S1 EP8: Mantra - From Garage Rave to Jungle DJ, starting London's premier Jungle night 'Rupture' and the importance of grass roots communities
Very excited to present the next guest in the series - The unstoppable DJ Mantra. At this point she needs little introduction but if you don’t know she - along with partner Double O - is responsible for what has become London’s premier Jungle night - Rupture. They’re actually just about to celebrate their 16th year running. It’s a grass roots event and community and this extends to her work with EQ50 - a collective of women working towards fairer representation within drum and bass. A real pleasure to talk to and we discuss how she was introduced to Pirate Radio by over-hearing her older brother listening to stations in his bedroom and how she started off her fascination with it all as a garage raver. She’s just someone who is so in touch with grass roots and the building of communities - and these are topics that come up time and time again in this chat. Come and discuss the episodes and much more on the Astrophonica Discord Follow Fracture on Instagram, Twitter, Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music, Beatport For more information on the project, visit 0860.fm
