Primal rhythmic conceits.

With a surging spatial strategy, ‘Flight to Cappadocia’ refers to the Turkish region known for vast underground cities. ‘Rite’ evokes a hypnotic and tense atmosphere where primordial forces act with impunity.

From ceremonial dirges to frantic rites, ‘Brutal Civilisation’ draws together ideas of humanity’s position within the vastness of time, questioning the nature of civilisation.

thatboytim (Takeover Rec) and Rob Mac (Sonika) are the Interdimensional Drifters. Both have a long history in punk, post-rock, and noise rock, as well as techno, electronica.

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.
