Electric Mantis

In 2013, Electric Mantis, né Wyatt Pearson, was just another bedroom producer attempting to penetrate the blockade obstructing his path to success. He had no idea a simple Reddit post of his tune “Flips and Flops, Drips and Drops” would be the ammunition he needed to completely destroy the barricade and propel him into a position more fitting of his talents. “Flips and Flops” is a marvel of sound design, with its dreamy synths floating around a rock-solid beat accented by a constantly evolving army of vocal snips Read more on Last.fm …read full bio

In 2013, Electric Mantis, né Wyatt Pearson, was just another bedroom producer attempting to penetrate the blockade obstructing his path to success. He had no idea a simple Reddit post of his tune “Flips and Flops, Drips and Drops” would be the ammunition he needed to completely destroy the barricade and propel him into a position more fitting of his talents. “Flips and Flops” is a marvel of sound design, with its dreamy synths floating around a rock-solid beat accented by a constantly evolving army of vocal snips, lasers, and samples of oddball sounds that only contribute to the funky, lighthearted groove. The sonic mastery he displayed wasn’t drastically different from the music he had already spent the previous year sending to labels and blogs. However, an endorsement from Djemba Djemba and his post ascending to the front page of Reddit provided the perfect entry point. Over the last three years, Electric Mantis’ talent and reach have expanded exponentially. He now boasts an impressive body of funky, forward-thinking bass beats, including remix work for Porter Robinson, Gramatik and Giraffage. He has dropped his unique brand of future funk as a guest on countless tours, as well; Mija and Jai Wolf both personally pegged him to join them on the road. And with a recent signing to AM Only—one of dance music’s most prolific artist agencies—he will undoubtedly be coming to a city near you very soon. Read more on Last.fm.
