SynthwaveFan - Een interessante blog over synthwave, retrogaming en jaren 80 entertainment: Recensie: Intercosmic/Dark Star Bar van Mantus : Tegen het einde van dit donkere en bizarre jaar brengt Mantus gelukkig ons nog wat verlichting in de vorm van zijn nieuwe EP ¨Intercosmic/Dark Star Bar¨. Net als zijn voorgaande album ¨ Miami Nights ¨ van mei dit jaar, hebben we ook hier weer met een parel te maken.
Miami Nights - Mantus... There’s a great feeling of energy about “Miami Nights” by Mantus as those bright arps wheel out into the track and the classic synthwave drumbeat accelerates the music forward. A second and more airy arpeggiation spins into the music over the bass and drum throb. This was a piece of music that conjured up the feeling of passing under the neon glow of city lights as the night winds blows on your face. The main synth line has a very upbeat and energetic quality as it dances through the music. This is a piece that shines and glides along easily. There are wind-like sounds that float through as glowing, lustrous sensations fill the listener’s ears. Everything in this track fused together to generate something bright and smooth. The combination of shiny arps, that addictive beat and smooth flow created a track that captures the best parts of the original synthwave sound.

Interview with Mantus Modesty graces the human. A beautiful statement that perhaps applies to the Dutch synthwave producer Mantus. His first two singles are among my favorite songs for 2019. I keep saying that we have a huge talent here and that I am really looking forward to the new music Mantus will release. I am therefore very happy that I was able to interview Mantus and invite everyone to listen to the music of this amazing person. Marc, can you give a brief introduction of yourself? I produce under the moniker Mantus and live in Amsterdam. A city where dance music is flourishing. I have been producing music since I was twelve. I started on the Amiga with the FastTracker program. Before I started producing music I already listened to everything. My heroes were Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin and a lot of hardcore punk and metal bands. Until the moment I heard the first jungle/drum and bass (dnb) music. I was hooked right away and started producing this too. I went with friends (shout o
