung, ihre Auswahl und ihr Können.
